Like many others, envious of your adventure. Keep it up!!

Hello Tim,

The bike needed to be well cleaned prior to shipping into NZ, as they are very serious about "non Native species" coming into the country. If it has evidence of extra dirt and such, then can have it specially cleaned a billed to you.

Otherwise nothing else to be done. Just keep it on the left side of the road

That will be interesting ..... will need full attention for sure. I think week two will be the biggest challenge now!

I just realized I have seen two of the three International Friendship riders while on my ride...... Just one more to go

Hi Alex

I'm glad the two of you were able to spend a little time together and that you are doing well in NZ.

Mark,
Being able to see the International Riders again must be very special for you. Thank you for sharing with us those times.

Was that the year when the Spiral Fractures were in fashion?

Late into the game, but have enjoyed the first 15 pages immensely.

Two years of fantastic reading/riding ahead of me. Thanks for sharing Radioman. I hope the trip was everything you wanted it to be. I will soon find out...

Nooooo!

I've killed too much time (at work) reading the first 46 pages

of "The Russians are Coming" already!! Now two others like it???

But seriously, Alex has just landed in SF (at the point I have reached) and it is amazing to see how it all came together. The generosity of all the ADV inmates, and you in particular Mark, is fantastic

I'm looking forward to reading his trip report and then starting in on the others. Like squiffynimrod said, thanks for posting these old links that I wouldn't normally find being new to the whole ADV thing.

Cool. You get it started and I would be honored to help in any way I can. The International Friendship program is one of the best things with ADV, that and Ride Reports, oh yeah and making some pretty great friends.

C-Stain · 02-22-2013, 05:05 AM

Thank you for posting up the links for CJ's ride! I've now lost an hour drinking coffee, looking at pictures and reading the report. I have like, 75 pages left.

A couple of things I noticed in this report, and it brought a smile to my face.

First:

That jacket was a LOT cleaner in 2007. Oh, the stories it could tell.

Also, there appears to be a LOT more Radioman back then... Could there be a new venture when you return? The "Mark Donham Radioman Diet Program"? Not for the faint of heart, but guaranteed results! Just look at Slowphil!

The last time I saw the inside of this Top Case, there were only two spots missing, which I understand have now been filled in. A Testament to you your Adventures, my friend.

Hoping that things are going great in NZ!

Hi Mike, Radioman is quite busy by riding around, we'll find time for ride together a bit later. It seems he is popular his first days in NZ, everyone wants to meet him ))

Just not to be with off-top message in this thread, here is another picture of our guy :-)))
