It just occurred to me that if I walked out my front door, mounted one of my bikes, and turned left -- and rode 10,000 miles -- I'd be at Tierra Del Fuego, Cape Horn, the Southern Tip of the continent, admid the screaming winds of Patagonia.
Holey Moley...... now what to do with this startling revelation............?

For one awful moment I thought you were going to be talking about the Book of Revelations....
Set off, but maybe not on the Goldwing

No, not the Big Red Fattie.........
the CB750 could do it, however..... new chain, new sprockets, tyres..... new tankbag, whatever.....
what to do with the Wifie...... she saves the world during that time, the time I'd have to ride, saves it one little kid after another...... could I stand being away from her for four, five months?

| Wrong question, that should read : Could she stand being apart from you? If she says yes, get gone asap!

Yeah, I know..... looks like a feckin' bowling team, right?
The problem is.... we only buy discount gear, and usually the discount gear is all the same color (colour)! It's a bitch to be poor, ain't it?

If you do it, you have a place to stop in the Sacramento area.

It's called complimenting each other..... nothing worse than a bloke standing next to you ruining your look by clashing with you

Hi, Chiara.... thanks for the offer, may take you up on it someday. Trying to save up some coin to buy Red a new jacket!
Another question: have you ridden in Mexico, Central America? Any suggestions if you have?

No, never, sorry. Definitely ask on the advrider site if you want to ride south of the border. Or even hit up Dan Walsh with a pm.
