So here we go with some of our misadventures......
- Chris rode out of a gas station in Southern Mexico with his coat on top of his load and not tied down. A truck behind Lori ran over it as she pulled oper to retrieve it, and in one fell swoop, the truck crushed his digital camera, sunglasses, reading glasses and walkie talkie. (Now hows that for efficiency?)
- We rode bad roads outside of Panajachel, Guatemala (around the lake and up the mountain)..... we are talking steep day! The longest 100kms ever..... Even shattered her windshield for good - thank you for duct tape.... She really look like a rolling wreck now.
- Lori still had problems kick starting her bike - could do it, just not consistently, but then she managed to snap the decompression release cable so now can almost never start it (at least a good excuse for Chris to have to do it-poor guy!)
- Chris dumps his camera and lens overboard from a kayak in a mangrove swamp on the Bay Islands in Honduras (not funny was the epic trying to replace everything)
- Lori gets stopped twice in a row by the same police officer at the same police check in Nicaragua (once coming and once going) and the second time couldn't find a flat enough spot to put up the stand and dumps the bike on its side (for about the 20th time this trip) This time the police only asked for her insurance - probably figured she was going to need it.....
