The chosen bike

many ask me why I chose the Suzuki DR 350 - It's light, has the speed I need, easy to fix, easy to lift in boats, handles well on rough roads, it's bullet proof. I've been extremely happy with this bike, with over 80 000 km still keeps me going. A bigger bike would sure be nice on major highways, but for me it's about taking the more remote roads as possible. And a bigger bike, also means more expensive to maintain. Once I got to Uruguay, I knew I would be riding the coast of Brasil north. With many surf spots along the way, a surfboard was mandatory. I created a rack to carry my board from Re-bar. Does the trick.
