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

Pan American Highway

No wonder I was a little cold yesterday - I crossed the mountains at altitude 3670 meters (12,000 feet) in the freezing rain. Electronic Fuel Injection is a good thing.
Wanted to stay at the lake but too cold.
Blew by about 100 cars waiting on construction just outside of town - the flag men looked at me and waived me through with a warning. I had the highway to myself for about 20 km.
just twisted my way through Guatemala City - YIKES!
On the highway for El Salvador now.
