After Peru we ride to Machala,Ecuador.It take long time at custom.It was easy and fast to stamp our passports but after that we ride 3 km to one another office where they write papers for temporary use in Ecuador.That takes long time.They put all technical information to computer and also make photos of bikes.It was raining season at Ecuador.After borderline landscape turns much green and looking more like rainforest area.Lot of banana fields.We just stay one night at Machala.After that we ride to Riobamba .Before Riobamba we stop at small village and watc bull run.It was 300 km ride at mountains.It was so much fog that sometimes you can only see 20 meters.After riobamba we ride to capital city of Ecuador,Quito.Quito is big town.We booked in hotel and then we go to sauna and jaguzzi.It was hotel owened by russians.When we were back in room phone was ringing.Man from reseption says that there is two man from local Harley Davidson.We were little bit suprised but we go to reseption.There was two men from local motorcycle club and they tell that they have seen us riding at Quito.They come and welcome us to Quito.Later we go eat and drink few beers together.We needed to change rear tires and they tell us good motorcycle company where to go.Local Harley dealer asks 1000 USD for new rear tire and work.Other company what they recommended us take 300 USD for same tire and same work.We save much money.
Next day we local biker pick up us from hotel and we go to change the tires.After that Raul from local club come and we ride to his parents house and drink some juice his mother was making.
After that we ride to their clubhouse and spend evening there.Thanks Marco,Raul and rest of club.
