Summer In Argentina

Raid2_news That's right, in the Southern Hemisphere, it's Summertime, and Vespaonline's second annual Desert Raid is underway. Bustling Buenos Aires is behind them. So far they have encountered fewer and fewer cars as they get deeper into the Pampas Desert but they still get the occasional tractor trailer blowing past them. The air displacement from the trucks gives them a bit of practice for the extreme crosswinds they will soon encounter on the unpaved Ruta 40. The parties of vultures stripping cow carcasses to bone are giving them a bit of solemnity for the extreme distance they have to make before they see Ushuaia. The spaghetti they brought is giving them plenty of comfort at night.

Hi Jonathan, I am one of those that have participated in the trip in Vespa in Argentina. Luca has spoken to me of you remembering the raid of the desert U.S.As. of last year. Has been a sin that you have not been able to participate in the raid in Patagonia. Has been a beautiful adventure and I hope to be able to take around some other trip in Vespa for the world and to be able to meet you. A regard from Italy. Hi from lorenzo
