Ushuaia, Argentina is the southernmost city in the world, and as such, is a meeting place of all the touring motofreaks every year for Christmas and New Years Eve. Heres a list of who, on what, and from where for how long. This year we all ganged up on the fantastic folks at the Rugby Club Camping ground and stuffed ourselves silly with a bbq`d lamb and boxes of Argentinian wine. We were even fortunate enough to be a part of TWO engagements!!
Apologies to those that I may have missed.
