Day starts off with a simple 70k into Buenos Aires, that's all. Nothing fancy.
I use Richard "macGuyver" Cuninghams portable air pump to inflate the flat tyre.
The problem returns after 30k with a large bubble. How long can it last?
About 25k. So close and so faaaarrgghh!!
I use gaffer tape in desperation
I get anothe 2k but I'm on a 6 lane motorway doing 3mph on the hardshiukder wobbling everywhere.
Find the gomeria (tyre man). Can't fix it
Eventually i manage to do the tow of shame out of the neighbourhood for the last 10k to Daka Motos.
It's been a long day and I've aged considerably

That's the second tyre gone this week. This time it did pop. 12k from my final destination.

I'm stuck in a neighbourhood in Buenos Aires called "Malvinas Argentinas". Just ridden (the wrong way) at 3 mph, to find some mechanics.....

Extra Time! After weeks speaking to Brazilian importing / exporting companies, it seems that the "simplest" (the most certain, cheapest, least bureaucratic), way to get the sidecar back to London is out of Buenos Aires! What's another 2,500k on the clock? Cheerio Rio!!
