      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.

      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…

      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.

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

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

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

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

        If this motorcycle trip report fits better elsewhere, please let me know, and I’ll move it. Thanks.

            @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…

                    @goosehd I like rocking raw metal for a while while a paint scheme comes to me. In the meantime I just smoothed it out with a flap disc and a wire brush on the drill. To avoid rust I generously wipe it down with wd40 and some chain wax.

                                tiger sport 1050 is decent. mate of mine had one. but for more off roadish you might need to look at the tiger 1200s

                                      Didn't see any Indian and might have overseen a Vincent. But it's a great collection. The one HD was given by JFK to the Archbishop of Cyprus.
