South America Ride 2006/2007
|
||
January 9 We went back to the hotel and walked over to Buster's to visit a guy (Albert-Turtle Head) that had been giving us some feedback over on Advrider.com. Albert was there and had a solution. At 4:30 I zoom over to Hi-Performance to see Tommy (from Korea). Tommy keeps a few extra tires because he has a BMW RS himself. The tire was expensive, but I was tickled to have it. Thank you Tommy. He also mounted the tire for me which was a big help. Later this evening we went to Albert's (Scottish fellow) second bar to thank him for his help. Thank you Albert. When you are down this way, stop by and see Albert at Buster's or the Turtle Head, he owns both of them. Money is flowing like water under a bridge.
Maybe I can get a grip on it for the remaining part of the trip? |

Arriving at BMW |
We did get our oil changed, but no tire |
|
These two GS's belong to two Cech Republic
guys that were on a ride from Alaska to Argentina and they had to store
the bikes for a few months so they could go home and work. |
I'll have to contact my Uncle to get the
name of this car, but it is a 1957 BMW something or other. I now have
feedback from my brother that say's this car is a Isetta. |

Three doors instead of the one that I
have seen |
Plenty of room, come on in |

Getting the oil changed |
