Motorcycling on one's own is perhaps never wise, but often it is inevitable. There was a time when I intentionally scouted routes alone, but I have since learned how much more enjoyable it is to share the experience, good or bad, with others.
For five years running, the BMW Biker Meeting has been a huge success in Garmisch, Germany, and for three years in the Vale de Aran, Spain, both of which I was fortunate to have enjoyed attending this past year. Having selected Mendoza, Argentina, for this big weekend event, BMW was surely starting something great in South America. So what would possibly keep my fellow BMW bikers
Long lonesome story (hard trip) short, my last stop before reaching the BMW event was Cordoba. Once home to Che Guevara and the site of one of the oldest universities in the Americas, Cordoba is now Argentina's second largest city. The Universidad de Cordoba's Law School sits across a walkway from the "Jesuit Block," which in 2000 was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Within that block is the University's administration, the Monserrat High School (open since 1614), and the Company of Jesus church, Argentina's oldest (1640).
