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

V-Strom #4

I just picked up my 4th v-strom; a black '08 DL650 with less than 10,000 miles on the clock. The BMW was sexy and sleek and a total pain to ride - too tall and it has no provision for a proper windshield which was unbearable for any duration at speed.

Strom4 came with, and I've already bolted on, some Hepco Becker crash bars and engine bash guard. I've already ordered a Madstad windshield, luggage, and barbacks... A few more goodies and I just might have to head south (or north, or east) - The open road is calling...
