South America on KTM 950's

Follow Jay and Jamal's 2010 trip through Central and South America.

I travel around the Southwestern United States and Baja Mex whenever I get another paycheck exploring ghost towns, mines, and native American ruins mostly.
Sometimes I take my KTM 450EXC and most of the time I take my Toyota 4runner. It's a low budget everyman's take on "overlanding."

While up mountains at 5000m, it is unwise to make massive, life-changing plans. The lack of oxygen may well be affecting you. So if you decide suddenly to go on a round-the-world adventure on a 21yr old motorbike for a year or more, think Very Carefully. Or just do it.

Circumnavigating South America on a 200cc motorcycle may be quite a challenge. Here I'll log all the details of this adventure including the initial months of research and preparation needed for the trip as well as smaller "test rides" to different locations in Peru.

Nate & Arno's adventures through Central and South America...

One month into a 22,000 mile trip from Alaska to Argentina. My Suzuki V-Strom travelling with 17 BMW GS'. Will the BMW's make it?

Every other marriage in the UK ends in divorce.
Mike and Alanna got married 6 months ago, and have set out from Alaska to head to Patagonia on a Ural Tourist T motorbike and sidecar, to find out how to stay together for life. On the way, they are meeting couples to get their love stories and advice on what it takes to go the distance. In addition to this, they have met with various internationally renowned scientists who believe they can pinpoint the scientific secrets of love - and they've put their own love to the test (brain-scans, DNA tests, heart-rate monitors, etc). Only when they get to the end of thew road will they find out the predictions of these scientists. And if the findings suggest they will stay together, then they will renew their vows in the church at the end of the world.
As they travel south, they are meeting couples who embody the stories of the places which we are travelling through. In Alaska alone they have met a Russian Old Believers couple from the Kenai Peninsula living in the old tradition, a hippy couple in Girdwood, a homestead couple near Fairbanks, a former national downhill skier, a young urban couple in Anchorage and a Native Alaskan couple who have been married for 32 years, a trapper in Fairbanks, an Iditerod musher, and in Dawson City, they met a goldminer of 30 years (married for 64 years!). They attended a wedding on De Courcy island of a local Vancouver artist, and met with a gay couple who adopted a son, in Vancouver. Each of these couples has their own unique take on love, what makes relationships work - and the kind of things we can do and to go the distance.
