In early November 2006, Troy and Doug Stroop departed from Phoenix, Arizona on one of the great
motorcycle journeys of all time. A round trip, three month motojourney
from North America to Panama. Both riding BMWs (1100 GS model to be exact, Troy on
a red one, Doug on a white one) they
navigated the wilds of Mexico Central America.
