Jey JD do you still have a bike. Something way back in my mind says that you have or used to have a Kawa. Just a thought!

Last Sunday, on the way back from San Juan de la Maguana, on a stretch of road between Los Bancos and Cruce Las Yayas, I was passed by a gaggle of howling harleys, maybe twenty in all, going at least 200 kph, so fast I couldn't even read the insignia on their vests, much less for them to hear me honk. Any idea who they where?

Señores, por ahí vienen las patronales de San Juan de la Maguana.

El viaje será del viernes 22 al domingo 24. Ya muchos me dieron parte del dinero y sus habitaciones están reservadas, así que paguen los demás, para que no se queden. Recuerden que es patronales y los pocos hoteles se llenan. Pónganse las pilas.

Más información y detalles en el foro privado.

La vaina va!!!!!!!!!!

After rewinding the tape and running it forward again, that was the only word readable on the back of one of the riders, Nativos..... Most were riding alone, however, two or three had backriders. I noticed though that they didn't stop at the obligatory military checkpoint at the place called El Puerto, before crossing the Yaque del Sur river. There are long stretches of recently paved road between 15 de Azua and San Juan de la Maguana, full of steep climbs, downward slopes, with soft spinning curves that surely must be bike heaven for riders...

Hey! I was on that Boca Chica trip !! We had 168 bikes from PR, plus the 20 odd from the DR. It was a pretty good ride from BC to Santiago..

You know it!!! We never stop at military checkpoints. Usually just a waive and go kind of a thing. We'll be going to San Juan from Barahona on our upcoming trip so we will surely have a go at that road for sure. Last year on the way to Pelempito we let the gas go on a great stretch of road and were doing in places about 115mph...oh what a rush!!! But the highway was perfect and the day was just right to open up all six cilynders and let her go rabid....
