Looks good! Take care and have fun!
Nice piece of fur on yer saddle......

How about a suspension upgrade? You'll probably need it, it'll be a good investment.

Greetz, Hans.

Hi Pat,

this is going to be a wonderful trip.
Maybe you will find it useful, the best map of southern argentina i have found so far, was this road-sign. Here you can see what the road conditions are going to be.

Very many thanks to all you folks who have been offering good wishes. I hope the blog turns into something you will find of interest and entertaining.

And - who knows - we may well meet on the road.

never heard back from and just saw this post, not sure if i told you when you go into gas stations in Argentina use the YPF stations, virtually all of them have free wifi so you can keep us updated, and you don't need to spend any money to use it, they also have hot food that sometimes isn't visible or on the menu just ask

i checked your blog and noticed the mount on the top bar above the speedo, i would suggest against using that for the garmin 550, the weight and the vibration on the ruta 3 and ruta 40 will snap the welds in you inner headlight mount, (it happened to a guy i riding with) i used this http://www.ztechnik.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p227.html a lot stronger and handlebar mounted instead so less vibration

You are going to have the trip of a lifetime. I was in Tierra del fuego about 2 years ago. Beautiful place, bleak but beautiful. Wished i had a bike many times on our 2.25 year journey.
Bolivia is simply stunning, and my favourite country in south America.
