Yes, I was quite jealous at that engine stand. Beats a bunch of 2x4's.

I'll be interested to hear what she's done with the 300. I still think I want one.

Looks like you'll be able to find out tomorrow.
From the tear down video it is only a refresh. The kid only mentioned replacing the rings. But she is full of surprises!
I thought he did say "Oh we've got a new piston!" so you never know...
Yeah, I heard that too.
I think they also said the only reason for the complete tear down was to get to the shaft the sprocket rides on since it was worn.
Then it seemed to turn into a, "While we're here" sort of thing.
Should've put in CRB300 cams, intake, exhaust, and a reflashed ECU...

Sometimes I just get a kick out of seeing good people living good lives and enjoying themselves. Right on Noraly.
To a degree I wish she would tour more in the states. That'd give me more ideas places to go.
Loved those albums on the shelf at the B&B.

Considering the time of year she's shipping the bike to another continent, and she's already been to South America and Southern Africa, it's gotta be Australia.
The graphics look red to me.
Take a look at who is on top after stage 2.
If you need some help as to who that is, check here.

Heh, I had just made a similar comment over in the Dakar thread.

I'm rethinking my China suggestion just due to the current Covid crisis there. Perhaps back to Africa? She rode the southern portion but I think that's all she covered; it's a huge continent; there are numerous cultures and languages and countries to experience.
Australia would be my guess
Before or after she said NO to Australia? Or are you saying she's trying to be deceptive?
Mongolia
I originally said the Vietnam area, but Australia is probably the best guess for a full season of videos.
Australia is out. She just squashed that rumor. So other parts of Africa or Mongolia make sense. Japan doesn't becuase of the fuel requirements she needs.
Although she could start in Japan and then ship again. There may be a fast fast shipping/ferry type method between Japan and some part of the main Continent we don't know about.

Even if it takes a few weeks for the bike to arrive, Mongolia's weather at this time of the year would be quite dicey. I'm sticking with Africa for now as they are in summer.
Are those updates she's giving now in real time, or still delayed by a month or two?
Also, that bike looks incredible. I am not a fan of all the red on my 300 Rally, so was browsing some of the sticker sets available. There are many, like this one: https://bikerzbits.com/honda-crf-300lr-rally-decal-sticker-kit-234r002.html
But having bunged up application of even small stickers too often, I'm afraid I'd mess up the bigger ones.
