11 degrees Celsius is 51.8 degree Fahrenheit. It’s summer here. That’s why we are here in February.

Kevin, thanks for the input on my loss of power at 4K, then 3K and now around 2K! I got several venting recommendations to check my fuel tank vent. At both dealers the vent was checked (both on the bike and off the bike). With the tank on the bike, I can blow air easily and it can be heard at the gas cap. I have even ridden for 30-min with the gas cap open to see if it is a venting issue. No Joy!
We hare having fun anyhow. Somehow at 45 MPH we rode almost 400 miles Friday, Feb 25.

Wow, what can one say? You guys are my heroes. Be safe and report on the way back. We want to see if Dean’s Curse extend to ships.
Thanks for the ride!

Congrats again!!

Dean, Could it be fuel venting… rather a lack of venting. I’m thinking a vacuum is developing in your fuel system and starving the engine at higher RPMs.

For being only 11° there it doesn’t look cold. Now in Michigan there would be snow, and more snow…
Congrats on reaching your goal and taking us along for the ride. It was a great journey and you are more adventuresome than I would ever be. Hope to see you soon in LA.

I’m back in the saddle again in Ferntucky (with a level 4 snow blizzard bearing down on the Casa) so I can better see the pictures and appreciate the last few posts.

All I can say is WOW! You guys Rock! Dean, you can break my dishes, Lisa – you can have YOUR room anytime you like. I am so proud to hijack your story with my friends and family and pretend I could do something like this!!!

Now be extra careful coming back – we want big pieces back here at the home front.

Way to cool guys. It’s been fun following along, and I’m damn sure I don’t want to ride Central America ~ I wouldn’t have dealt with the Banditos as well as you guys.
deano, can’t wait to see you when you get back, and I’ll have to come over and figure out what the heck is wrong with that Suzi
