Around The Block Tours-October 9 2017

Toby @http://www.aroundtheblockmotoadventures.com/moto-purchase-buy-back/
has added to his fleet 3 new bikes which can be rented or purchased for your next trip.


If shipping from Toronto Ontario, Canada....the cost one way to send my VStrom is $ 3000.00 ....does not include special crating, charges at receiving airport and overall hassle plus getting rid of the crate......makes perfect sense to buy 1 of the above with a guarantee buy back.....Your cost as little as $ 2121.00/$1100.00 and no hassle arranging for shipping home,,,,for me it is a savings of over $ 4000.00....and no wear and tear on my bike

Packing For Peru/Ecuador-Oct 2-2017

40cmx30x20cm deep and fit the side rack....attached with ratchet type/pull straps''''I will bring rain jackets which I had already purchased for the luggage I was planning to take 

I ran into a weight problem in my pre-pack.....I had planned on using the same carry on type suitcases on flights which I used on my previous South American Trip in Chile/Argentina. I am taking my own helmet this time, heavier riding boots, tools and a tool tube pushing the weight up on my checked luggage. This led to me contacting Toby regarding the aluminum panniers. These are still in production and will not be ready but Toby has soft bags and I have purchased the ones above......
Here is a pic from Toby's site of an X-terra with the side bags...mounted
