REGRESO al VIAJE con CONSECUENCIAS tras mi PEOR ACCIDENTE (S25/E46) El MUNDO MOTO SINEWAN

A few weeks ago this happened Well, what you saw happened in Greece in a rally. The story is that I had a rider in the background who was going very fast, so I didn’t see that there was a curve to the right from afar. I looked at the roadbook, I was very distracted due to things that I’ll explain later, and I spent more time than usual looking there, and when I looked up, the two trees were already there… And the curve was there . So, I remember perfectly that, I looked and said: “I’ve never experienced this before, I’ve never been in a situation like this.” I thought that, I swear. And then, I knew that, if I had braked, the bike would have gone and it would have been a catastrophe. So I didn’t even brake with the one in front, I think I did brake a little with the one behind. The fact is, I dodged the tree on the left and went between the two. But it’s very important that I don’t go cleanly. The left bumper hit the tree, the bumper broke, imagine the impact… I was going about 70 km/h and, when I hit the tree, I fell sideways, which prevented me from making a clean jump that would have landed me on the road below, which was about 6 meters. I don’t know what would have happened in that case, you never know, but I think it would have been worse, honestly. Because I fell… “boom” with the luck that there was nothing, there was no “game over” right where I fell. There were many around, so I was very lucky. I jumped and “boom”, the bike went down and I was left there, in agony for two minutes. Simply, I think it was from the impact of the airbag with the ground… I don’t know, my body, I don’t know, I think it was protected. In total, I was in agony for two minutes. I do remember hearing the bikes and it seemed like one of them stopped, because it was such a tight corner, they were braking hard, and I was there on the ground, and I remember, a little melodramatically, raising my fist and saying “I’m fine.” The GoPro, by the way, jumped out and was lying on the side . As soon as I got up, I didn’t feel any pain, honestly, it was incredible. Phew! I’m fine, eh. The airbag went off, of course. No joke, eh? The bike was there on the ground, it had fallen really badly, it was in a hole, as well as being very difficult to get up. But the first thing I said: “Shit, maybe I can continue.” Do you think I can continue or not? Well maybe I can, eh? Let’s see… No, I don’t think so. But as I got closer, I saw that the road book was completely destroyed, and the nose (front) of the bike understood that too. So I said, “Whoa, I can’t continue.” Besides, my head, and I’ll explain later, was already in a different place, and that’s why I also got hurt. We’re carrying a sympathetic note to talk to the organization. First I told them, accident, but I’m fine. I mean, more or less they sent me a tow truck, but not a doctor. The worst thing was… It hurts a little, but very little, a rib. But it’s incredible! Right? I mean, good thing I didn’t hit the tree. Okay, I’m going to try to lift the bike . And then, well, I took everything off, and I went to try to lift the bike and my rib made a “clack” and I said, “Holy crap, I’ve never felt this before.” I stayed still, then I moved and “clack” again. Holy crap! And I was scared, because I’ve never had an accident like that. I’ve heard a lot of anonymous stories, about someone who had a punctured lung and didn’t know it, etc. So I decided to call a doctor and say, “Okay, this is over and that’s it,” you know? And I’m calm. I shouldn’t have gone to that rally, or I should have stopped the trip earlier and not at the last minute. I mean, I left the bike in Tucumán, flew to Spain , and had very little time left. The bike wasn’t ready. I tried from the high plateau to contact hotels that had Starlink, and I spoke with Ducati to get it set up. The tires, the rims, which aren’t Ducati, are narrow for carrying mousse, and they were bent from the previous rally. We had to order them from somewhere else. Uh, one didn’t have any, so they ended up sending it to Greece. The tank, which is carbon, It’s not the original Ducati, it’s one that weighs much less, it started to leak a little from the bottom, I don’t know… The fact is that I didn’t have time to test the bike or arrive relaxed. I arrived without finishing editing all the chapters so that there would be an episode every Sunday. And that’s the big mistake. It’s one of two things: either you go with your head focused on the rally or you don’t go and that’s