Some moto pics from a recent trip to Argentina
« on: March 11, 2010, 04:55:39 PM »
I go to AR about once a year to visit my wife's family but for some reason this time I felt a great motorcycle presence so I felt compelled to snap a few pics...

It was rare to see a bike over 250cc but there are a ton of riders in Buenos Aires as is evidenced here:



I saw this poor Ducati going to waste as a decoration.  I took the pic through the closed shop window:



Sitting in front of an antique shop, I ran into 3 beautiful Triumphs.  If I thought my wife would have agreed to take one home, I would have stopped in to ask about the price:

Is that a price tag I see hanging on the bike? :D  Would be neat to know what they were asking.

dont suppose you saw Mark Sanford, my governor from South Carolina did you?  :D

sorry no Sanford sightings but I think he already owned up to the affair so no more proof is needed i guess.

Those were not price tags by the way.  The just had the name of the antique store on them and I was too lazy to go in and ask.
