LA VERDAD de VIVIR 7 AÑOS en la CARRETERA: LO BUENO y lo DURO – 1 PARTE -Vuelta al mundo en moto

LA VERDAD de VIVIR 7 AÑOS en la CARRETERA: LO BUENO y lo DURO – 1 PARTE -Vuelta al mundo en moto

A few people have come to tell us their travel stories, specifically their motorcycle travel stories, which is what we do. The first time I heard about Vicente wasn’t on social media; it was through a mutual friend. I didn’t have social media before the trip. Exactly. I didn’t even have social media, and it was through José Macías from Towca Granada, known to his friends as Piliki. We both know him from the same thing, from riding around, a lovely person. Since he lived in Granada, I’ve hung out with him a lot, actually. And he told me, “No, no, a friend of mine has bought a motorcycle and is going to travel around the world.” And then we saw that it turned out he really did go around the world, because many people buy a motorcycle with the intention of doing so, and many actually do it. That’s a different story, isn’t it? That’s the difficult part. That ‘s the difficult part. Buying the motorcycle was the easy part. Then I started seeing it on social media, and a few years ago, with David and the people from… what were they called again, the medical team? Oh, yeah, Rescue Bike . They came there. I carried a defibrillator for a while, but in the end, since I didn’t have a heart attack, I stopped because of a deal you made. Of course, now I don’t even carry a first-aid kit, I don’t carry anything, not even some plasters. It didn’t shock you. You did a first-aid course. Exactly, with Fernanda, there at our Diputación premises, where I see that the whole first-aid kit thing didn’t shock you much, and you said, “Hey, I’m going to do it right now.” It’s like you start taking things off at the end, when you start a trip you start loading up, loading up, loading up, and then you say, “Damn, if I’m riding in a trailer, how am I going to carry all this?” And you start tying it all down, right? And you start packing things, and then you realize you don’t need so much. But of course, the “just in case” factor, it ‘s like when you’re doing renovations, right? The “just in case” factor, you know, the “just in case” factor is what you should always avoid when traveling, especially for women, it’s true. It’s true. You carry a hairdryer, a straightener, and all that stuff takes up a lot of space, right? I think, I don’t know, but I’ve noticed this a lot of couples who carry more things than the woman. I heard Laya Sanz say that about the trips she took with Arcarons, she’d say, “No, no, he carries more creams, more lotions, and stuff than I do.” I swear to God. No, it’s just that we also order tools, and this, and they usually foist it all on you. Perfect. You’re defending him, huh? Well, that’s all. I just wanted to welcome you. I’ll leave you with Isabel, who is the heart and soul of all these days and all these talks, and especially with Vicente, who is the one we want to tell us something, because in seven years I think you must have some stories to tell about more than seven years, so I’m going to give you a little background. Okay, I’ll leave you here. Vicente has been traveling for more than seven years. His channel, I imagine all of you here follow him. He’s just changed the name, but he says he’ll change it again. I’ve put this here temporarily. Yes. He’s from Valencia and lives in Paraguay and Brazil, right? Yes, yes, I’m international. And soon in Dubai too. He’s traveled to 73 countries, more than 1 million kilometers in his life, and on this trip, about 240,000. More than 240,000. Since I left more than seven years ago, 240,000 km on an Africa Twin, almost all of them on the Africa Twin. Then it’s true that I have my BMW here, which some of you have already seen, and I take that out when I arrive in Spain too. Since I can’t stay still, everyone says to me, “Are you crazy?” No, I mean, now instead of resting you take the motorcycle. And I say, well, the truth is, you already know, what am I going to tell you that you don’t already know, right? I think we’ll see a photo later showing the whole trip he’s taken. Thanks. Uh, the trip he’s taken in Europe and Asia. He’s done Europe, uh, yes, Europe, all of Asia, that was fast. And then all of Asia, now the motorcycle is in Thailand, entering through the Middle East, well, all of it, right? Kuwait, Iraq, uh, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, well, notice a detail, but very slowly, uh, I travel very slowly. Exactly. There it is. Taking advantage of Isabel’s data, she says 240,000 km in 7 years. Sure, there are people who get stuck in a three-month place where I’m here. I’m leaving Spain now, and I’ll spend those four months in Asia, where I am. Have you seen anything? He averages less than 80 km a day. It’s something we always