it, there’s no more. So, I pressed the little button to send me to the doctor. I went to sit there, to lean back on the bike and boom!, a group of Greeks appeared, hardworking people who were cleaning up the forests or I don’t know what. English, Italian or…? Spanish Oh, Spanish… Messi, Barça. Incredible people. I was quite excited, to be honest. And then, until they realized I was okay, they didn’t leave. And when they did, I stayed lying down waiting for the doctor. When the doctor arrived In a 4×4. I don’t know why I say “doctor” and not doctor. I went to get up and “no, no, no” And I was like “yes, I’m fine, I’m fine” No, don’t move. And nothing, he put me in the 4×4, gave me oxygen… I was fine, but oh well. The Hellas Rally organization is very good, really . They act quickly, they’re very professional. So, nothing, they took me to a town in the 4×4, put me in an ambulance. The ambulance took me to a small clinic, but they had X-rays . They did X-rays, I had nothing, they did an ultrasound, I had nothing. And after about two hours there, well, I was still in pain, but I took the ambulance to the bivouac. What a f*ck, kid! Phew! Are you okay? I’m fine, but it hurts a lot here, but I have nothing. I mean, they looked at me and looked at me, and I have nothing, but it hurts when they do it like this. I have the sensation that it’s muscular, because the bones are fine. But anyway, I’m going to take a shower and come to some conclusions later, because there are some. And anyway, I wanted to resume the trip with this video and this story because that crash, that accident, had consequences that I’m telling you about along the way, because I’ve resumed the trip, as I said, now I’ll tell you where and why. And we’ll see all of that after the header where we left off: Tucumán. CONSEQUENCES CHAPTER 46 What’s going on? Nothing. “Racatacatacata” (accelerator noise) Are we going to accelerate? Yes, I can accelerate, yes. But it’s ugly to accelerate in a city, isn’t it? Do you want to do a wheelie with this one? A “jaco.” I’ll leave it to you, or what? But it’s off, how are you going to give it “traratatata”? Besides, let’s see, what’s your name? Thiago. Yo, Carlos. Your name is? Gael. Gael. Mariano. Mariano, and? Max. Max. Perfect. So, do you think it’s polite, in a city where there ‘s an old man taking a nap, for me to start making noise? Or you? No, seriously, think about it. What are you saying? It’s okay. But hey, it’s okay because you’re playing, but the man is sleeping and we’re going to wake him up. But, just like that. No, no. You don’t care about anything, right? Yes (laughs). Do you have a YouTube channel? I have a YouTube channel. Yes, like it says here: Sinewan. What video do you make? I make videos of motorcycles, motorcycle trips. You might like it. Oh, how crazy, right? I think you say “Cancherito” here, right? (laughs). Make me famous by doing “willy.” Let’s see, come on, I’ll record you, come on. It’s good, eh! Next… let’s see . What’s up? What’s that for, buddy? The speedometer? No, this is the map, so I don’t get lost. What a machine you have! What’s the displacement, mate? 950, mate. What! 950, dude! That’s good, isn’t it? Bye, mate! Bye, mate, have fun, eh. Bye, kids, be careful, eh. Bye, man. The time has come. I’m not going to hit him, eh. The man is sleeping. Yeah, it does matter. Welcome to San Miguel de Tucumán, the fifth largest city in Argentina. Famous, I suppose, for many things, but especially or also because Argentina’s independence was declared here in the 19th century. I’ve been told that it was originally famous for its empanadas. And now, although empanadas are still famous, it’s becoming increasingly famous for its Milanese sandwiches, which are sandwiches, as we say in Spain, right? Sandwiches, which have a very thin Milanese, folded like this. And then they have all kinds of toppings, everything you want to put on it. How much does it hold? Not much, it depends on how much you’re in a hurry (laughs). Well, if you’re reading this, we’re in the middle of winter, and finally, I’ve decided that I’m going to try to get to Tierra del Fuego in winter. The accident in the rally had its consequences, and one of them is that I’ve decided that the first thing I have to do is focus on getting to Tierra del Fuego, even if it’s winter. And for that, well, I’ve equipped myself quite well. I’ve bought very winter clothing, winter camping clothes, and well, I’ve put this on it, a bit ugly, but practical to keep my hands protected. The bike is perfect after leaving Ducati. We’ve given “Ducatank” a little