two mts1200s riding Equator bound

HI guys,

I thought I'd post this. These two guys left athens, ga mid-January and are headed to the equator on multis! One is part owner of NPR ducati.

Aventura awaits! Multistrada Pair Heading towards Equator… – NPR Ducati

I think they're in Guatemala now.

Chris

Thanks for posting that! Cool trip....I'm totally jealous.

So....it looks like they've set their bikes up for adventure, with one exception. Unless I'm just not seeing it right, it looks like they're using the stock hand guards with no other protection (i.e. BarkBusters, etc). One drop and they're gonna be toast w/ a busted lever or worse.....

Hope their trip goes well.
