      @louisbosco I gave the back break a little too much welly and skidded a little on the emergency stop. Automatic fail for safety

      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.

            The journey is the objective.

              Today we leave the trucks behind, bike into Argentina and leave pavement once we reach the town of Libertador San Martin.

              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.....