TLC at Ducati Tucumán, where, in addition to installing original bearings just as a precaution, it passed its due inspection. It wasn’t damaged at all; it just needed a service. What have we done? “Ducatank” needed to have its valves adjusted, which were fine. We adjusted the valves. We serviced it. Yes. The belt. Oil change, filters, the usual. Coolant. Perfect. I’ve kept the drivetrain kit because I think it’s fine. New chain guard. That’s right, the chain guard that had ruined it. Everything that happened was circumstantial and a result of lack of maintenance on my part. The cover, which was welded. It was very well welded, but it could have caused problems. Yes, I’ve changed all the bearings, front and rear. Mainly, I think the bearings went bad when I lost the nut and rode many kilometers with the axle that wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t running straight. Even if these things oscillate a little, they must have suffered more than expected. Besides, this thing has 115 horsepower and I hit the accelerator like there’s no tomorrow. That’s the rear axle at full speed, sand, dust, little maintenance, the chain taut for many kilometers, blah, blah, blah. So, I change the bearings. What else? What else? What else? Um, that’s it. And love, right? – The new chainrings. – That’s it. And another thing I changed are the tires, very important. And these ones I just put on, if all goes well, should make it to Tierra del Fuego. Okay, very well, guys. Give me a hug, you’ve been there for hours. Let the adventure continue, right? Exactly, exactly. Let it continue. Well, this also seems like the center, right? Pretty central. Right towards the province of Jujuy. Lots of police, right? In Tucumán. I finally leave Tucumán and head toward Santa María, a small town on the legendary Route 40, where I’ve decided to make a first stop and check that everything is working perfectly. Well, nothing, I have an hour left to Santa María, I’m already on Route 40, and tomorrow the real journey begins. Good morning from Santa María. How are you? The sun is out, at least. The sun is out, the sun is out, yes. We’re in Catamarca, and this town is called Santa María. I love this town. I don’t know why, this plaza. I resume the journey after a brief stop. We’re in the middle of Route 40, a route that’s like, I don’t know, 5,000 km, that runs from La Quiaca, on the border with Bolivia, to Tierra del Fuego. And this, in principle, is going to be, I don’t know if the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end; or the end of a round-the-world motorcycle tour in stages. Today I’m going to take it like a psychologist with a helmet, slowly, calmly. What I do want is for the last stretch to Tierra del Fuego. Try to get to Usuahia, then to Puerto Williams, and then as far south as I can by motorcycle and in winter. Or at least I’m going to try, until I finish, that is, to get to Tierra del Fuego. And from there, well, I don’t know what will happen, but that’s the minimum I can do. For myself, this trip around the world. Which doesn’t mean the end of this channel, or the end of traveling, or anything like that. I’m certainly not going to close this channel, nor am I going to stop traveling, but I don’t know how much, or how, or anything. We’ll see. But it is the end of a huge stage, almost 16 years. Obviously, the bike isn’t going to stay there, so the climb, well, it’s almost certainly going to be through the mountains, stitching the mountain range, which is what I had planned to do. But there was always a plan, a huge, generic, general plan. I’ll cross into Chile again, I’ll do the Austral, I’ll do sections of the Argentine mountain range that I won’t be able to do now, blah, blah, blah. The goal was to reach Tierra del Fuego, and that plan is now so close, it’s starting to become palpable. And if you’re up for it, we’ll see about it together. For now, I’m going to join Route 40, I’m going south. I’ve cut my hair, which means that every morning, I’ll show up with my hair however I want. And I need a gas station, I just realized. There’s Ducatank. There are my things, in that room. Excuse me, is there gas over there? – Yes, straight ahead. Thanks. Let’s go. This is Route 40. Look at it, there it is: Santa María Route 40, come on! The motorcycle, by the way, is really heavy, more than usual. It’s carrying too much weight in the back because I’ve prepared a lot for winter, plus everything I was carrying. I’ve tried to remove things, but I only removed a few and that’s it. And now to enjoy Argentina, Route 40. I don’t