Fork broken, park bike in Buenos Aires
Hi out there!
Yesterday was best driving weather and I decided to go to El Chalten. Nice place, really :-)
But 1 km before entering the village, my AfricaTwin suddenly made some problems, no more front suspension... I first thought, that the seal ring was broken. Today, after a close inspection, I saw that the fork is broken. I mean there is a big crack right at the place where the frame holds the fork, and all the oil is coming out of there....
Because my budget is quite exhausted, it's not possible for me to buy/repair the fork at the moment. I have a possibility to transport my bike to Buenos Aires from here (I hope!).
What I d'like to do, is to transport my bike to BA, park it there in a safe place and return in a few months with the necessary parts for making it work again. To park my bike in Argentina was anyway what I've planned, but of course, not as early and urgently as it is now...
Because I can't do anything else than leave the bike here (no good option) or bring it to BA, I wanted to ask you, if somebody knows somebody in BA who could help me with my problems?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

P.S. If somebody heads into chalten, I'm at the free camp site on the right side before the bridge which leads into the village (camping confluencia or something like that)
