So welcome to my new blog... This is where I will document the greatest motorcycle adventure ever attempted by a human being. Sort of.
My plan is to ride my motorcycle, a 2008 BMW 1200gs, from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, then south through Mexico, to Panama, to Colombia (crossing the Darien Gap by ship), through Peru and Bolivia, and finally through Argentina to Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Patagonia. I expect this whole journey to take approximately one and a half years... So I'll arrive in Ushuaia sometime around December 2013. Once that's done, I'll take the bike back north to Brazil and hang out until the 2014 World Cup begins. Yes, I am serious.
Today I am writing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have been on the road for a little over one week. Allow me to recap what's happened so far...
I departed from home in Lancaster, PA on Sunday, July 8th, 2012. Here is the bike loaded up, sitting in my dad's driveway:
Here's me on the bike, ready to roll out:

And here's my dad on his Harley, giving me an escort as far as Harrisburg, PA (which was awesome):