know if I’ll cross into Chile or not on the way down. The problem is that in Chile right now it’s not just cold, it’s raining a lot, and rain is very unpleasant for filming. So I don’t know, we’ll see. For now, the first objective is to get to Chilecito, which I hope to reach today. I’m going to ride on asphalt, reconnecting with Ducatank, with my overweight, and with my body as well, having not ridden a motorcycle for many weeks. A few days after the accident, and thinking I was almost fine, I decided to try motocross, cars, and pit bikes in Madrid, which led to a muscle injury in my back from which I still haven’t recovered. And although I’m fine, because my muscles get sore and suddenly they’re gone, I have some brutal muscle problems. I can live a normal life, and right now I could go crazy like there’s no tomorrow. The problem is, if I do that, I’ll never recover; and then another problem is that I might fall off the motorcycle and have to pick it up. Well, what I mean is, I have to fight against myself and the madness. Oh, how wonderful all this is, isn’t it? I have a completely absurd feeling, completely absurd, but I’ve had it my whole life; And the thing is, when I have muscle problems, which I’ve suffered from all my life, the bike feels good to me. Especially off-road, like the “clack, clack, clack” suits me. A very absurd theory, I know, but one we’ll soon be able to test because I’m heading to Chilecito, a city from where I’m going to attempt a very demanding route and where we’ll see how I feel. Well, I’m tired, eh, but we have to get used to it. Good night. Can I sit here? Chilecito is the second largest city in La Rioja, Argentina. Good and cold morning, from Chilecito . And although it’s currently linked to wine culture, it has a very important mining past, which is why I’m here because I want to try to reach the “La Mejicana” mine . And the spectacle of how hair grows in a different way every day. A very spectacular and demanding route in which, as I said before, I want to test both the team and my body. Now I’ll tell you, I have an important and quick mission to complete. It’s 7 degrees and 11 in the morning. No joke, eh? Let’s see, I’m going right here. I’m coming to Piky’s house. It’s here, I think. How are you? How are you, Piky? Fine, dear. Here’s your menu, pure gold. Don’t scold me. What’s this called? – Locro. Locro, good, spectacular. Thanks Piki. I’m going to try to camp and eat this for dinner. – It’s going to be very energetic. – Absolutely. Have a good trip. Thanks for everything. Bye. Well, phew, I’m waking up and getting warmed up. Piky is the mother of Santiago and Mariano , who are friends from Seba Adventure. And yesterday I had my first treat in Argentina, the first Argentine barbecue, truly at home. Well, a spectacle. Well, now yes: welcome, truly, to Argentina. First barbecue! With Mariano and Santi, say hello. Hello. Now yes, right? Now yes. Well, I’m in Chilecito. I arrived last night, as you saw. Honestly, the main reason for coming to Chilecito was this: to have barbecue. I still haven’t finished digesting it, I think. I ate like there was no tomorrow. Hello, how are you? How are you doing? Very well. And you? Where were you going? To the mine. To “La Mejicana”? To “La Mejicana”, yes. Look, because of the schedule, you can’t go to “La Mejicana.” Okay, but I can camp, right? In the “Ocre Canyon.” Perfect. Thank you, very kind. Now, we’re on the way to the “La Mejicana” mine, which I think I’ll climb tomorrow, and today I’m going to camp. Well, I’ll tell you the story of “La Mejicana” mine tomorrow, or maybe tonight, but basically it’s a gold mine. From the mine, there was a very long cable, I think one of the longest in the world, down which the gold was brought down, and blah, blah. And this is the road that goes up for vehicles, which was quite broken. Further up, there are several stations, I think 8 or 9. And the highest of all, which I don’t know if it’s 8 or 9, is at 5,400 m. Incorrect. The highest station, I think, is at 4,600 m. We’ll check it tomorrow, but for whatever reason, right now I think it’s around 5,000 m, so okay. So it’s a bit late to go up, and above all, I’m not acclimatized to the altitude. So, if today I could sleep around 3,000 m and also camp, because a lot of the camping gear is new, and that way I can test it out too. I’ll tell you all that. And I also have to see how I feel, because I haven’t ridden a motorcycle for a long time. In the morning, in bed, my shoulders and arms hurt a lot. During the day, when it warms up, they don’t. But of