MotoNomadas
Thanks!
At this point of our journey we have to thank so many supporters, who have contributed to our cause in some many ways, that we can't longer list them here. However, on behalf of MotoNomadas we would like to thank you for your generous donations. Your commitment and willingness to helping Explorando el Sur is sincerely appreciated. We are very thankful to count on your support.
Our Special Thanks to...
CSM
Claude Stanley, for his support to Explorando el Sur project, and our cause. Since the first time we contacted Claude, he has been really helpful and always wiling to answer tons of questions about sidecars. This is why we went with him to build the hack for our V-Strom. We feel we could not find a better sidecar specialist to build our hack. If you are shopping for a sidecar for your motorcycle, C Stanley Motorsports is the place to go.
