That is Very inspiring Borivoje ! I want task if the tour you're planning is a timed race ? or just an excellent long distance tour that you can go at the speed you prefer ?
Welcome to the forum ! If I was in the right place in my life right now..I would like to be going on that RIDE .
Again Welcome Borivoje

Thank you , this ride means traversing northest inhabitant point Alaska to southest in Argentina for shortest periods of time on same motorcycle. Current unofficial record is held bay Richard Dick Fish. Only official Guinis record is 34 days and some houres from 2003. Dick make his record in 2006. Allmost same time as David Gruelski make his 27 days record that stand only 10 days. Dick made it for amaizing 21 day and few houres!

That race is going through small towns ? or is it only on smooth large roads ?
I do hope that you are able to ride the route back to the original starting point from the finish line some day and then take as much time as possible to "tour" the countries and "take in" the surrounding countryside with your long range vision ! To possibly meet some of the people..,if they are friendly

This is not a race, as I see it, it is a personal chalange. I thing about doing this, for ten years now. After I complete this task , then I can think about touring. Organizing something like this from Serbia consider all kind of logistic, paperwork and financial nightmares..Actively working on this for two years, and still not 100% sure what will happened after all. Dont want to improvise too much this time..Thank U 4 yuor suopport!

buca,
You will have special permits to travel through the different countries to show to the customs officials at the border crossings.I wondered if those same visa/border permits will allow you to do the return trip back again ? How will you be returning from your long high speed journey ? Comfortably..on your CB650 I hope

I will send motorcycle to Fairbanks Alaska by plane, than transport it with truck to starting poin at Prudhoe Bay.
After I get , hopefully , Ushuaia at the end of Pan American Hwy, will ride north to Buenos Aires and put bike on boat back to Europe and I will fly home. That is the plan...

buca,
I see the last photo you posted that says "26 days"..,is that your own personal goal for this time trial adventure journey ??
I notice the "Latin America Tour 2009" on the 1980's Honda CB450 photo that you also posted(how did your balancer chain hold up for you on that ride ?)and wanted to hear from you about that completed tour...;please tell us more about your different Adventures.This is VERY INSPIRING to hear about because (my own personal quote)..."The Journey is my home"

By that I mean I like traveling and meeting new people in different places;every place w/ those new people has a different "Reality"..if you will...,which is NOT at all boring

!
How many of these Time Trial Journeys have you already been part of in the past? have you always enjoyed very long rides on motorcycles ?

buca · « **Reply #8011 on:** May 09, 2012, 08:01:14 AM »

Yes it is personal challenge , but I will ride same route as Guinness record ride, that is 34 days official,from 2003. and 27 days unofficial from 2006. Same year late Richard Dick Fish made it for 21 day 8 h, but using slightly different route in Columbia. This is mine first real marathon. I made many trips round Europe and Balkan on old post war, German small capacity bikes , like Bmw R 25 1951. and Nsu Max 250 1955. and 1969. MZ 175cc two stroke. 1000 km per day was like every day in the office.
My CB 400 N that I tour in South America, with in 2009. have 175000 km on tacho. And still working perfectly and 100% reliable . Change two timing chains and one balancer chain. Nothing else. Brake rotors are first ones, like wheel berings too. Have some racing experience with classic bikes and sidecars.
Thank u 4 support!

I understand how to ride long distances on small capacity machines,I've ridden many miles on a few Honda CB100/125 machines,CB350 twin & RD350.To ride on the footpegs saves your hind quarters

.The CB650 will be a little better on bumpy road surfaces w/ it's extra weight and more comfortable seat & ergonomics.

I am sure that CB 650 is right choice for marathon ride on all kind of road and weather conditions. Btw, I like to travell on light old motorcycle. MZ es 175 or 250 two stroke is a perfect touring bike!

Long time since I seen one of those. Is that the 2009 model?
