They set off from all corners of the earth (Houston and Sharjah anyway,) to meet in Cordoba, Argentina on Tuesday, 9th December. The first two to arrive dropped bags and immediately set off on a test run, resulting in mechanical failure after 50kms... Undaunted by this and rain, thunder and lightening, the third to arrive dusted off his moth-eaten motorbike license and went to exchange it for a shiny new one. One theory test, one road test and a slightly shaken bald biker is ready to roll. Once his bike comes back from the workshop...
The Ferrari boys (Jorge, Eduardo and Luis) have undertaken the trip of a lifetime and in a few short days (after Belgrano play at home on Saturday) they are foregoing cosy family Christmases for the dirt, tarmac, rain and possibly snow, of South Argentina. Keep checking this blog for exclusive updates and photos (anyone know a decent photographer in the area???) and all news Ferrari.
Update just in: Ive got the bike now and driving it, a bit temperamental in town but very good on open roads!!!! we are trying to leave in a couple of days but there are all kind of celebrations and barbecues organized and perhaps will be difficult to leave before saturday or sunday. It has been raining too... Jorge
ReplyDeleteShame - you'll have to stay for the match then!! SS
Jorge has just left the house. He spend like... an hour trying to turn on (I don't know how to say this) the bike. Hehe so funny, later I'll upload the video I tape with my mobile of that moment.
