I know I'm raising this one from the long dead, but somebody PM'd me about the trip. Long story short, I did it. I had zero problems. I made new friends and experienced hundreds of different cultures. I got invited lots of cool places, learned a lot about how international politics...

In Panama City they call them Diablos Rojos, and they are by far the most entertaining way to navigate the city. I was on one that crashed into another during rush hour. The police happened to see so both drivers stopped and the passengers disembarked. I was amused to see that both drivers...

Boy am I glad to hear from a Tico! Which part of CR are you living in? I'll swing by when I'm in the area. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and Ticos are a very friendly bunch. I've felt safer in San Jose at 2:00 AM then in Colon at noon. I'm aware of the high fuel prices, but spending...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I am planning on painting it a solid nonmilitary color before I leave. A small investment in rattle cans will probably pay off in headache aversion. She can return to OD when I return. Customs officials are welcome to scrutinize my vehicle if they recognize it...

Hi all, I've been traveling Central America for a few months now and everywhere I go I realize just how much I'd prefer to be driving either my deuce or my motorcycle instead of a Daewoo rental. The roads and trails down here are too good to pass up. Therefore I'd like to go back to the US...

I saw it as a sleepy little island where not much happens. Of course, I got there in the off season the day before a hurricane was scheduled to arrive, so my perspective is probably skewed. The residents I talked to told me that it's a popular spot for college kids on spring break, and one of...

I'm surprised that I neglected to post this here. Mea Culpa. This is a write up about my drive across America taken a few months back. I was in no hurry so I took the scenic route and had many interesting adventures. Enjoy! Pursuing Autonomy: Deuce across America

Near the end of a 2500 mile road trip, my deuce developed a fuel leak. Something like that would cripple a lesser vehicle, but I fixed it at a gas station with electrical tape and completed my journey. When I got home, I fixed it properly with $15.00 worth of stuff from Home Depot. Modern...

I'm in New Mexico. That particular dune is by 98th ave on I40. You can see the interstate in one of the cab shots. She does pretty well in the sand, but when it gets really deep she has a tendency to want to go sideways. This is especially true when going downhill. Tires were at 15PSI rear...

I had a day off and decided to go play on some sand dunes. Excuse the terrible autofocusing, as the video was taken with a still camera that just so happens to shoot video as well. Apparently, it does neither very well.

I've found that using this method is the best way to search any website. A lot of websites use Google custom search anyways, so why not go directly to the source? It's also useful if you're interested in searching a forum that you haven't joined. A lot of webmasters will lock up the search...

Great! Sent them an email. Turns out their next meeting is in 2 days. It'll be nice to meet some like minded locals. Thanks for the info.

I'm located in Rio Rancho, on the very northern edge of Albuquerque. Any local groups I should get in contact with?

I bought it from FMJ and picked it up in Las Cruces, NM.

I just bought a deuce recently and drove it 300 miles home. Here's a few suggestions: The first thing I wish I'd have researched is how full to fill the gas tank. I left the truck running so that I could see the gauge. However, to completely fill the tank you're going to need to hold the...
