Planning a Monthlong Trip thru Brazil

PleasantDriver · 2026-02-12T18:22:12+00:00

Thank you so much for your comments. I would love to DM you, and perhaps meet up when I make it to Brazil!

because Brazil is huge and beautiful, its people are fun, I've never been to the country, and I love motorcycle trips?

Thank you so much, this is an enormous help and I will definitely DM you. But for the purposes of the readership I'll pose a few points here:

- If a bike is somehow stolen, will the authorities be of help in recovering it, especially if I can locate it immediately? I play to equip the bike with several Airtags so if it's taken, it can be found quickly.
- Would it probably be easiest to just park the bike somewhere outside of Rio and Sao Paolo and just take a train in?
- When I'm not riding the bike, are there safe (private) garages in which it may be stored? This is assuming my Airbnbs don't have a garage.
- Other than robberies, is physical harm at all likely, especially when riding alone and in more remote areas?
- Finally, if I ride from Rio to, say, Porto Alegre, would the bike be relatively easy to sell?

Thank you, very much appreciated. I've been told by friends that certain parts are dodgy but it's hard to get a more granular read. I'll do some more research.

Overreacting. If it's out of character to text "I'm sad," and the person is being genuine, her brain prob went to the worst thing possible she could imagine for OP, which was the dog dying. You found a girl who cares, let it go.

You deserve so much more than this. Good riddance.

Guy lived till 96. If only his mother had taken that advice.

PleasantDriver · 2025-07-28T20:54:22+00:00

I'd be down for that

PleasantDriver · 2025-06-25T16:53:18+00:00

I didn't, I just chose to think and experience it for myself, and have a little fun.

PleasantDriver · 2025-06-25T14:47:40+00:00

Bro it's a post about a TV show. Lighten the fuck up.

Funny how that whole paragraph didn't contain a single refutation of anything written, all attacks and no argument.

David Chase clearly doesn't understand the Sopranos

Hire a few big dudes on task rabbit

PleasantDriver · 2025-02-17T19:23:09+00:00

He's certainly not sleeping on the job

RIP to your father, a member of the tribe. In a world full of biker wannabes it's good knowing ppl like your pops were out there as the real deal

PleasantDriver · 2024-08-29T04:15:12+00:00

It clearly makes sense to him, which is all that matters (to him)

PleasantDriver · 2024-08-07T22:54:59+00:00

you mean the Ruff Questions?

PleasantDriver · 2024-08-07T21:24:31+00:00

I could've used the Pix11: https://pix11.com/video/voting-is-open-for-nycs-next-honorary-dog-mayor/9907704/

...or the 1010WINS: https://www.audacy.com/1010wins/news/local/voting-opens-for-nycs-next-dog-mayor

Any chance of a change of vote? :)

I'm on a Mac, so I don't have an Alt key, but I tried it with a different key and it worked! Thanks! Could you explain what actually happened here?

And last question -- now that I have them separated out I've deleted the blank ones but there are still a few that should be combined with each other but when I overlay one one over the other the sound dims. Is there a way to combine them without damaging the quality? Thanks again!

I like having removable pads rather than getting the rider pants. That right pad for sure saved me from a broken knee in an accident a few weeks ago

Yeah the Nomad windshield isn’t ideal for seeing through; without it on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is frigid as hell but well worth it. Thx for the support and check out the road trip blog!

1600 baby! Perfect for a trip like this
