Caught By The Wolves In Phoenix
 

Couldn't believe it, was out on a ride around Phoenix, was riding down the road minding my own business ..... the DR swerved all by itself into a back street and turned into a carpark.

Not sure what to do I went into the shop..... turns out it was Zen Motocycle :D ZEN MOTO: Mechanical Piece of Mind

So with Dillons help he sorted us out for luggage for Maya

1 x Wolfman Large Duffle

2 x Wolfman Tank Panniers

1 x Wolfman Tank bag

Also picked up screen, bars and front guard so came away with everything we needed.

So with our new setup on Maya we are running full Wolfman soft luggage setup complete.

These are them.

Maya comes with the two Wolfman Expedition rear panniers and a Giant Loop Coyote bag, we won't be using the Giant Loop Coyote Bag so that will be up for sale.

Can't speak highly enough dealing with Dillon at Zen, free plug for a good man.

GIve him a call or email as he can sort you out for pretty much anything.

Now we just need Maya to turn up !!!!:clap

Heya Nigel

Based on that we will be able to enter a weight lifting contest shortly :eek3:

All good now, hopefully take delivery of Maya soon.

ok i'll bite.
 

Where did the name maya come from?so what's to become of the other bikes?Are you sure you'll both fit on that bike?:D

Maya, a strong lady, based in Mexico and the Mayan people.

Our turning point of our trip was in Mexico thus we are now riding a strong lady (cos I don't ride boys) :innocent:.

Both bikes have been sold to new owners.

Both fit on Maya ... dunno yet ... hope so cos we will be on her for another 18 months ish :clap:

Maya arrived yesterday!
 

Just got a call from the trucking company delivering Maya, the truck shat itself 2 miles from where we are

Waiting on another call to either pick her up or they may be getting another truck ... as Bevan said, if we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all

J u s t w a n t t o g e t h e r h e r e..........


She finally arrived ......sort of, she got within 2 miles of here then the truck shat itself and was towed 4o miles away :cry

So we chased across town to get her .... finally tracked her down.

Good clean tomorrow and sort out the stuff we do and don't wan't.

Feliz Navidad!

Grif & Lisa XX

Heya Noel

We bought it through an ad on ADV rider.

Merry Christmas to you you mate, I spent my Christmas day doing repair work to the KTM.

Cheers Andi

Heya Grif & Lisa, it is only about 12 -14 deg C here in Phoenix ... still a bit warmer than you though, dropping to 2 degs at night.

Good you bought Sammy in, you don't want her radiator to freeze eh :innocent:

That lovely KTM has a wee guts ache and is off to the shop tomorrow hopefully for only minor surgery but we won't know until the doctor opens her up ... not good :frown:

Hope your doing well
 

Hi from Panajachel. We are here until Jan 19. I hope we can still meet somewhere along the way. Cheers

Heya Sara

At this rate we won't be out of Phoenix until this time next week so we are miles behind, we got taken for a ride on the bike we bought so many hours of repairs and a fair stack of money.

Not good at all, from a fello ADVer as well, we were ripped. :thumbdown:

Your luck has to change in 2013, shit time, hope it all goes better from now, maybe catch you on the road
Gino & Fiona

Bastard!!
 

Aw that sucks!!!! As above 2013 is for sure is your lucky year.

Feliz Nuevo Ano

Sara

Hello Andi and Ellen.
I've been reading your entire ride report in advrider and about your bad luck with the KTM and the complete mess it's in. I can't believe a inmate would sell off a bike with such problems while advertising it as if it were in pristine condition. I hope you guys get it sorted out with the lease amount of cash outlay. And to you Ellen, sorry to read of your get-off in Mexico. At least you gave it your all. Tossing in the towel and going 2-up is a smart choice as the road ahead through Mexico and South America is dicey and could be more challenging to a novice rider.

Your Artic adventure was good reading as one day I hope to do the same.
