PROJECT: MotoNomadas-Explorando el Sur

WHAT IS IT: This project was born as a result of the desire to live our lives to the maximum, taking advantage of we are still alive, young and healthy. So, because of this, we have decided to embark ourselves in one of the greatest adventures of our lives....CROSS PART OF THE WORLD ON MOTORCYCLE!!!
WHO: The team is composed by 4 members:

1) Efrain Martinez is in charge of riding and maintaining in good shape members 3 and 4

2) Ileana La Torre is in charge of the photography, part of the navigation, and maintenance of the website

3) Morcega, our 2007 Suzuki DL1000, is going to haul us along all the miles which we are going to be crossing

4) Morceguinho, our CSM side-car, is in charge to load the majority of our equipment besides of being in charge of the security and comfort of Ileana

WHEN: The plan is to leave Charleston SC, USA in November 2010 and return whenever we have to.

WHERE: As everything is going to go well, we hoped to be visiting the 21 countries that conform Central and the South America.

WHY: Besides wanting to have the chance to get to know other cultures, people, places and experience new adventures; we decided "why not" make our motorcycle adventure a fundraising campaign to help the Bruce Organisation in the fulfillment of its objectives to help to educate street kids and eradicate poverty in Latin America.

We are doing a fundrainsing through our website MotoNomadas - Home and by selling MotoNomadas T-shirts. All the money collected will be used to buy basic school supplies needed in the centers located in different points throughout Central and South America.

The route of this trip will be drawn up with the purpose of to be able to visit and give your contributions in person to these children who have true needs.

Cool Rig !

I am going to suggest you carry a clutch slave cylinder for the Vstrom.

It was the *only* part on my DL1000 which failed on my 20,000+ mile ride from Colorado to S. America.

I'd also get an ethanol tolerant fuel filter if you plan on hitting Brazil. Most of the plastic ones will melt in the ethanol.

Have Fun !!
