Hi
Thanks for the info. Just arrived in Manaus so I doubt I will be able to make the sailing tomorrow (only have a bike so expect there will be other options (I hope). sorry to have missed you Cheers Kevin |
Just for reference if anyone is coming to Manaus looking for tyres.
I tried to get a new front for my GS1200. i would have liked a TKC80 but didn't expect to gind one. I tried several places (mentioned in other threads. Very helpful but couldn't get what I wanted. They seemed to have every size but the one I wanted. I have gone with one slightly high on the profile. Anyway here is a contact L Marques Moto Precas, Av Desemb Joao Machado, 6342, Al Vorada, Manaus. They are on the way in to town so you may want to stop off on your way in. |

Took us 4 nights camping on the BR 319. Three days with an average speed of 15 km/hour average fuel consumption 8 km/liter Never used 4x4! We had one night of heavy rain. Road condition very easy. I would say you could even drive it in a VW combi. Some holes have to be taken in consideration other than that, a nice drive in the park. When it rains more than two days however, I take it, it would be a whole different ballgame. Adventurous greetings, Coen |
BR174 Boa Vista to Manaus
Hi,
Just finished this trip thought would add a few notes as I couldn't find a few answers to some questions I had when I looked. Date: Sept 11&12th 2012 Road: BR174 Boa Vista to Manaus Bike: Suzuki DR200 Tank 13.5 litres Road in good condition some potholes but none really deep. I did 500kms first day easy and 190ish next cruising 90-100km/hr No need for extra gas longest section maybe 150kms with plenty of gas stations all the way. The indigenous section you can't stop in was really pretty. I have come through from Guatemala and am heading south towards Rio/BA. If anyone has other questions about Venezuala etc. Cheers Simon |