see here. Long-distance travelers cover short daily distances. Short-distance travelers cover long daily distances. Of course, because you want to see everything in the month or two of vacation you have. And I always advise against it, that it’s better, you know? Right now, for example, I’m coming from Belarus. I arrived yesterday, and I took a trip that I don’t like, which is [ __ ] the motorbike, going straight to Belarus, and even then, it takes me a month to spend several days there because if I go at my own pace, it takes me three months to get to Belarus. So, a curious thing is that the other day I called him on the phone or on WhatsApp, I don’t know. I said, “Where are you?” He says, “No, I’m already near home. And where were you? In Serbia. In Serbia with Romania. Yes. Well, I’m already near home. And then you talk to someone here. I’m already in Madrid, I’m super far away. I don’t know the difference between a seasoned traveler and someone who travels long distances, you know? You get the concept, distances aren’t the same. So, of course, whenever you start a trip, like I mentioned before, right? Which is that when you have little time, which is the biggest problem we all have, right? I don’t have that problem now, but I’ve had it too, like you, obviously, and you want to see a lot of places in a very short space of time and that, for me, is a mistake, but of course, everyone does what they want. You want to go on a motorcycle and you don’t care, right? Like if you start riding around the block, but if you want to travel, get to know a country, I always advise, “What, you want to go, I don’t know, to Denmark?” Well, go to Denmark quickly if you want and stay in Denmark, well, a month. Then you’ll get to know the country a little. You’re not going to know it completely in a month, but you’ll start to connect with people, you’ll talk, but when you’re here today, there tomorrow, what’s the problem ? Don’t you grasp the concept of travel? I mean, a traveler who’s in a hurry, I say to him, “Tell me about this place.” And he doesn’t remember. We’ll just drop it, right? Oh, well, no. Come on, keep going, I’m rambling. Anyway, thanks to everyone for being here. It’s all Pao’s fault, that crazy guy, who’s determined to make a living from this and he’s going to succeed. I say crazy because, to be honest, bikers are treated a bit like they’re crazy, aren’t they? Because people who don’t like motorcycles or don’t understand them say, “Come on, this guy’s an idiot.” I mean, instead of having a car where he can keep it warm, you know, he doesn’t get wet, he doesn’t get cold, he doesn’t get hot in his suit, and on top of that when He crashes and he’s desperate to get back on his bike. So, of course, they just don’t understand. It’s also true that it’s logical, and in many countries the problem is that people who own motorcycles do so because they can’t afford a car. I mean, they usually walk; having a bicycle already gives them status, then there are the motorcyclists who use them for everything, and then there are the car drivers. Of course, when they see you with a motorcycle, and in those countries it’s worth more because the taxes are higher, they don’t get it. “You stayed here, this crazy guy, with a motorcycle when you could have come in a car, right?” Because they’re desperate, they ride motorcycles because they have no other choice. What they really want is a car because, well, on the motorcycle, there’s the mother, the father, the child, the Holy Spirit, and all the cargo, right? I’m quite old now, and it reminds me a lot of Spain, especially in the 70s. My father, I remember he had a Vespa, he had a BSA, he loved motorcycles too, he couldn’t afford a car either. And then he bought a Vespa With a sidecar, and we’d go to a village in Teruel in the summer because my mother is from there. And how did we go? Well, we went. My father drove the motorcycle, my sister, who was two years older than me, sat in front holding on, my mother was in the back, she carried me in her arms, and my grandmother rode in the cargo seat with all the gear and everything, without a helmet, of course. And off we went. So, of course, when I go to other countries and see it, I say, “Damn, that’s how Spain was.” It was a while ago, but that’s how it was, and those of you who are more or less this age know it, right? Now, well, of course, you end up in the newspaper if they see you like that, right? And well, I don’t know, I’m not going to talk to you about my trip, the whole trip, because we could be here for a year, but I am going to talk a little about what I think you’d all like to do, right? Which is to have time and travel. And what do you have to do for that? Of course, when you want to ask me something, interrupt me, ask me on the spot. Okay. Do you have a script? No, no, I’m going off on a