They're still in Ridgecrest as the spare parts didn't arrive as promised today but hopefully they'll be there tomorrow. As soon as things are up and running they'll head on to Las Vegas but the question is should they ride in the afternoon or stay another night in order to ride in the morning when the temperature isn't as high.

The "Harley Brothers" (Dossi and Skuli) will be going on to Death Valley early tomorrow morning and from there on to Las Vegas. 

They're still in Ridgecrest. The motor on Einar's bike was acting up yesterday so they decided to take a look. Spare parts are needed but with good help they've ordered them and it's expected that they'll arrive tomorrow. Hopefully they'll be able to fix things and head on tomorrow afternoon.

The "Harley Brothers" (Dossi and his friend Skuli) are using the time to get adjusted to the heat which is needed as the temperature is around 40°C (105F). 

Today was the day Dossi and Skuli got their bikes. Einar and Sverrir changed filters and oil on their bikes to make them ready for the next leg of the journey. Then at noon they took off.

After about 300km they arrived in a small town called Ridgecrest a little further north and in the desert. The temperature has been around 35-40°C (95-105°F), rather hot but they said it was ok.

To Sverrir and Einar the landscape reminded them of Mongolia, only now they were riding on asphalt instead of a dirt road.

Death Valley, the lowest point of the US, is their destination tomorrow. As it's below sealevel they should expect a lot of heat there. Then it's on to Las Vegas.

Dossi and Skuli have arrived in Santa Monica and when the travelers got in touch they were having a proper American breakfast.

Yesterday they'd gone to a place where bikers generally meet on Sundays and guess who comes riding on his shiny bike... no other than Jay Leno. They had a conversation with him and of course they took a few pictures of them with him. A very pleasant surprise and one of the things that make the journey so special.

Later today they'll go visit the studio where CSI:Miami is shot. Egill Örn Egilsson, or Eagle Egilsson as he's called in the US, the director of photography for some of the episodes on the show has been a great help (picked up Dossi and Skuli from the airport amongst other things) and has offered to show them Hollywood. 

They may also be interviewed for some of the Icelandic media before they go on the road tomorrow.

These are very exciting things that have been happening but it's getting closer and closer to the end of their journey and the families are getting anxious to see them again.
