Old Toad Rides Again
 

This is a general message of gratitude to the many bikers on the Hubb who sent me wishes of encouragement, etc. The cast is off. I walk (gently). I will leave Rio Grande for Chile on Saturday. The bike is at Dakar Motos in Bs As. I will collect it in three weeks to continue the ride north. Cost of trucking the bike door to door, $85 - that's for 3000 Ks! Customs clearance here in Rio Grande for transport out of Tierra del Fuego, thru Chile and back into Argentina was free, though took a while. Anyone needing to do the same must make sure they have a valid (or get a fresh) Temporary Import permit for the Argentine.

Oh my goodness, that was fast!!! I thought older bones (not that you've got any) take longer to heal??? Guess it's all a myth. Good luck!

Heal
 

As a veteran of Patagonian bone repairs, I can say that you will feel much better once your are on the road. You might be sore in the begining. Good luck, Bro.

I was in Rio Gallegos for 5 weeks with a broken clavicle.

Thanks
 

Loraine and gentleman, thanks for the messages. Just off to Dakar Motos for Saturday assado. I shall drink to you all a small quantity of wine as need to be careful navigating the metro steps!
