I dig the 2012 mayan forecast and must say I fully agree, I’m about to turn 39 and intend to be in the air on my way o/s for that.

I got your reply via horizons which led me to your site and must say I’m impressed, we have a similar need for adventure, and aversion to mortgage etc (I am settling my house right now so as soon as money in account I’m out of here).

I’m about to head to south america then to europe and asia after that, I’ve decided to not ship bikes but buy and sell as I go. I’m researching as much as poss online so gonna troll your site but if ya got time to give me any quick advice for south america it would be greatly appreciated.

good onya fella

It was nice to meet you and ride with you to the centre of the nation, not many people get to do that :) I had, as you know, intended to ride back up to Texas and go to New Orleans with you, but time and money ran out, oh well, better luck next time, maybe you can fly down here for a ride :)

I as always, will do my own thing, my own way, hopefully having fun along the way.

Cheers TS

Richard, it was a pleasure sharing some of your adventure with you in South Dakota. I have been following your ride ever since. Great stuff. In meeting you I decided you are a great human being in general. If more people traveled and shared themselves with others and spread some happiness maybe we (mankind) wouldn’t worry about the end of the world. Maybe we would just be content with living in the one we have.

Glad to see you are home and I can’t wait for the next installment.

Cheers!
The Tomcat

We are all dying from the moment we are born, so I intend to have some fun on the way, I would rather have memories of what I did, than non-memories of what I shoulda done!

Cheers TS \

Live life to the fullest, enjoy what you do and be happy. I have loved every minute of reading your travel diary and look forward to more.

You make some good points, but then so did a few others earlier :)

I will keep travelling when I can but will be dependant on myself and my planning, or lack of, to see me through.

Cheers TS

We are all envious of your adventure. Some of us need our jobs to raise our families or pay our debts etc. So we have many short adventures and rides. For me, raising children has been an epic adventure/journey.
I agree religion has caused trouble throughout the world, but agnostics have caused wars also. It’s just the nature of man to fight. It’s not the nature of God. It seems that you have a measure of love in your heart for your fellow man, yet you say you don’t believe in God. God has selfless holy outgoing love for us, but does not force anything on anyone.

Those “great theologians” and “prophets” who are saying 2012 is the climax, will be proved wrong in early 2013. God will not be outsmarted by man. When man reacts violently to opposing doctrines or religions, it’s because he idolizes his religion. Idols are false gods, and the world and churches are full of them. That’s why I can say 2012 is not the end because God will judge the religions, and churches, well before He judges the world.

The Jews say they are God’s chosen race yet they hate and kill their neighbours and teach their children to despise them. That is going to take more than 19 months to sort out. If the world saw them loving their neighbours in a caring gentle manner, then we might believe that God is with them, because that would be a dynamic miraculous turnaround.

Many will keep praying that you have a safe journey, including your mum I bet, and we look forward to the next edition of your journal. Victor

The Mayans believed that in the last five years of each “age”, severe climatic upheavals occurred,caused by the planet’s “re-aligning” itself. The ongoing severe weather conditions globally since 2008 would seem to bear this out with floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis caused by the shifting of tectonic plates of a never before seen magnitude. (Think Katrina, Bandah Aceh, the Turkish Chinese Haitian and Chilean quakes.) The recent earthquake off Chile was so powerful it knocked the Earth off its axis by six millimetres, something never recorded before. If the ancients are correct, the planet is winding up for its once every twenty five thousand years climax, and we’ll be in for many more intense and severely damaging weather occurences as we approach 2012. As I write this, Queensland is suffering through its worst flooding in over a century, and Melbourne had a hail storm of unbelieveable ferocity three days ago resulting in tremendous property damage. Coincidence?

My beliefs are mine and I won’t force them on anyone else, but I will ear bash them a bit ;)

Cheers TS
