Thanks for the help everyone. We are in a little town called "9 de Julio" (Argentina's independence day). From Cerro Sombrero, we rode to the ferry and from the ferry rode to Osorno.
Troy: we did indeed stop at Motoadventura for Chains. Not only that they had latches for my side case I destroyed in the accident! Score!!!! Great place.
Gravel G: I had almost 19,000 miles on this chain and it was toast. The mechanic we saw in Puerto Natales, said I would be lucky to get another 100 kilometers on it.
Rob: A belated Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
After Osorno, we crossed into Argentina, heading to Buenos Aires and are making some time. Central Argentina isn't very scenic. The day before yesterday we rode over 600 miles. Yesterday, we did have another problem. My bike (it seems I must have the lemon of the two) started coughing and spitting again, like it did in Santiago. We spent three and a half hours on the side of the road changing out the fuel filter.
But the silver lining was that we found this great hotel, called Cla Lauquen in 9 de Julio, about 160 miles from Buenos Aires. The hotel is owned and run by a father and son, and has only been open for a couple months. For $50 each, we got a great room, a GREAT steak dinner, a bottle of wine and two beers, eat your hearts out.
I will try to post more, but as many of you know, posting conflicts with riding.
