I had arranged to go back to Dakar Motos in order to take the bike across the border with Stephen and now I am going back to sort out a big mess as now I have to figure out what to do with my motorbike. We made a list of the things wrong with it.

1.missing back indicators and brake light
2.pannier racks are broken
3.1 panniers dented, 1pannier repaired or replaced
4.tail rack is bent
5.subframe slightly twisted (just the bit that goes over the rack)
6.handlebars took an impact and the front forks misaligned (need to loosen the triple clamps and straighten the forks)
7.speedo needs to be replaced
8.the windscreen broke
9.headlight moved a little bit

The cost of shipping it back to the UK is expensive and it would be hard to sell for parts as they don’t have DR650s in Argentina.
