easy rider

Pounded out good miles today from tucuman to cordoba.... epoxy held on oil pressure sensor...eases mind for now.

2 lane highway could have been any back highway in the Midwest( flat and straight with a total of 4 curves in 400miles) aside from a rigamortis set in bloated dead horse and a pack of gypsy chicks that came out of their tent and horded us as soon as we pulled over for a break. Identical tooth missing daughters exept for noses smashed and broken in different directions…..too tough and scary to take a picture when they were trying to hustle us but I snuck one in walking away which is not at all reminiscent of how the fronts looked. Grandma pikey was straight out of a Romanian crystal ball and poor grandaughter is in the making. Got out of there as quick as we could before husband pikeys decide to come out and shoot us. bought some helmet speakers before i left and threw a concert all day to shun the boredom.....more bands than loolapalooza (is that still a tour)...bike dancing...toe tapping on footpegs, shoulders shaking, chicken neck helmet head..one arm drummer...looked back at simon doing the same thing realized no where near cool as bennis hopper and pete fonda in easy rider
Made it into Cordoba which is considered the cultural capital of argentina in time to see a bit of the city but gonna ride out pretty quick to get to Buenos Aires in time for the New Year and the Paris- Dakar race that is in Argentina for the first time ever…should be pretty cool…over half the bikes entered are KTM. hoping to find an extra oil pressure sensor from one of the teams

rest legs on engine guard and im riding a lazy boy

little too lazy when i pulled off for a break on what i thought was dirt but actually was slippery mud from the rain

Hey Mike,

I've been loving watching you on this blog, makes me forget I'm in the snowy, cold-ass midwest. Maybe you miss is?

So what is up next after the big race?
