San Antonio de Areco, Argentina

Headed south for a quick trip to take care of some business. 
It's winter here but the day was nice so I called Walter, who was free, and we rode out of town to a new destination.  Wound up 130 km north-west of Buenos Aires in a little town called San Antonio de Areco for a late lunch in the plaza. 
We did a slow cruise home through evening rush hour traffic as the sun was setting and a cold front was trying to drop some patagonian rain. 
cafe in the plaza
Yesterday I installed new JT Sprockets front and back and had the oil changed (less than a thousand miles but it has been 6 months - it's cheap insurance... odo kicked over 35,000)

The newest pony in the stable

I picked up this 2009 F800GS last week. I couldn't rationalize keeping the Santa Barbara V-Strom so alas, it has found a new home in southern California.