course, I haven’t done any kind of hard trail for a while. This is starting to get stingy, nothing serious, but since I’m rusty, it’s a kind of reunion with the hard trails. “La Mejicana,” on the left. How nice! I’m going to relax because it’s been a long time since I rode a motorcycle, remember? And you’re on a path, well, it’s nothing special, but the rock is loose and I’m really excited. It’s impossible, right? I can’t even go slow. How crazy! Let’s see what happens here… Second. Back crossing. Phew! Oh. Little sand and downhill. All wrong. I’m carrying too much pressure for sand. First little dip. Nicely saved. This starts to go up again. Phew! Come on, come on, come on, Ducatank. Second. This is getting really pretty. Phew! But, for example, ohh! Shit! I’ve gone where I didn’t want to go. This curve is already a bit difficult, to be honest. “Los Pesebres.” Ah, look, this… Uh, how pretty! Pretty, isn’t it? These stones of different colors, very typical, I think, of northern Argentina, right? Like the hill of seven colors or Purmamarca, which I never know if it’s a hill, I always get confused, but oh well. It’s the Cerro de los Siete Colores, not the hill. I have a goldfish memory. Wow, how beautiful! And I think it’s time to start thinking about camping. I’m starting to reach a good altitude to camp and acclimatize. Let’s see, there’s something there. What’s it at? 2,800 m. Not a bad place, huh? Hi. Are you Charly? Yes. Where did you leave Virginia? Of course, you liked Virginia more than me, don’t be a pain. Of course, of course. Have you fixed the bearings? Yes. Yesterday I was watching a video of you racing in Spain, I don’t know what. Yeah, it gave me a good f*ck, yes, sir (laughs). Hey, how’s the road? Is there a lot of ice or not? No Nothing, right? I’m looking for a place to camp, because I don’t want to go up today, I want to go up tomorrow . Should I camp here? Yes . There, next to the house. Is that the best option? There’s nowhere better up there? There is, but at 3,800 m. 3,800 m? Yes, that’s a lot. And besides, 3,800 m, I’m not acclimatized, I’m not going to sleep well. No, you’re not going to sleep. Nobody passes by here and nobody bothers me, right? No, not at all. Lean against the house. There’s the house. Yes . And there’s a wall. Yes. Stand on this side. And why there, because of the wind or what? Of course, because it’s coming from the south. Oh, of course, it’s coming through the canyon. It won’t freeze tonight either, right? It doesn’t look like it, right? It was 6 degrees. Let’s see. 4, 3, 1, 0, uh, zero! Let’s see, go on, go on… -2, -3 What a pain! Tent or just a bag? I have a tent and a bag, very good one. I just left here at 9, Charly. In the morning, up? At 9, because otherwise the whole river will be frozen. Not at 9 for me, a little later, right? So it’ll be less cold. And, at 11 in the morning it’ll be 3 degrees. Ah, that, that’s my time. At 11. Is the highest station at 8 or 9? Both, they’re almost the same. What I would recommend, if you’re going up to 8: Yes . Take all the weight off the bike. No, I don’t trust leaving it there just in case. No, it’s not a big deal. I know it’s 1 in 1000, but if that 1 in 1000 happens to be the same, it’ll ruin my trip. Or do something, if a pickup truck goes, give it to them, because they’ll probably do the 9, they won’t do the 8 for you. I want to do the 8. Of course, but that’s why I’m telling you, you can’t go up with this. And here you don’t have any space to pack the bike. I mean, there’s no inertia. Exactly. That’s it! Oh, and on top of that, it’s going in an “S,” uhh! Perfect. Well, I’m going to camp there at the little house. Hey, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I put the bike behind the house because the guides told me there were two local bikes left to go down. Everyone’s nice, obviously, but it’s better not to be seen. And while they’re going down, I’m going to eat a piece of sausage I bought at the gas station. Alan, I’m from Córdoba. Carlos, nice to meet you. So, what are you selling me? Homemade sausage from Córdoba. Come on, I’d buy more, but I just can’t fit it. And the cheese looks spectacular too, right? And I’m going to get firewood for tonight. The kid was selling it and I said, “No, I mean, no, it can’t be true.” It’s going to be difficult to find firewood, right? There’s no big firewood. When I run out of fire, I’ll go to sleep. Let’s see, how many sticks do I collect and how long will they last? Let’s get firewood. There are sticks, but they’re very small. This lasts a minute or less. And there’s