Santa Barbara to Buenos Aires, and then some...

a less dramatic motorcycle diary... I rode a Suzuki DL650 motorcycle from California to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the years I continue to ride, taking trips from Buenos Aires to Machu Picchu, Patagonia and Ushuaia Argentina, Chile along the southern spine of the Andes to the northern border, through the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, excursions throughout Argentina, and North to the Amazon region of Brazil. Most recently rode Chile's austral ruta 7. Nick Neuburger

Moto Gets New Luggage

Loaded the new bags with bottles of water to better simulate loaded weight and set out on a cold windy ride through tight turns and broken pavement. Did the mountain loop around Santa Barbara and within an hour I was able to throw the bike around - but it is getting heavy. Just a few more modifications and its ready to roll south.
