Just got back from a fantastic trip down the Eastern US to North Carolina, where I gave a presentation of my Cross-Canada to Panama trip at the Overland Rally Southeast.
I was able to meet lots of cool folks including Waterlilly of Dual Sport Plus, Dr Benny of MotorcycleMexico, and DrRock & LDF of the Mobius Trip.
I'm digging in to the photo post-processing now, lots of photos from the Rally, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Works Engineering in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Coney Island, Mount Washington and everything in-between.
Before all that goes up I'll post the interview of Margus and Kariina of "From Estonia with Love"
There's so much there I think it may be a two-parter!
Here is a quick preview of the US trip.

Welcome back! DO you ever get tired of the rattling on the KLR650 as you fly down the highway? I seriously need to upgrade F800GS or something.

Mt.Washington kicks ass. I've been up twice in my car but I want to go back on my bike.

Man the 401 Montreal to Toronto was BRUTAL! The KLR sure ain't built to go flat-out on the freeway.
It's still ideal on the secondary roads and the gravel though! The F800 didn't inspire me, but I'd like to look at the KTM990 as a "North America" bike. I don't think I'll ever get rid of the KLR!

Mount Washington was worth seeing, but the traffic, uber-low speed limit and $15 fee brings down the fun factor a lot. I think there's a lot better twisties if you head south a bit.

By the way I've posted a few more sneak-preview photos on ADVrider here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16242800#post16242800