nothing big enough to say, “Look, there’s firewood, bam!” Nothing. So nothing, patience, that’s the real science . The motorcycles are coming. Anything they want to stop here, of course. Here they come. It would be a… they wanted to camp, right? There they go . They haven’t seen me. Okay, so nothing, I’m going to put up the tent. I’m at 2,800 m. It’s a good time to acclimatize because the mine is at 4,000 m and something. I think there’s a path that goes up to 5,100 m, which I might try tomorrow, depending on my physical condition and all. And anyway, it’s -3 degrees tonight, so I won’t have much of a problem because I bought gear that can withstand temperatures up to -15, so I have a -30 sleeping bag… I guess -30 isn’t comfortable, but, I mean, I actually think I’m going to be hot today. I’m going to show you everything I bought, all the new toys. No unnecessary advertising here, okay? In case anyone thinks otherwise. Well, first up is the floor. This is a floor I already had before, right? This is a tent my friend Javier Bicicleting recommended to me , he cycled to Usuahia in winter. It’s a Japanese tent, I bought it online. This is the flysheet. This is the first roof. And these are the poles. And over there are the pegs. Very quick to put up, very comfortable. Pegs that weigh nothing. And let’s see how durable they are, right? Okay, I’ve already broken the first one… I haven’t broken any more. If I do it slowly, they don’t break. Look, the tent brand is this one. Free advertising. Okay, now I’m going to put the roof up top. Okay, next. The next thing I bought, which is very cheap, is one of those blankets that we unfortunately see when there’s an accident. This is… I must be making a horrible noise… Okay, I’ll take it off and explain it to you now. Okay, this is a thermal blanket. We should always carry it on the motorcycle. I take it to put it underneath for insulation, and I put the mattress on top. The mattress is the same. All that’s left is to inflate the pillow at the bottom, and that whole piece is left to put things on. And the jewel in the crown is the -30 sleeping bag from Mountain Equipment. I’m going to have plenty of sleeping bags everywhere today, but it’s planned for Tierra del Fuego, where it’s going to be very cold. Okay, let’s go inside. Well, that’s all the new gear I’m bringing for winter and for the cold on the bike. What I’m wearing are these Revit gloves that have a “power bank” inside, and you go “click, click, click” and they heat up. Some socks I bought on Amazon, which are the same, also have a battery, and then I bought an undersuit, also with a battery. It’s to withstand the cold, obviously, in case it gets really, really cold. The problem is that I’m carrying a lot of cargo and I’m heavier and bulkier. But, as the gurus would say, choosing is resigning. As soon as the sun goes down, it’s going to be cold, I’m going to get out the stew that’s thawing there and eat. And then I’m going to bed soon. This log is the only one here that’s halfway decent. And that’s it, I’m building a pyramid. Let’s see if it starts. There it goes, there it goes. Come on, come on… It starts, beautiful! Come on! “Perfectus” Oh, it’s pulling really well, isn’t it? I’m going to put on the gas, but obviously I’m going to step away from the fire. You imagine I’m going to explode here live. It’s still daylight, but it’s already cold. What a great plan, right? How incredible, how lucky, right? And now comes the highlight: this is called locro, and Piky made it. No joke. No joke, eh? Look, look, look, look, look. It has pumpkins, beans, it has some meat that I don’t know what it is. This looks spectacular. I think I’ve done everything perfectly today, or at least for now. Well, with this little fire we’re going to eat. Thanks, Piki. Wow, kid, it’s warm, this is warm, eh? How delicious! I’m burning , how wonderful! Right? The pumpkin. Maybe it has carrots too. Piky, I don’t know what it has, but it’s spectacular. How good, isn’t it? What a place. How wonderful. It’s cold already, huh? Now it is! Tomorrow morning, when it starts to cool off, I’m going to try to climb the “Mexicana” mine, which is at about 4,600 m. It was a mine that the Germans exploited. They built a cable car, I don’t know what it’s called, 35 km long with nine stations where they brought down mostly gold, but I think silver and copper too. The mine has been closed for quite some time now. I don’t know if it’s been like 100 years now . So, well, tomorrow I’ll go up there with a fully loaded bike and see what I find. The internet is full of