The Start

Here it goes --- I finally got the blog running for Woodstock. It is time to start the blog of Woody's great adventures to Tierra del Fuego by KTM motorcycle. It began on Sunday, December 28, 2008, just two men and their bikes; the end date is unknown; the course is unknown; but the lessons are certain to last a lifetime.

He is on his own now, traveling somewhere into Panama, we hope, although suspiciously the Spot has not sent a signal since the third...today, I got my first Aerostich catalogue and realized that I am now officially a motorcycle junkie if not by my blood, then by my brother's.

This will serve as a simple and hopefully entertaining way of staying in touch with Woody, his progress south (and back north again), see photos and give him words of advice and support, remind him that the journey is worth the pain, but that nothing can ever surpass the North Shore for stoic beauty and quiet courage. Bless my little brother, the wandering soul with big dreams and the gumption to follow them.
