I posted this on the Floribama Riders list-serve earlier today. Any Bama Rides Takers??: Ive never been to South America. So.. I found a motorcycle guide/rental company in Cusco that does daily trips up to Machu Picchu. Cost is $500 for one bike $400 for 2 bikes $338 for 4 bikes. They give you a helmet and goggles. does not include gas or hotel (they tell me hotels range from $10-$50). It is a 3 day off road motorcycle trip. An english speaking guide goes with. Round trip tickets from ATL to Cusco are going for $1250 today on hotwire.com. Peru moto tours picks up at the cusco airport then what I dont know. We will not need any special visas to enter Peru. Only a valid Passport and proof of a return air ticket. Here is the Tour companies web site: http://www.perumototours.com/cuscoperu-en/0314-machupicchu.phpI am aiming at but have not committed the dates of Aug 20 - 25 would be nice to have someone go with. If Interested please e mail me within the next few days. If anyone is on the fence about the dates send me an e-mail as soon as possible and we can figure something out.       |

He is off the grid now. Gonna live off the land. Trapping his food, burrring into the ground for shelter, eating berries for breakfast, and crapping in the woods.

My wife is going to visit her family for 2 months so Im doing this. Its a good time to do it. The economy has kicked the airlines in the balls so airfares are as low as they are ever going to get. the more people go the cheaper the bike rental and the drunker we can get without being robbed  |

The expedited processing and shipping was like $200. I don't understand. Why is this happening? I will probably have a passport by next year.  |

Will do. I talked to my friend today that said he got his passport in about a week. So that gives me some hope. Maybe you could throw a quarter in some water.. Quarters are better than penny's. |

D, I am so jealous. Machu Picchu is high on my list of places to visit. You're in for a trip of a lifetime. I wish I could go, have fun and we'll have to sit down for story time when you get back. I know you'll have plenty.
