Departing my home in Staten Island, New York City, after waiting for two year for my new adventure on two wheelsI actually went to school for a quick meeting. I am now officially on my way to the West Coast with a quick stop in Syracuse that nightMy friend Atahualpa and I. We studied together high school in Venezuela and now he lives in Syracuse, NY.Wow! I'm in Canada! This is actually a faster way to get from Buffalo, NY, to Detroit, MI.Niagara falls from the Canadian sideNiagara Falls on the Canadian sideMy friend Mica and his wife Christine in Detroit. I bought my first bike from himCrossing from Michigan to IllinoisPassing through ChicagoArriving to Wisconsin. Not the best place for a lactose intolerance person Crossing the Mississippi river in MinesotaThe Corn Palace, the single most exciting attraction in east South Dakota. Where was Walt Disney when this happened?My bike broke down equidistant to the two major towns in South Dakota, Rapid City and Sioux Falls. As a BMWMO member put it, I wasn't in the middle of nowhere, as I thought, but from where I was standing "I could see it!". Almost four hours, 200 miles, and $400 later I found the closest BMW dealership in Sturgis, SD.I visited Mount Rushmore right after I left the BMW shop with my new $450 alternator and diode board.Leaving South Dakota. It is a beautiful place but I needed to get to Seatle, ideally by the following day. Problem is that I was 1,300 miles away from the Pacific Coast and my girlfriend arrived to Seattle from Miami that day to meet meCrossing the border between South Dakota and Wyoming

Crossing to Montana from Wyoming at 7:00 am. I was 1,000 from Seattle and I was determined to make it that same day...and I didThe border between Montana and Wyoming. This is mid-August and it was 38F at 7:00 am...amazingI expect to see potatoes everywhere...Close to Spokane, WA, checking out the Columbia river
