Ride On – Moto Raid II
In 2013, Keith Thye and Dave Yaden set out once again for South America on a pair of BMW motorcycles, basically recreating the trip they had undertaken 50 years before. This time, there were six riders, and the trip was 100 days and 16,000 miles in duration. Now being 70 years of age, the trip was made in a more accommodating style, with hotels instead of a tent, restaurant meals instead of cans of beans over an open fire, and communications that were instantaneous instead of weeks or months long.
Ride On – Moto Raid II details the experiences encountered on this second trip and compares many sites and experiences from the first trip. The roads, communications, and bikes had improved immensely, but the countryside and people were much the same. This book once again captures the historical and comical nature of adventure travel on a motorcycle through Central and South America in the modern age. “First in 1963 and 50 years later, Keith, you offered me the chance to ride with you on these crazy adventures to South America on a motorcycle. Crazy they were — crazy fun, crazy hard at times, and crazy memorable. How many people at age 70 get a chance to relive their wildest adventure from when they were 20?” |
