    Hey Glen, do you sell a CD or DVD with all the pics from the trip? I think that would be great to have all those incredible pics you took.

    Started working on a two-hour narrated version with approx 500 slides. Should take a few weeks and will be available off my site. Procedes will likely go to Room to Read, a project building schools and libraries in Cambodia, Viet Nam and Nepal.

    Thanks again Glen. I'm ordering the book. Old one and new one when I can.

    Good news. Tim from Happy Trails will be hosting a show at his Boise shop, Tuesday evening September 26th and I'll also do one in Danbury, Conn mid-November. A few other dates are being hammered out now so I'm looking forward to meeting a bunch more of YFFs.:1drink

    If you make it to China in the next year, let me know. I am still trying to find out what th elaws are about geting a motorcycle here are. It seems that each City has it's own licensing system (that is as far as my research has gotten) and a new bike runs 4000-6000 Yuan.

    So far I am just on a bicycle trying to learn the traffic patterns.

    Hi Glenn, Glad to hear you are still at it. I had a computer crash and lost track of you for awhile. But I still have the signed copy of your book.
    Waiting for the 07 KLR to show up any day now.

    We're on for September 26, 2006 with Happy Trails in Boise, Idaho. I'll be riding down the day after the show in Seattle. If you have a local electronic grapevine, we'd all appreciate passing the word. See you there.

    Motorrad sent a bullentin to all dealers stating that during the month of October Open Houses, they will pay half the cost of booking my show. Call your local dealer and make noise.

    That's cool. Do you happen to have a flyer or something that provides an overview that we can use with our local dealers? For those that might have been living under a rock or aren't advrider readers?

    Send a mailing address and I'll forward the promo DVD so you can hand deliver it. Most dealers are requesting a hundred-mile-exclusive though and Danbury was first. I'll also be in the San Francisco Bay Area October 7th.

    The cross-country multimedia show ride that I hoped to do July and August is happening now but for places outside the West Coast, BMW will be, ugh, flying me there.
