|
|
Hi, K11OG friends!
Here are me, my wife, Adriana, and a couple of friends, Anir and Alexandra, on a trip of some 2000miles to Ribeirão Preto, Passos, Capitólio and Poços de Caldas.
This trip was made last summer, in a very hot weather!
Here I'm standing next my old warrior, my KLT. A faithful one, indded.
And here is Anir, with his custom painted R1150GS. I can tall now that my KLT would override any R1150GS and most situations. That boxer can't run with the old Flying Brick...
Is that a rain could??
No, only sunny days here!
We rade quite light in the summer....
Adriana love the KLT ride. The best bike that I ever had, she tells!
In some unknow place.
Furnas dam, an hidrelectric mill.
The Furnas tubes...
The happy group.
Furnas lake.
Anir crossing the Furnas bridge.
Just pointing ahead.
Arrived to Poços de Caldas, a touristic city.
Hotel in Poços de Caldas.
Panoramic view around Poços.
In front of Pinguim brewery, a old alehouse.
Owstrich, I'll convince you someday to come to Brazil and take a ride with me! I have a spare bike to you....

Maybe....
Fittipaldi won 1989 and 1993, Castroneves 2001 and 2002, and de Ferran 2003.
I thing that exist a strong possibility Castroneves do it again!
I'll cross my fingers for he!
In time, Helio is the only driver to date to win in first and second races!! A great rookie! And one in 5 to win consecutive years.
Yeas, I'm a fan of "Spider-Man".

Gui-Just wanted to let you know that not only do I love your photos of bikes and great landscapes, but it's fun to show the pictures to my wife who knows where most of the stuff is in Brazil!
Keep the pictures coming! Love to see photos of Ks from around the globe, but especially a country as beautiful as Brazil.

Thanks for the kind words, OTG!
And when you come to Brazil again, please tell me and we could have a meet and ride around.
You will fell in home on my KLT. I'll go with my Springer.
And thanks for the gentle eulogy for Adriana.
