Satellite Phone Call From Mongolia

08 Jun 2009, written by moto 2 Comments

At about 8:35 PM MST, a call came through with a crazy unrecognizable prefix on the caller ID, which could mean only one thing, Nato and Ben were calling in from the Sat Phone. It was morning there, and the boys were checking in from their luxurious yurt accommodations somewhere in Mongolia. They sounded tired, and I daresay a little sluggish and/or hungover, but that could have just been the delay in the phone transmission. On the first day’s ride, they dodged some rain, but at the time of the call, they were heading out for day 2 of the tour to sunny blue skies. Nato said it was a little colder than he expected, but not too bad. The bikes they are riding are BMW F650 GS models, perfect for the roads and trails there, according to Nato.

Thanks for the Nato/Ben update — keep ‘em coming if/when they check back in. S

Good news. Sounds like they got decent bikes. Nato thought they were going to be riding 250cc dirt bikes on this trip.
