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

Crossing into Argentina at Paso Jama and route into Jujuy

Matt with wild alpacas in the altiplano.

In the high desert at 15000 ft with alpacas.

An amazing twisty road north of Jujuy and vistas south of Salta.

The route down from the altiplano where we dropped from 13,800 feet to 7,100 feet in about an hour.

Flat number 1

Flat number 2

While fixing flat number 2, Gonzalo, a fellow adventure rider (returning from the Bolivian border) stopped to help and had the correct tube - we were trying to cram a 19 front tire tube into the back rim... Later we all went out to dinner later.

Dinner with Gonzalo

Cheers,
