Just a quick few words about the bikes on the trip. Both of them worked great except the 250 just ran out of power at really high altitude and other than that it worked great for her. Super reliable, used no oil, not a single flat, and did it on one set of tires (Dunlop D606's on the front and Mitas E09's on the back).
The hard days really stack up after a while though! Good meals and plenty of sleep I think helped a lot as well.....and plenty of Tylenol to keeps the aches at bay. We just got in a routine with everything we did which made sure everything got checked, charged, cleaned, and prepped for the next day. Then every morning we would fuel up and check tires and adjust pressures as necessary for the days riding. Good, hard, fun, and interesting trip!
