Matt's done; he said he's "Rode-Out"

Packing it in.
Arrived Buenos Aires at 12:43 AM
Impact zone, fortunately, the bags took the brunt...
Road Rash
After 6,745 km in 13 days of some seriously rough roads through Argentina and Chile with lots of dirt and several passes over the Andes at 16,000 feet and Matt finally admits he doesn't want to see a motorcycle for a while...
Never mind a few flat tires and getting slammed into from behind by a truck in the mountains with no serious injuries - you know you're extremely skilled (LUCKY) when the truck that kissed my moto had to be towed down the mountain while we were able to ride on.  Too bad my luggage, their mounts and most of my cloths are toast.  Armored cloths , real boots and a good helmet are good things.

Cheers,
Nick, from my phone.
