Facing The Sun

Well better late than never. I finally finished writing and laying out the travelogue for the epic, round the world, motorcycle trip that myself, Michael Winn and Nicky Stix took in 2016 on KLR 650's. Life threw me several curveballs that delayed me being able to focus but the pandemic gave me the time to organize the voluminous photos and videos and write about the whole experience. It's a rather long read but I'd love to hear your thoughts and I hope it inspires you all to get out of your comfort zones and challenge your fears like this trip forced us to do.

We made it to the east coast and to my (Tim's) traditional family vacation at Fenwick Island DE. This has been the goal the whole trip and from the start the motorcycle trip was just a way of avoiding air travel during COVID to make it to this special place. Ironically We're both traveling back to LA via airplane due to issues with our motorcycles (damn KTM!) This journey from the start has shifted from it's original intent due to motorcycle issues, injuries and as a final "f # you" I lost the thumb drive that had all the helmet can footage for just about the whole trip at our last stop in Virginia. These things never go as planned. That's why they call it "adventure motorcycling"

Loose gravel/steep incline/on a curve/. Bike kicked out from under me as I apparently missed my shift. Left thumb laceration at distal tip and TTP at MCP joint. Shout out to my tennis pals Samantha PK and Doctor G for their virtual medical assistance! Riding pavement for a few days to give it a rest. @ Conway, Arkansas
