Gustavo put in a tremendous effort to help us find the right bike. He eventually found a well set up 300 Rally in the flea market on advrider.com. It was located in Phoenix/AZ. As luck would have it, Paul, another friend of ours lives in Phoenix. When I reached out to him, he offered to check out the bike for me. Later the same day I received a video call from Paul while he was standing next to the bike in company of the seller. We agreed on the terms and completed the deal. Paul brought the bike home a few days later.

Spurred on by having secured the first bike I then put up a “Want to buy” post on advrider.
Within less than an hour a fellow inmate reached out and said he might have what we were looking for. It was a 300 rally set up pretty similarly to the other one.
After a few days writing back and forth to get a feel for each other we had a deal. The bike was located in Tehachapi CA, but the seller offered to drive out and hand over the bike to Paul in Needles – halfway between Tehachapi and Phoenix.
They organized the pickup and soon both bikes for the trip were securely stored in Paul’s garage.
