Texas Kawasaki KLR650 does 132 000 km in 503DAYS :lol8: LEES EN PRESTEER NE...
When 26-year-old Alex Chacon finished his medical science degree he celebrated by selling everything he owned except his Kawasaki KLR650, and riding from El Paso to the southernmost point of South America. That done, he then rode it all the way  to Alaska before getting back into the saddle to make his way home.

The New York Daily News Website reports that he made a video along the way and raised money for charity..

The title of the video, The Modern Motorcycle Diaries, is a reference to the book witten by another medical student, Che Guevara, who rode part way around South America in the '50s on an ancient British Triumph, but left the bike behind after a short while because it kept breaking down.

If he'd bought a KLR he'd have finished the ride on two wheels and arrived home in a better mood!
