2013 Travel Story 5/5

15 April

The world’s largest wind chime in Casey, Illinois.

18 April

Thanks to NPRDucati.com in Athens, Georgia, I quickly received a new chain and chain roller.
This chain will probably not last as long as the ‘original’ one from motorketting.nl but it should easily make it through the final 3 riding days to Key West!

20 April

"We made it into Florida!
If all goes well, I hope to reach the southernmost point of continental USA in Key West on Saturday afternoon."

21 April

"Since leaving the northernmost point of continental USA at Barrow in February, we traveled over the frozen Arctic Ocean, ice roads, gravel roads, snow- and ice-covered roads, through snow, wind, rain but also a lot of sun, through bitter cold and now very hot, towards the southernmost point of continental USA at Key West.

Mission completed!"

25 April

"Motorcycle enthusiasts Andy & Angie invited me to stay in their house in Homestead. In their backyard I build a pallet for the trailer – which became a sledge again – and the bike to ship it back to The Netherlands. After a hard day’s work the pool is waiting."

25 April

"Keek-a-boo"

27 April

"The sledge with the bike and travel gear inside sits on a pallet and is protected with cardboard which I wrapped in plastic foil.
The blue tarp is only for the transport on the road.
Andy who invited me to stay in his house is so kind to take halve a day of work to bring it to a warehouse in Miami. Thanks a lot Andy!
From here Mainport Forwarding will take care of it and bring it back to the Netherlands."

1 May

"Back home again.
For me the adventure is over but not for you all.
Soon Clymer will launch more videos of my ride on the Polar Ice!
