We are worried about Chris Crash. The last known location was Manizales, Columbia on September 11th, 2006. Has anyone seen Chris?

He is travelling on a Honda Transalp/Africa Twin. He is 6'2'' tall, likely shaved head [brown hair], Canadian boy - 220 lbs - 36 years old. Travelling alone.

His sister and Mom are very worried! Call home

Excellent - that's great timing too, I was just putting up a notice for the whole site.

For all you folks on the road - PLEASE DO keep in touch with home base on a regular basis to prevent panics like this!

Chris, a smack on the wrist with a wet noodle!

Thank You!
 
To everyone involved in helping us locate my brother Chris, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot express my relief and want to make sure you are all made aware that without your help and support, it would have been the most frightening experience of my life.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!!!

Stay in touch!!!!
 
Hey Everybody!

This is Chris.

I wanted to thank everyone for the rapid dissemination of information regarding my whereabouts, and to thank those that care about me.
After nine months on the road, it is easy to fall victim to the same location...to loose yourself in a place you enjoy....to rest...to fall off the grid for a while...and to postpone contacting the people that care about you.

I also wanted to apologize for my actions. I just want to remind others that you should not change you email patterns. I have come to realize that the adage NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS does not apply to us riders. Rather, NO ACTION IS BAD ACTION seems more fitting.

Safe riding to all,
Sincerely
Chris

There's a Colombian folk song that says "..no estaba muerto, andaba de parranda.."
