    @motojobobo That looks amazing. Pissis lake looks beautiful. Very cool riding at 4600 meters, some serious mountains in Argentina.

    Love that cactus as well! 😃

      Typical Andean backdrop, but I just love these monochrome bkgds

      One of my travel buddies. I love the framing of the bike and road against the grandiose backdrop.

      This is Las Lenas ski resort, southwest from Mendoza. This was the last week they are open this year. Still beautiful.

      The journey is the objective.

        @motojobobo Great photos, as usual. This is so vastly different from anything I see here in Europe, I really enjoy this!

            Not a road bike… but I picked this 1982 XR 500 up last summer and rip it around off-road any chance I get! It’s no Snowbike… but it’s fun!

              @Brock that rig is a thing of beauty. Hell of a pick up.

              Get outside, feel small

                    Guzzi began lightly leaking oil at the final drive joint. Water had made it’s way in. Drained, flushed and refilled. Not sure WHY it happened. Will need to keep a close watch on it for the remainder of the trip.

                    The journey is the objective.

                        I’m back with a new batch of pics from the last few days. These next ones are from our last days in Chile. Did a 220 km loop in the Puerto Varas/Puerto Montt area. That included a 30 minute ferry ride.

                        IMG_3166.jpeg
                        This ferry ride got us to the kick off point of the well-known (amongst motorcyclists) Ruta Austral.

                        IMG_3177.jpeg
                        This area is awash with volcanoes, the one in the background is Yates.

                        IMG_3191.jpeg
                        We had two buddies squirming due to stomach bugs…we assume it was bad seafood. They were both better the next day.

                        Volcan Chabuco in the background of the old church.

                        IMG_3244.jpeg
                        Hope you like volcanoes…this one is Osorno. Probably close to a perfect cone I’d say. And that is lake Llanquihue, a HUGE lake.

                        And we leave Chile, heading back into Argentina.

                        The journey is the objective.

                              This is Paso Internacional Cardenal Samore, at 1350 mts, the customs/migration check point.
                              I froze all day…not sure why. Temp was always in the 5 to 12 deg C range and I was dressed as warmly as ever. I’m guessing it must have been some stomach or flu bug I could’ve been battling. Weird, next day I was fine.

                              IMG_3259.jpeg
                              Typical forest type around here. On our way from Villa La Angostura to San Martin de los Andes. Someone is fond of long names around here…

                              IMG_3263.jpeg
                              Yep, here are my IH by Vibers hikers which I bought off @mclaincausey quite a few years ago. I love them! They are ALWAYS the spare footwear (aside from my bike boots) which come along an all my bike trips.

                              IMG_3264.jpeg
                              Snow began to show up again as we neared a ski resort, Chapelco.

                              IMG_1238.jpeg
                              Two guys from our group skied that day. The rest chugged hot chocolates.

                              IMG_1253.jpeg
                              This is rio Hermoso, apparently a fishing hotspot. We saw many groups fishing as we drove on the dirt road along the river.

                              FullSizeRender.jpeg
                              We came across this road sign. It had snowed 9 days ago and the road people hadn’t had a chance to do maintenance nor inspect the road. Nobody policed odedience to the sign so we went ahead.

                              IMG_1276.jpeg
                              IMG_1267.jpeg
                              Beautiful scenery lay ahead. We were headed toward a spot called Paso Cordova, the highest point on that road at 1380 mts. An old cattle herding route.

                              b0546bbc-01ca-478c-b08d-222d0cf19598.jpeg
                              Only snag on the route showed up 200 mts after Paso Cordova. About 20 mts of snowdrift. Lucky it wasn’t more, but we made across with a bit of leg work.

                              4361b619-c43e-4150-b1b4-bcd0e2fa0ba8.jpeg
                              IMG_1281.jpeg
                              Things got greener as we went down the other side of the pass.

                              IMG_3291.jpeg
                              Today, Sunday, I decided to take it easy, enjoy the view and don all my IH gear.

                              The journey is the objective.

                                    @psticks I had the 2005 model of that bike, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that Harley only made the Softail Springer Classic from 2005-2007. Gorgeous bike regardless.

                                      @psticks Beautiful bike! I had a 2002 FLSTS - Heritage Springer and wish I never sold it. Ride it in good health.

                                        Had to do it- frisco tank. Thanks to the shallow tunnel I get more gas without a bigger tank. The fit of this is much better thank a peanut with a lift. Lowbrow Customs ftw 🤘

                                          @WhiskeySandwich Plans for paint? I’ve seen a few where it’s left in the grey, favourite stickers added, and a coat or three of clear over everything…
