Advice for bike hire/travel in Argentina
Hi,
I'm after some advice. 2 friends are riding XT600's from LA to BA ( www.wrongwayround,com ), and I'm thinking of joining them for the last 2 weeks of the trip.
My plan - fly to BA, rent a bike ( http://www.motocare.com.ar/rental ), ride 1000kms or so to Mendoza, hook up with my mates, then take 2 weeks to ride back to BA via Iguazu Falls.
I have a few concerns:
1. I don't speak Spanish (yet - got 4 weeks to do a crash course I suppose!) - will I make it to Mendoza ok?
2. Anyone know anything about hiring a bike in BA?
3. I've not got much off road riding experience - will this matter in Argentina between Mendoza and BA?
4. Travelled (a bit by bike) in Africa, SE Asia, and western countries, but never been to South America - am I mad to consider this, or should I just go for it?
Cheers for any advice you can give,
Mark
