      Thank you so much!!! I upgraded suspension in Santiago, Chile in 2019. I was writing solo with half of the gear on that leg of the trip, and by the time I arrived in Chile the rear shock was so blown that the bike would literally fall over on the side stand... 😂

      BC, Yukon and NWT are incredible as well, just do yourself a favor and avoid the Canadian summer vacation season!

      Unfortunately the Argentinian economy is in a death spiral. Between inflation and duties you'll pay double for a lot of common items, if you can get them at all. Just for fun I priced out a pair of tires that would normally go at around $350 in the US - they were over $1,400 USD in Argentina! 😬

    Bummer about your business going tits up. Every cloud and all that.
    Kept your souls at The Crossroads I'd say.
    I emery cloth the clutch steel plates on my bikes when needed. Not around, but inner to outer. Makes the clutch grip the friction plates better, so it don't burn itself out lugging.
    So options?
    1. Sponsored mini series, following you two's adventure?
    2. Sell an organ or two on the black market?
    3. Learn musical instruments, playing Tonight Only live gigs in the town square you chance upon that day to cost cover the next days adventure?
    4. Go full on Bonnie and Clyde mode?.
    Thanks for the look around.
