The Newest Member of our Family...


Thank you to all of you who helped us to purchase our new motorcycle. Kelly and I were able to get a good deal on a used, but perfect, LIFAN 200GY-2. It is a 200cc all-terrain bike. This is a popular Chinese brand that has good standing among the locals here in Iquitos. It is the top of the line next to purchasing a new Yamaha, Honda, or Suzuki - those can be quite pricy. Here is a photo of Kelly and myself getting ready to head into town for a night off.

The purchase of this bike has already helped out tremendously. We are approximately 7-8 miles out of town, but 3 miles of that is solid dirt. The only other way to traverse this is by motorcar, or feet. When the road gets muddy, and it does quite often, the road is significantly more challenging to travel on. This bike has given us a good, and dependable, method of transportation. Thank you all for you help. We really enjoy this bike!
