Peruvian Papercuts
One of ten teams waiting for paperwork and lunch to be over at the border. Hope not much needed to enter Bolvia but I am sure the Adventurists have our back...He operates a smile as he types this

From the driest desert in the world, to the most dangerous road in the world, to the biggest rainforest in the world the Mototaxi Junket is rarefied adventure in a handy 2 week-so-you-won't-get-fired punch in the guts.<br /><br />The machine of choice is the humble Mototaxi. Invented in Peru and not really perfected anywhere. Built from a motorbike and a few bits of pipe these hardy little ferrets are designed for pootling around the back streets of cities. Which makes them perfect for dirt tracks, waist high mud, the Andes and sand dunes.”</em></font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"></font><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"><br />It was this inviting description that enticed members of team valsalva victory to register for the world’s first ever <a href="index.php" target="_blank">mototaxi junket</a>. (click and check it out)</font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"><img align="right" height="250" src="images/gallery09/17946/400x400.jpeg" width="231" /><br /></font><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">After rooming at a silent meditation retreat in the mountains of northern India team valsalva's members have decided to break the silence with a most excellent adventure. Team captain Rob Montana was introduced to the world of rally racing in India last year. His description </font><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">of chaos, break downs, screaming and near death experiences quickly enticed team valsalva victory’s second member Will Edmondson into thinking that such an adventure would be a good idea. </font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">Now - together - they will reunite and form team valsalva victory. They are poised for the competetion and are certain they are as unprepared and uncertain of what lies ahead as the other 60 teams entered in this event. </font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"><br /></font><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"> Rob spent his last few months in the united states working in a Seattle ER and is looking forward to, and excited for the challenges (and social benefits) of being team valsalva’s doctor. For Will, a junket buzz was just what he was looking for after an exploratory summer of travel and adventure. Something slow paced is what he had in mind and this is just what the doctor ordered. Having lo</font><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">gged some solid hours on a tired enfield as well as his own local ride, it has yet to be determined whether Will's international motorcycling experience will be of any use. Highly unlikely. </font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3"> </font><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">Of course we are not just riding a crappy bike with a sofa on the back across South America for shits n giggles. Creo que no!
