What did it take us to get to Ushuaia ?

Apart from blood and sweat, to get our two Suzuki V-Strom from Washington, DC to Ushuaia, we needed:
• 10 tires in addition to the ones we had when we left
• 16 oil changes, one of which done by Caroline
• 8 oil filter changes, one of which changed by Caroline
• 24 spar plugs just because Chad follows the manual by the book
• 1163 gallons or 4398 liters of gasoline, without once running out of gas

From a traveling perspective, we could summarize it in:
• 309 days of traveling
• 32,647 miles or 52.235 kilometers traveled each, a few more for Chad's bike with the two-up rides
• 15 countries visited, some multiple times like Chile and Argentina
• 34 passport pages stamped, Chad is actually running out of space
• 6 boats we put our bikes on, the longest for 5 days between Panama and Columbia and the shorter on a little wooden barge across a river
• $518.82 spend in border crossing fees
• 2 bribes paid to the corrupt cops, 150 pesos in Mexico and 44 Lempiras in Honduras
• 4 bribes we managed not pay, 2 fake IDs left behind to not pay a bribe we should have, 1 police run on an illegal U-turn (please don't report us)
• 2 days riding in the snow, our bikes covered with frost twice, different days and countries though

Other less fun facts about the trip:
• Caroline dropped her bike 6 times, most spectacular and less painful ones were in the sand
• Chad never dropped his bike (!!!!) but he dropped Caroline's twice, go figure...
• We had one accident with each other but only Caroline crashed
• We had to take 132 malaria pills both, no side effects recorded yet
• 2 flat tires that we could fortunately fix on the road, always right before dusk (and a bonus one in a car, with Caroline's parents)
• 1 black rooster, 1 baby rabbit, 2 birds and 127,832 insects killed, and we love animals!

Feel free to add more fun facts in the comment section if we have forgotten some:) And the trip now continues towards the north of Argentina... More stories to come!
