If he's smart, he's gonna put a PayPal Donate button only in his next post.

To keep you waiting, here is a video made by one of my passengers on the way, a very cool chinese guy called Leo.

I could not get the video embedded in the post so you will have to click on a link to see it, hope its alright :

Besitos.

My wife and I are your age and we have been reading this non-stop. We envision doing a trip like this although probably with two bikes instead of two up. Thanks for the report, very well done. We can't wait to see the rest!

Frederic_Shiffer · 02-20-2012, 09:16 PM

Hi !
I need some help there, if someone has connections :

I am planning a trip around the western US for 2 months (August and September), visiting wild places, camping, meeting great people, all this stuff that happens while travelling on a bike !

For this, I will arrive by plane from France end of July 2012/beginning of August 2012.

I am looking for a bike to buy second hand or rent for AUGUST and SEPTEMBER 2012. Looking for anything cool, does not have to be an ADVBike :)

You can private message me if you know someone !!

Thanks all.

Keep it rocking.
