Yesterday, seven out of seven wanted to observe a day of mourning in memory of the first real biker in history. Alberto Granado, the traveling companion of Ernesto "Che" Guevara in what later became the historic journey in motion by telling the same pen in the diary of Che "Latin American", then brought to the big screen in the film by Walter Salles 'The Motorcycle Diaries "has been taking off yesterday at his home in Cuba, to' age of 88. A journey that, in addition to changing the lives and destinies of the two boys who undertook, has in fact changed the history of contemporary art, influencing Ernesto Guevara to such an extent that it becomes the myth that we all know. I wonder if, without the friendship of Albert and his "Poderosa II", a Norton 500 already reached the retirement age at the time of the trip, which would have made the same choices that led him to sacrifice, and lose their lives fighting to change the world or, simply, Argentina could only add a doctor to his professional body. The intensity and significance of that experience was for both can be seen from Granado's own words that, after fifty years, still often told anecdotes and episodes of that, passing through Chile, Peru and Venezuela, did not lead the two Friends on the edge of the state of Mexico, but the goal of maturity. And if they decided to use that mature in different ways, first as we all know, the second devoted to the care of what was then a plague of those territories, leprosy, both dedicated the lives of those places so difficult to cross in the early '50s and their radicatisi donarvisi so much to all my life completely. What that Albert wanted to do until the end, wishing that the ashes were scattered in the countries that saw him riding his beloved, who met his end during the journey, along with faithful companion. A final worthy of the best screenplay, but we know that the reality often exceeds the imagination. "First we wanted to know the world, then we decided to change it ..." E 'with your own words you want to remember and to say hello, we find that the appropriate way to wish "Happy Journey" maybe on the side of his ever.
Hello Alberto.

Walter Salles said in 2003 their adventure in the film "The Motorcycle Diaries" , although Alberto Granado told more often than episodes and anecdotes about their fascinating and endless experience .
Their journey through Chile, Peru and Venezuela allowed the two boys to know so well the reality of those places to breathe its deepest essence. And he will give his all to those lands himself, as he had already done in life through its proximity and its continued work as a doctor to those people in need: the his ashes will be scattered just in those three nations that have given so much to him. adventure with social and political connotations of a romance writer that no one would have imagined better. Even in the final.
