Round the world on a KLR that wheelies!!!
 
Ready set go,

actually it took a little longer, 3 years in the making, so lets go back to how it all started



I was diagnosed with a very painful immune disease, and work told me sorry not sorry...



So as it usually turns out for us who like riding and travelling, I set off on this long journey after getting the bug from fellow KLR Adv rider RIP Benjava and some other crazies like nixels and Larry boy



Here is a way to help and raise awareness for this thing I have that sucks

http://www.gofundme.com/renaudcharrin

Looking to raise awareness about this terrible immune systems disease that wrecked my life for three years when all the doctors misdiagnosed me with appendix burst, colon cancer, and all the other stuff they threw at me, colonoscopy and biopsy, ER stays etc...10 k bill in result of last hospital visit, insane

all proceeds will be sent here:

http://www.aboutibs.org/

I also want to thank people helping me out, and industry leaders reaching out

Dirtbag challenge

Round the world on a KLR that wheelies!!!
 
But let's go back to how it all started

France, my dad is an avid motorcycle rider, put me on the back of his bike when i was a kid and we rode together around Paris for years. Felt like I had the coolest dad, and I did.

I watched him take off numerous time on his yamaha super tenere, he introduced me to dakar rally, and put me on a dirtbike when i was a little kid, so thanks dad!

Got the tech bug and hardware bug from ya, and the best bug, the moto bug.

He then went on to ride to africa and rode with his friends through Maroc.



best pics ive ever seen.

He then got tboned in paris, place de la concorde by a red light runner, and that was the end of his motorcycle career, but mine had just started



fast forward to my learner permit and the first bike, wait my first bike was a ducati 900 monster and I had NO PERMIT....lmao pops was furious i did that

Ran a few motorcycle shops in san francisco, started my own rental and touring company in partner with eagle rider, and started to hangout with the riffraff at BARF and ADVRIDER.

Met My best bud BenJava Ben on his way back from alaska and hired him as a mechanic, he taught me to this day everything i know, how to change a motorcycle tire in the hot desert sun of deathvalley, what to pack and what to think i need, not what i want.
We ride to the top of the whit mountain and 14k+ft, ADV trips and other fun times will be remmebered forever, thanks for introducing me to this beautiful world man

true adv style, RIP Benjava, Ben passed away on a motorcycle accident at the top of hwy 108, a ride we always did together after the snow melt

This is how the idea of the trip came to life, always wanted to do it, thought I needed more time and more finances, and was thinking i was gonna be 50 by the time i could go and do this, then something happened.

My business partner for route 66 motos tells me he just got a brand new BMW GS adventure to go on his RTW and wants ME to go with him!!! Yeeeehaw! LEt’s go.


http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...1edd6d36b1.jpg



Meet Steffek, he was one of our first clients at route66motos, and we partnered with EagleRider to get him and his bud from Poland on two harleys to go travel the US.


Steffek flew from Poland with a gift to me, an MC vest from his local club in Poland, and was the nicest guy i have ever seen, we clicked right away and after meeting him at eaglerider, picked up the bike, helped with hotel accomodations and route, we gave him a tour of san francisco, the local attractions and went down to dudley perkins harley davidson, the oldest dealership in the world.


A great friendship was started.


Steffek got his bike, now it's time to go find mine, using my motorcycle industry network, I started to think about what i wanted, but wait man, “all you need is a KLR man”


For those in the know, that was Ben;s to go phrase, avid Klr rider, and the first guy to let me ride one, I also fell in love with it.


SO there i go to dealer auctions and find a perfect bike,

Great photos, thanks for taking the time to share.
If the bulb and grips went out at the same time there might be a short somewhere.
How are you liking the Tusk panniers? Looks like you went down with them, how did they hold up?

Hey Mac,
yeah man, i was thinking those were put on by the previous owner, so who knows, electricals and shorts are no fun to troubleshoot, but i fixed the lights for now, and its hot again in texas/louisinna/florida where im going next , so no need for the grips yet.

I'm debating the panniers decision, always had Wolfman setups before, and they were light but couldn't lock anything.

the rack is heavy as S---, the panniers are light, but like you said you can overpack real fast

I now have to work on the shock because the bike sags so much with the weight, the locking feature is good, and being able to walk away with the panniers and things safe is good.

I didn't drop them yet, so i don't know how they would hold up

one lock fell out while riding....sooo i don't know man, for $300 dealer cost, its still a good bargain
beer more money for beer

I've been looking at shocks options= too much money i dont have, different springs, and even a raising link wich for $30 i got first , to see if it'll help, knowing that this is the worst way to go and not the proper way. Money goes a long way when you dont have any lmao

So tire is ****ed, I think, and im still needing to make it to SF by the evening to attend the dirtbag challenge,a biker build-off contest my friend Poll throws every year for the past 10+
build a bike with $1000-$2000 in 30 days, ride it, bring it back to the party and mayhem follows, with punk bands playing, always fun

the slab was slow, 55mph thinking that tire is going to explode, but I make it, and make it to dirtbag challenge even before everyone else

The bikers are here, from the mad dogs, eastbayrats san francisco motorcycle clubs to hells angels, all the riff raff is now partying all together, and the dirtbags are having a blast

the police is keeping an eye on the party from the sky, and a couple of SFPD cars do a drive by through the lines of motorcycles

The night is fun, everybody is drunk and high on motorcycle burnout fumes and exhaust, coolant is draining all over the street along with gasoline.
the punk band is playing hard, time to mosh shit up

Having all this down time waiting for the tire is great because i get to see all my friends, attend the world famous san francisco motorcycle club new president election by its club members

SFMC is the oldest mc, the harley was out by 1903 and by 1904 SFMC was created, go check it out if you can, the club house and welcoming atmosphere and members are amazing

The riding in Northern california is amazing and I miss it a lot, time to ride down memory lane, grizzly peak road, redwood road and all the eastbay hills.

If you ever get a chance, def do a fly and ride if you can to SFO , pick up a moto at eagle rider and go ride around for 24hrs you cant beat this, PCH, redwoods, twisty roads, and good pavement!

When are you going to another country and starting your RTW?

What happened to the report?
 
Following right along then it ends abruptly. Did I miss something?
