    My Friends Cross-Amazon Expedition

    Hey fellas, the following was not exactly a New England ride however I thought I share anyway. My friends went into a cross country trip through the Amazon forest. They crossed deserts, planes, rain forest and a bit of treacherous roads. They crossed 10,000 KM by motorcycle and one of the legs of the trip was 600km long in the middle of the jungle.

    My friends' girlfriend got a flat tire in the middle of the 600km leg and she had to finish the remainder 70+ KM with a flat tire.

    Here is their blog: http://www.viajantesdareal.com.br/20...-gomes-26.html

    Personally, I it is too long of a trip for me, however, I admire their enthusiasm. These kids want to do another expedition throughout the rest of South America.

    Sorry man. I thought I'd answered your question. Other than the cost of the motorcycles and prep work, as I recall it cost them about BRL 3,500 (USD 2,000) each.

    I'd agree. I suppose that crossing the Amazon is the most treacherous part:
