Dries 0 Posted June 15, 2017 Hey, I'm Dries Van Loon (31) I live in San Diego since the beginning of this year. I met, I think Eric (WR450) and his wife (other bike) on a trail down cottonwood couple weeks ago Sunday. He mention the forum.. I currently have 2x DR650, one for me one for my friends who come and ride.. Did the TransAmerica trail (Philly to San Diego (where I live now) last year with a friend, what a blast and great way to see this country. 5 years ago, I drove my Africa Twin (RD04, 1991) from Belgium to Thailand (20.000 miles 5 month epic trip). On the same Michelin rear tire all the way by the way.. Currently trying to take every opportunity to explore the greater california area (Baja, Nevada, Arizona, ...) on my DR, and slowly preparing to do the alaska - patagonia.. Looking forward to be part of the SD riders community.. Dries Some impressions of my trips, warning I'm not a great photographer, and I the fanciest camera I own is my phone: https://youtu.be/oDBvYHX6IV0 https://youtu.be/efOhiq_n_-E https://youtu.be/X0d7TkJhvZk https://youtu.be/HmKvRAje2og https://youtu.be/TRMn6qMGOh8 https://youtu.be/oFkApVx0W5o https://youtu.be/0c8efUS14p8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted June 15, 2017 That's really cool. It's funny how some of the places around the world look just like Borrego and other routes within about 200 miles of here. No disrespect, those are some hard earned miles and very impressive. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 508 Posted July 1, 2017 Dries, welcome to our community. I'd love to meet u for a beer and talk about your plans. My dog and I are headed to into Mexico and South America soon, then the rest of the world. Maybe we'll meet on the road also. We'll be in MX for at least 6 months, in Central and South America at least another year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
