Dan's Ride to Honduras

The Mission: To get 2 Non-Denominational Christians and their 2005 KLR250's to their mission in Teguscigalpa Honduras and myself and my 1993 KLR250 to a Catholic mission in Flores, Honduras. the goal is to donate the bikes to the missions

The Players: (names have been changed to protect the ignorant)

Wagonmaster- (who we'll call Larry)riding experience- 44yrs. if you include the time riding with pa and uncles on old goldstars, yds1's, and other chicken wired works of art. Offroad riding experience-39yrs if you include the time upside down in a car.

Greenhorn 1-(who we'll call Curly)
riding experience- unknown by wagonmaster at time of departure, but rumor has it that he took the training wheels off his KLR the day of departure. Preparation for trip- intense praying for guardian angels, 2 artificial titanium hips to make him lighter and faster, and a haircut that resembles Curly of the three stooges

Greenhorn 2- (who we'll call Moe)
riding experience- unknown, but said to have owned a crotch rocket years ago. He should do fine off-road. Preparations for trip- packing every known medical supply for monkeybutt and changing cell service so his wife could contact him at any given moment.

The idea was to load the bikes in a van and leave on Valentines day to save on the cost of chocolate and flowers. Drive straight through to brownsville, unload bikes and take 10-11 days to get to Honduras. Once we got to Honduras we would work at the missions for a week and fly home. Everything was going as planned. We arrived in Brownsville as planned and would cross the border in the morning......
