But much more “douchbag-y”
The ultimate Motorcycle Diaries experience! Now you can tour Cuba by bike with Che Guevara’s son.
The son of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara is preparing to launch a motorcycle tour company.
Ernesto Guevara has set up La Poderosa Tours, which will begin offering travellers trips around Cuba later this month.
The 49-year-old, whose father famously undertook an 8,000-mile motorcycle journey across South America in 1952, will run trips for bikers on two routes across Cuba using Harley-Davidson motorbikes.
The company also includes Mr Guevera’s childhood friend Camilo Sanchez a fellow lawyer who shares his passion for motorbikes.
Mechanic Sergio Morales makes up the trip running the company, which offers five night, six-day from £1,900 ($2,970) and nine-day tours from £2,750 ($4,296).
The son of a Marxist revolutionary has to resort to Capitalism for a living.
His father would have people brought into La Cabana for doing that. I certainly hope that isn’t lost on him.
Also using imperialist capitalist pig motorcycles instead of fine upstanding, socialist-produced motorbikes.
If I recall, Che used some kind of bicycle-motorcycle conversion on his tour, not a purpose-built motorbike. But “Bicycle with low-power motor Diaries” ain’t as sexy.
Really more like “The MoPed Diaries” – Or Diuretics – but he was not a “biker” by any stretch of the imagination, except for the *Kill Innocent People* part, which even Sonny Barger of the Hells Angel’s wasn’t really for all that much.
I say, let ’em enjoy the ride.
Just so long as it ends the same way Che Guevera did.
