Here we are all safe and sound in Torres del Paine, we had a great ride up to here yesterday with the whole gang back together, as Mike rejoined us in Punta Arenas. See his blog below. Cheers, Rosco Hola, Its me again back in the land of the living - and the land of the travelling. Most people are aware I fractured my left hand and leg as a result of a get-off on a gravel road. Luckily same leg as my previously damaged one, albeit in a different place - at least I still only have one gammy leg. [View Full Entry]

Well here we are in Punta Arenas, much has happened since our last blog. We have ridden our Moto’s to the end of the world to Fin del Mundo and some of us continued as far South East as you can go, to Ea. Moat, what a great ride that was. Mike V has had his operation to repair and pin his broken leg and will be driven down to met up with us by his surgeon. We are looking forward to him rejoining us. We all went to Gerardo’s Estancia and enjoyed a great lunch, prepared by his wife, Marisol [View Full Entry]

The past few days have not been without incidents, with the KTM (short for Keeps Taking Money) having to be loaded onto the truck, just 70km’s into a 517 km day, we left it with a local Moto shop to track the electrical fault to a broken wire under the tank.

Well here we are in Puerto Madryn on the Atlantic coast. we left Ing Jacobaci two days ago and went to Las Grutas, but not without a bit of drama, about 5km out of town we came apon Tom at the top of a hill overlooking Las Grutas, I assumed he was taking a photo of the panoramic view that confronted us, BUT he never had a hand on his head, so we went back to make sure he was OK. HE WAS NOT !! The rear chain had parted company at around 100 kms an hour and had completely destroyed [View Full Entry]
