By the time we reached Neuquen, it was time for a beer. Even if it wasn’t the best ever.

[motojobobo]

And healthy appetizers too

This bike LOVES mountain roads…too bad she doesn’t get much of that at home.

great photos @motojobobo That bike is the perfect place to be after eating 2 black sausages with a bowl of cheese. The bike probably has 1201 cc's now

Yesterday we reached the southernmost point in out trip, San Martin de los Andes. We’ve rented an A-frame for the next four days, before we turn around and head north again.

NOTE: apologies for the multiple messages; I tried to get them into a single one but something isn’t working. May be the available bandwidth. If the the mods see fit to modify/delete, please do so.

Cheers guys!!

great trip @motojobobo thanks for sharing

Perhaps an IH groupie motorcycle trip around Argentina would work nicely. Renting reasonable bikes may be the main hurdle. Good roads, excellent wine, nice food, very low prices and great scenery are all everywhere you turn.

Great pics @motojobobo .. I like the way the tenere rider has his spare tyres strapped to the bike… pretty novel!

[motojobobo]

@Baba-san Hey buddy, he’s an old friend. Probably the most-travelled of our bunch and likely the top rider too.
He did so because the tires mounted when we set out wouldn’t last the trip. With current tire shortages and imported stuff being expensive in Argentina he brought a new spare set. Just had them mounted today
Worked well but he had to be careful in the twisties to avoid dragging them. They were zip-tied to his crash bars. Elegant solution.

Check out this ‘58 Sportster I spied at the Dallas Airport…

@Matt There’s something about the owner of Kiehls being a motorcycle fanatic/collector as all his stores have really cool vintage bikes in them.

That is an elegant solution. And a great ride. I hope one day to get some kms around South America.
