Mecaniqueando

The routine for the last couple of days has been breakfast, work on bikes, lunch, work on bikes, dinner. The last group rode the bikes from Pucón to Ushuaia which is about 2500 km. The bikes arrived to Ushuaia ready for some fresh tires, oil, filters and other small fixes. The idea is to have the bikes in tip top shape for the customers arriving here on March 10th. That means we have from now 'til then to replace anything that needs replacement. Yesterday we started with cleaning air filters, air boxes and chains. Today we replaced, worn out tires, the steering head bearings on one of the bikes and we flushed out brake fluid and put in fresh brake pads on another bike. Tomorrow we will be doing oil changes and taking the support vehicle to the shop for a brake job and tuning.

We are hoping the weather continues to be as amazing as yesterday and today, the locals say it is very unusual to have such sunny days this time of the year. So if the weather trend continues, tomorrow we will be lucky enough to keep working under clear and sunny skies.
