Day 263 – Sao Jaoa de Vicosa to Linhares, Brazil 05/11/11 Mileage: 343
It was a mix of sun, clouds and rain all day today and it was all business making miles north.
This bridge has seen better days….
Progress however is painfully slow at times with only 1 lane in either direction and the countless slow moving trucks. I’ll be bombing along at 80 mph when around a bend I’ll have to wail on the breaks down to 15 mph for a decrepit old truck struggling to get up the slightest of hills. I must have passed well over a thousand trucks today…no exaggeration. At times I was passing 3, 4, 5 at a time…then diving back into my lane at the last second. Today I wish I could have transformed the KLR into GSXR1100…
Parting shot: Sunset over the BR101 north….
From Deadhorse Down 
Remember what happen the last time you were on a GXR.
Ha…good point! Don’t remind me….or my mother! lol
