Dakar Motos
Javier and Sandra at Dakar Motos are already famous. Any biker heading through Buenos Aires knows that they provide a haven for bikers, the best of help and best advice - also great assados on Saturdays.
I shipped my bike up by truck from Tierra del Fuego (US$60). I rode it out of Dakar Motos this afternoon. The rear end of the bike was crushed in the crash (see BLOG at home). Javier has straightened the chassis and done a rebuild. I promised Javier not to reveal what he charged. He has proper bikes in all the time, BMWs, etc., bikes where a few spares cost more than my baby Honda cost new last year in Mexico. The charge was around half what I expected - though the cash is less important than the care. Sandra and Javier are in my Pantheon of Argentine saints, those who aided me when I was down. Here, in this bikers' meeting space, an old man professes his thanks.
