Ohh what a shock! Crazy way of driving in argentina!!!!
After switching my brain to the "local" way of driving anything my next search began again.What kind of bike:
Enduro.... absolutly but......heavy monster or bicicle feeling?
My G/S was very manuvrable but heavy.Excellent for european roads.
So no africa twin or super tenere was considered.
TT 600 or XR 650.After looking around in Buenos Aires the decision was taken.
As allmost no Yamaha dealers where found but dozens of Honda..........
Using for 90 days a C-90 gave me the idea of a powerfull but ligth bike.
So i went to the shop and payd cash my new XR 650L.94 build.
Uauuu what a riding feeling.Its like trying do calm down a bronco horse!
As we began a new chapter in family sense Ilona was having our first son.
Our last trip in many years together was done.Uruguay.
Soon i realized that the 10 liters tank is useless here!So i ordered the 40 liters version in Acerbis(italy).The form of it is like the PD version of the rally machines.Perfect fit and better ventilated then the original.
Trips in Cordoba,San Luis and catamarca where done.80% of it of course RIPIO.
What a feeling,my inner child was conected again!
The bike is my matching partner.