legends about this mine, and they’re quite amusing. I have many, but I’m going to read some. Ghosts and spirits of the cable car. There are numerous stories about ghosts at the old stations. There are stories of metallic noises at night, lights floating in the towers, and silhouettes of miners who seem to still be working on the mountain. Cursed Treasure of “The Mexican” Hm… treasure, this might interest me, let’s see… It’s believed that gold bars were hidden in sealed tunnels. Those who tried to recover them heard pickaxes and voices underground, and some claim to have seen ghostly hands emerging from the rock. How it scared me! A spark jumped and I saw a light. This one, this one, this one coming up is great: The Phantom Caravan. Muleteers claim to see illuminated wagons coming down the cables as if the miners were still transporting gold at night. Well, if they come down here, let me have a little bit, right? To finance the trip. Anyway, with this I say goodbye until tomorrow and I’ll tell you tomorrow morning. If for whatever reason I hear noises, I’ll wake up to tell you, but for now I’m going to enjoy the fire, the solitude, and also brush my teeth. See you tomorrow. I didn’t even need a lighter. We have coffee. It’s really late. I got caught up cleaning up, so I’m a bit cramped going up, but I’ll try. Anyway, everything’s clean. I leave the trash hanging there and pick it up on the way down because if I’m carrying it hanging, sometimes I drop it and it’s worse. So on the way down, I grab it. Let’s go. Go. Let’s go to the mine. Well, the consequences of the accident were, on the one hand, physical because although at first I was practically painless, after two weeks I was back to normal life. I went to motocross class with Matías Nilson, we had lunch afterwards and went to the Cars; the Menajeno guys have also opened an electric “fit bike” track at the X Madrid. They invited me and I was there like the enthusiast that I am. I was also on the V4, with the Multiestrada at Motorland, which wasn’t much of an effort because it was on the road, but hey, I lived a normal life and all that led to a muscle injury much worse than the one in my rib. Shoulders, arms, this whole area here, to protect the rib, the body should be hunched over and I’m being brutal, plus I haven’t ridden a motorcycle for many weeks, without going off-road and without doing anything. Physically, I’ve tried to stay at a somewhat low speed, which was the only thing I could do, but I’m not very fit. That’s the first consequence of the crash, which , considering the crash, was nothing, honestly. And the other is that I’ve decided that I’m not going to do any more rallies this year, 2025. I’m going to dedicate it to getting to Tierra del Fuego in the winter. We’re 4,000 km away on Highway 40. We’ll see where I end up, but that’s the idea: to get to Tierra del Fuego. And then, next year, 2026, I have to decide what to do with my life. One: stop doing rallies and keep traveling. Two: keep traveling and do some rallies, but without recording them. And arriving at the rally well prepared physically and mentally, without having to edit episodes of the trip, blah, blah, blah. Even stopping the channel for two weeks if necessary, going to the rally, enjoying it, and then coming back. And the third option is to stop traveling for a year and dedicate the entire year to the rally channel and rallies. That is, prepare myself physically and mentally, learn to compete, focus on that, and share it with all of you. I know that many of you here on the travel channel don’t like that, but it wouldn’t be definitive either, it would be a year. Keep in mind that I’ve been away from traveling for 16 years, so taking a year off from traveling isn’t going to do anything, right? And then coming back and continuing the rest of the trip. Let’s see, Rio. Whatever it is, we’ll see after arriving in Tierra del Fuego, which I hope will be in the next few weeks, as long as I don’t get myself into too much trouble. Rio Rio, the same thing the whole time. I mean, just the opposite of what I’m doing right now. ***, which is for the river, right? Which is climbing a pretty demanding road with the bike more loaded than ever with winter gear and recovering from a back injury after the accident. What could go wrong? TO BE CONTINUED

Retomamos el viaje donde lo dejamos, en Tucumán, pero con SECUELAS después de darme el mayor golpe de mi historia en moto, lo que tendrá que ver en hacia donde me dirijo finalmente. Regresan los domingos SINEWANEROS, la novela motera…
Gracias por la espera
