Has it changed ?? WOW !! YES !! A LOT....
Back in the 00's, the moto travellers were few and far between. We all stayed in touch via email and the Hubb. People rode XT600's, R80GS and Africa Twins.
There were cool Overlander hangouts like Dakar Motos and Norton Rats. It was a great community. You would stop on the road if you saw another moto traveller.
No more...
There are SO MANY more tourists now. Because travel is so easy. And ADV biking is so popular. There are so many more big 1250GS types on tour groups. And thousands of the richer locals travelling on big bikes too. All of South America is more touristic and developed.
People don't stop anymore. It's just like riding in Europe. You nod or wave. There are just too many other riders to stop.
