Club night. Time to check tire pressure and fluid levels. I rode the Bonne last time. I’m thinking Duc tonight.
-
I live about 50 miles North of the Clubhouse. The Duc is lovely on the country roads & freeway. But it sucks in the City. Especially on the way down. Too much stop and go. That dry clutch gets grabby when it’s hot. It wasn’t bad on the way home. Much less traffic and cooler temps @ midnight and once I hit the Golden Gate Bridge it was all smooth sailing.
Keep the rubber side down, brothers.

Rainy days wrenching on the bike with a beer and jazz makes my heart so full.

I failed my first attempt at a motorcycle driving test because I braked a bit hard during the emergency stop, and the rear wheel lifted.
I got my licence, eventually.

@Graeme I’ll get there too mate! I’m waiting on the retest now so hopefully it’ll be soon! In a way I’m glad the mishap happened under test conditions and not for real out on the roads. Thank you mate

Yesterday we set off on a new bike trip. We carried the bikes down to Villamontes to avoid running down the knobby tires on pavement.
-
Today we leave the trucks behind, bike into Argentina and leave pavement once we reach the town of Libertador San Martin.
Bikes loaded and ready
We’ll be largely travelling through Calilegua Nat. Park. We’ve been promised quaint towns, curvy mountain roads, rocky terrain and cool weather. Let’s see.
The journey is the objective.

@motojobobo What amazes me, is that there is a replica road on the hillside on the other side of the valley.....
