Wednesday was a travel day back to Tucson. Like any big trip, the anticipation always there.

Stayed with my friends Wendy and Reed and had a great note from Reed as I did not see them before I left as I met with my Buddies, Dave, and Kris (Brad was out sick unfortunately) really early in the morning.

Then had coffee with the guys at Starbucks. (photo to be posted as soon as John emails it to me

) posted 10/22/11

Murray took me to the airport and the Adventure feels like it is back on. I arrive in Phoenix and meet up with Sam at the airport. We grab a shuttle down to my brothers house.

Again the ADV community is there for us. Skip and Cathy invite us to stay at their home and have dinner as they are right near Iron Horse BMW.

WOW just awesome!!

Cathy picked me and our gear up at my brothers, and took us back to their place, with a stop at the Bestbuy so that I could pick up a new Charger for my Mac (I left it up in Portland

).

We did this the first night we arrived in Tucson 3 weeks ago. De je vu.....

our gracious hosts

Skip cooked up a great meal again.

and we had a great evening conversing about riding, travel and life!

Thanks for everything!! '

Went to bed late.... but up early as my brain was thinking about my bike, getting all geared up and the details of getting into Mexico...

Got up early to repack some of my gear, catch up on email, and get ready.

Little did I know I would be greeted by "Ladybug" in the shower

She was smiling

Excitement about getting my bike back. They are just waiting on one part that arrives this AM, then we will be on our way!

More later

After a great evening at Skip and Cathy's home, we had some great coffee in the morning and headed over to Iron horse at 9am. Cathy was headed out for a dirt bike ride in her new "fancy Pants

" Klim riding pants. They were so new and clean.

At Iron Horse BMW, They we waiting on a new throttle body set to arrive this AM, then get it all finished up by around Noonish. That had been the plan from couple weeks ago. Anxious to get going, but they need the time to get the engine in correctly and then we would be off.

Old Engine sitting on the ground and new one in the bike.

The parts arrived while we were there

Had purchased a longer front brake line cross over at Touratech and was going to have them install if they had time. They were swamped so it was a wait and see.

Both Sam and I went through our gear and repacked. Took care of some details in town, and then waited for the call

We were getting hungry so Skip took us to his local hang out for a very good burger. Will be the last America Burger for sometime

and Sam was enjoying every bite!!

While I was out in the AM on Cathy's 800GS, I saw this huge globe. Had to stop for a photo or I would regret it

Right Here now in the "Tucson Triangle"

Headed south down here, and to the end of Argentina.

Then over to Africa.......

India, China, Mongolia and ?

About 2 PM they called and it was ready but they could not get to the brake line until later..... Decided to head over and get the bike, and do the brake like and fender raise at Skip and Cathy's. will talk about this more later, but they have been amazing generous Hosts and we have had a great time with them!!

Lots of paperwork that Jim needed to get done for the warranty stuff, and then I was out on the road riding

Engine sounds great!!! Just need to break it in properly on the way down into Mexico, do a 600 Mile oil change and enjoy the new engine.

Skip and then Sam jumped in to help me install the new longer brake line, and the adjustment to the front fender position. By 4:30 we were done, and my bike was packed. Sam had waited patiently

We rode the 120 miles south to Douglas, Az where we will cross the Border into Mexico in the morning!!

Time for me to get some sleep before our long awaited crossing into Mexico and the next part of this adventure!!
