Son of Che Guevara to start motorcycle tours of Cuba


You can start your own Motorcycle Diaries later this month, when Che Guevara's youngest son starts offering trips on bikes through Cuba.
Ernesto Guevara's La Poderosa Tours will take motorcycle enthusiasts on two different routes, the Telegraph reports. The tours will include riding on Harleys past huge murals of Che and visits to the Comandancia del Che museum and his mausoleum in Santa Clara. "I have been a fan of classic Harleys all my life and I like to restore them, too," Ernesto Guevara, 49, told the Telegraph. "My love of bikes, of bike trips, and of Cuba, and the desire to show my fellow Harley bikers my beautiful country, has been the reason for setting up the tours."
