Just Between Mad-Max and Che Guevara
.
Last year we mentionned Motonetas Picantes social club, based in Argentina in Martinez in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Those guys have a certain weakness for italian machines of the 60's, which are really popular in Argentina where they have been imported and built under licence.
They regularly meet in their place and ride between friends. This is the life, isn't it!
This winter things have changed and so did the machines... Guys baught and tuned more powerful machines expecting a trip in the north of the country, here are the pictures.
As I write this post, Federico and guys of Motonetas prepare for the "Big Trip" that is to say the one that leads to the extreme south of the continent : "Tierra del Fuego", "Ushuaia" to "Bahia Blanca".
We wish them a very good trip !
Federico Lozada:
"We departed in a private plane towards the north of Argentina, which is the limit of our country with Bolivia, the highest point of the trip was at 4500 mts above the sea level.
Our first stage was from La Quiaca to La Rioja, and our idea is to join the whole country by riding from north to south in our motorcycles. In the way we take basic elements and food to rural schools who are in need.
In Las Salinas in the North we made the campaign for the Herencia Argentina brand, taking as a concept the Bonneville races."

Club de Motonetas Picantes
.
The first time we saw these pictures by Federico, we were amazed by the strong identity of their "Motonetas Picantes" club. This is the place where it's not about the horse power but about the Power of Pleasure. Here, check it out by yourself !

The CMP is a club of friends who ride motorcycles by their zone: Martinez, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Since 2003 this has been the club's assignment. We use Italian motorcycles which have been manufactured in our country, therefore when we started no one wanted them and it was a pleasure for us to be able to ride a 1958 motorcycle and to know that any replacement which was needed could be found in any part's shop at an excellent price.
It was when we got tired of our original motorcycles that we created the CMP | RDV (racing division) to be able to race with the old custom bikes we assembled. We are waiting for some day having our fixture to achieve that, since until now our races have been secret, out on the street and in different places, we don't have a stable circuit.
We gather every Tuesday of the year in a small neighborhood restaurant whose owner is one of our founder associates.
We go out to the route when we arrive to an agreement, which does not happen often lately, but we consider this is only a moment within the 7 years that we have as a club.
A few years ago started the idea of making a line of clothing and accessories for riding vintage racing motorcycles.
Nowadays we offer some limited edition leather jackets, epoch shirts and soon vintage helmets and accessories which are sold online.
Bienvenidos al mundo de los picantes!
