Last month we introduced you to Erin and Chris Ratay.
This adventure seeking couple spent several years in one of the ultimate tests of endurance-- going around the world on a motorcycle.
You can meet them HERE and listen to the podcast.
These adventure riders and local Boulder Realtors didn't let the grass grow for too long under their feet.
This weekend they packed up a new motorcycle and flew to Chile to begin another adventure.
If you want to follow their travels you can do so HERE.
But here's just a preview from their blog of what it took to get ready to ride again:
"It took most of the day, but with the help of our friends Paul and Jon, we got the bike onto a Honda crate that was donated by a local bike shop.
The sides and top were added, along with some additional struts for added support. But first, we had to:
- Remove most of the fuel
- Remove the battery (attached to pallet)
- Remove front wheel
- Remove panniers
- Remove windshield
- Remove mirrors
- Remove rear rack
- Unbolt handlebars (too wide)
- Pack as much as possible into the crate"
My oldest friend, Jens, has worked for Lufthansa cargo for over 20 years and is helping us get a great deal. However, the bike will go to more countries than we will. It will go by truck to Chicago, then fly to Frankfurt (Germany), Sao Paulo (Brazil), and finally to Santiago de Chile.