tangent. Uh, I was just looking at the photos, so I don’t know. Just let it flow, let it flow, you’re talking. Oh, sorry, I just had a question. Is this the first time you’ve decided to leave? Yes. What was the impulse? I’m leaving. Well, look, that’s it. How was it? Tell us. Well, I’ve always wanted to, let’s see, I was a very bad student. I was a dreamer, I was always dreaming, I dreamed about motorcycles, instead of girls, I dreamed about motorcycles. Then I started dreaming about girls and motorcycles, you know? And that’s when the problems started. My dad bought me half of my first motorcycle, and I paid the other half. It almost cost him his marriage because, well, I showed up with the bike. My dad had a small business; he had a moped, a Vespa, and a Lambretta, and me, at 13, I’d take them out, of course, without a license, without anything, the way people used to ride. And I was out riding around on motorcycles. You didn’t see tourists back then. In Spain, you didn’t see, well, you didn’t see, or even be followed by, an African, you know? The first Black person I saw, I saw when I was quite old. I mean, everything has changed. So I bought the motorcycle. The first day, I went to the Turia riverbed. I’m from Valencia, and there was a young couple strolling along. I was bouncing around on the motorcycle, I saw them, and you know how it is, where your eyes go, your motorcycle goes, and I headed straight for them. I split a man’s head open, I knocked out a tooth in a fight at home, my parents were watching, and I was like, “Oh my God.” That was, let’s say, my start with motorcycling, and I always dreamed of traveling, not on this scale, but still, traveling, I don’t know, around Spain, even if it was just to hop on my bike and go. And in fact, I did it sometimes, you know? And I did it without my father liking, secretly, and I’d take my little trips around. Then, when I finally decided, as the years went by, that I really did want to travel around the world— I’d been thinking about it for years—I was like most of you, I think, you might have the financial means to start the trip one way or another, because there are many ways to travel, but you don’t have the time. Time is the most precious thing, and you can’t buy time with money. That’s a fact. You can have a lot of money, but you can’t buy time. So, I made the decision that I was going to leave. Well, it never comes to you, because you always have things going on, problems. I also had a business, and I said, look, screw the business, screw everything, and I’m just leaving. I got divorced at that time too—I’ve had several divorces now, you know? Anyway, I got divorced and I said, well, this is the moment. So, I happened to be in Brazil, I met Fernanda, and of course, how do I bring it up? I’d just met her and I told her I was going off somewhere, right? With her. So, well, I had to work it out a bit. Initially, we were both going to go on a motorcycle; we left on a BMW. Yes, I saw it. Exactly. We went to the North Cape. Of course, we were doing 600 km a day, right? And I kind of tested it out, right? And she said, “Look, this is all very nice, but I want to take my motorcycle.” Then it was like heaven opened up for me, right? Because with a bike with AMV suspension like the one I ride, which weighs a ton, with two people and luggage, it’s 500 kg. 500 kg, so trying to go off-roading and places like that… I really love riding off-road, I’ve always done it since I was little, so it was complicated. Then the heaven opened up and I said, “Okay, that’s it.” And I thought it over and did it. I mean, she was actually braver because she got her license. While getting her license, she broke her leg, and she only recovered from that leg injury. I had just broken mine in Morocco, so we took turns riding, and we just went for it. Of course, my heart was pounding because she’d come to the curves and go straight on, and oh my god. And I’d say, ” You’ll learn as you go.” I’d say, “Don’t worry.” And well, now the bike is running really well, and the decision… It’s about taking the plunge. Look, I think we make excuses. I don’t have the right bike, this bike is too big, this bike is too small, this bike is too old, my family. Of course, there are many things that I know make it difficult, right? But making the decision is saying, I’m starting up and going. But more than anything, it’s about, what was your impulse? I mean, what did you think, what did you imagine? What was your emotion? Where is it? The emotion is incredible. You have your fears, you have your anxieties, obviously, but nowadays, I don’t know, I can admire Emilio Escoto, you know, who went out with a Gold Wing, a lot of years ago without GPS, without anything. And of course, when I’m in a country, like China or Saudi Arabia, where everything is in their language, where you don’t understand anything, where most people don’t speak English or anything at all, well, you have a phone that tells you where to go. But when you don’t, I mean, sometimes when you ask for something more specific, and it’s funny, I mean, you tell a guy who lives here about the next town over, 20 km away, and he doesn’t know where it is, he’s never even been there in his life, and it’s funny. And maybe he’ll send you somewhere else , he’ll have this blank look on his face, like he doesn’t know. I think, and then I think, wow, but if you ask this guy, this town is right next door. He didn’t know. They’re kind of isolated, and depending on the country, it’s even more so, right? If you go to the mountains of Nepal or you go, uh, to the Himalayas, it’s breathtaking. And the excitement, what you were saying, well, it’s awesome. I mean, it’s awesome to have your motorcycle and think, ‘Here I go,’ right? I’m on my way, and we’ll sort it out. Don’t even doubt for a second that everything will work itself out. You start traveling, and everything works itself out. Things happen. A typical question: “Oh, what if your bike breaks down? Are you a mechanic?” No, I know a bit about mechanics because I’ve always enjoyed taking engines apart, but it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t know much about mechanics, always have someone to help you. Well, it’s more complicated in Europe, but when you go to Asia, which is another question everyone asks me, right? It’s just that, of course, they seem safer in Europe, right? If you break down here, you’re screwed, aren’t you? No, I was just in Poland, and now that I’ve gone up north… I’d already been to all those countries, and damn, if my bike breaks down here, there’s nobody around. You go through the towns, and they seem haunted, and people go around like that, riding their bikes in the cold in Asia, in the Arab countries. It’s amazing. I mean, you stop and there are already 20 people around you. Even if you don’t see anyone, everyone comes out. They’ll help you, they’ll take your bike wherever you need it, they’ll take you to their house. It’s incredible. I mean, the hospitality of the people is amazing, because apart from the Arab world, I spent about four years in Arab countries, so I know more or less how it works, right? And they’re incredibly hospitable. I mean, it’s like, here in Spain you say, “Damn, sometimes we’re a bit resentful because of this, everything in Barcelona, ​​you get robbed here, come on, tell me where you’ve been robbed?” And I say, I’ve only been robbed in Barcelona. I mean, that’s just how it is there. Look, you leave your bike loaded up. Wow, I’m carrying so much stuff, what if I get robbed? Nobody’s going to touch anything. I mean, there might always be someone who does, right? The one who happens to be around. But it’s very rare. I’ll tell you an anecdote I often tell. We arrived in Kuwait; we were trapped in Iraq, unable to leave. The road to Kuwait was closed, and the road to Jordan was too. There was only one crossing, but ISIS was there, and kidnappings and murders were happening every day. In fact, we were with some Iraqi people. They went down a path that we later accidentally took, and they were kidnapped. They weren’t seen until one day when Kuwait opened up. We were the first to cross the Kuwaiti border, and then it was closed for many years after the Gulf War and all that. It was amazing, wasn’t it? Because when we arrived in Kuwait, some bikers had contacted us through social media. That’s one of the good things about social media, isn’t it? They were waiting for us there with two BMWs, and of course, it’s so hot in Kuwait, imagine! 45 degrees Celsius in the shade. You couldn’t even stand there. So, of course, we arrived with our bikes fully loaded. I couldn’t leave my bike behind. I was worried because I knew they wouldn’t touch anything in those countries, they don’t touch anything. But of course, I have my jacket, my money, my passport, all the things I think, “If they take this, plus the paperwork for getting another passport and everything else that entails…” What happens? Well, I grab my jacket, we grab the jacket to take it with us, and the guy looks at me with a blank expression and says he doesn’t understand why I’m carrying my jacket in this heat, you know? Carrying it around. No, he doesn’t take my jacket, he leaves it on the motorbike. This, in the center of Kuwait. Damn, I have my money, the spare key for the motorbike, I have everything there. Oh, relax, relax, it’s all right, let’s go. And off we go, we spend about three hours walking around the city. When we got back, everything was still there, nobody had touched anything. Because the concept of stealing doesn’t exist there. It’s just that they haven’t quite grasped the idea of ​​someone taking something that isn’t yours, you know? Firstly, because Allah is always watching them. And you know that for Muslims, religion comes first, and everything else comes after, right? Government, wives, you name it. It doesn’t even occur to them. In India, in other countries, in Pakistan, they don’t touch you, but it’s true that people can be very overwhelming. I mean, you stop and suddenly there are 300 people there, but nobody touches you. In that respect, you don’t have to be afraid to go out. In Europe, yes, in Europe you have to be very careful. In France, there are places you can’t even go, right? And they steal a lot and mug you and all sorts of things. But outside of that, you know Morocco, it’s right next door, many of you have probably been there, and in Morocco, nobody touches you . Moroccans come here and it’s a different story, but there it’s not the same. I wanted to ask a question. I think I’ve seen all the episodes, and I’ve watched them two or three times. The last one was episode 188 or something like that, and you’re in the Bamiyan area, right? Yes. In Afghanistan, yes. You reached some of the Tan countries, Kyrgyzstan, and then you entered Pakistan. No, there was a lot of snow. We entered Pakistan. I wanted to do the mountains up there. Fernanda didn’t feel like it. Besides, there was a lot of snow. It snowed, it got really bad. It was 9 below zero, ice and snow. I mean, the ice is almost worse. And then no. We left through Pakistan. And the second part of the question is, we’re really glad you’re here. Me too, and I think the last one is from December 22, 2022. Yes, yes, the videos are a little behind, but look, I’m going to stop now. I’m going to stop, I think in a couple of months, because Fernanda told me she doesn’t want to be in the videos anymore, you know? That I separated from her almost a year ago, that she doesn’t want to be in them, you know, I totally understand. I don’t know if I’ll do a short summary. I have two options: either make videos, I’ll cut them down, I’ll try to be in them alone. It’s not the same, but I don’t know, I don’t know how I ‘m going to approach it. I’ve kept traveling, I’ve been traveling alone for a year now. More or less, avoid showing Fernanda as much as possible. Are you going to go all the way to Thailand? No, I’m already in Thailand. No, no, already. Yes, yes. I separated from her in Cambodia. I stayed in Thailand for six months, three months. Then I went back to Cambodia again, twice because they kept kicking me out, you can’t stay in the country that long. So I’ve been moving around the borders there and I stayed in that area to relax, right? It’s a good area to relax. For me, it was a shock to realize that being with someone for seven years—well, ten years, actually, I was with her for ten years—seven of them traveling, or about six and a half traveling 24 hours a day. That’s more impressive than just traveling, you know? And I say this because you’ve probably traveled with partners, with friends, with girlfriends, with women. A lot of people say to me, “Traveling alone.” And I say, “Damn, look, I didn’t know what traveling was. I mean, I’ve traveled alone my whole life, but a trip like this, with this intensity and in this way, well, I didn’t know anything about traveling alone because I did it with her. She was truly an excellent companion during the time we were together, right up until the very last day.” Very well. And of course, now I have both perspectives, what it’s like to be alone and what it ‘s like to be with someone, which I didn’t have before. I talk to other travelers who travel alone, and they tell me things. Okay, fine, but I didn’t know that. Traveling as a couple is much more complicated, but even with a friend, I suppose you’ve all gone on trips with friends on another motorcycle and you’ve often argued because you have to be very tactful, you have to… of course, not everyone likes the same things as you when you’re alone. You don’t have any problems. I advise you to travel alone. If you have a good relationship with a friend, with your wife who likes motorcycles, of course. Because riding on the back is a drag, let’s be honest. I mean, I wouldn’t do it, riding on the back. But well, if the person is there, someone you love a lot and wants to ride on the back, and you get along well, it has its good points. I mean, sharing things is very nice, and if you get along well, it’s great. Now, if you don’t get along, it’s torture. Obviously, if we hadn’t gotten along, we wouldn’t have lasted months on a trip like that. No, I was going to mention that, but you just answered it. Yes, the difference between traveling alone and traveling with someone is, well, I understand that both have their pros and cons. Yes, that’s clear. I think that traveling as a couple, like you guys do, is ideal for me personally, since I’ve always traveled alone, I’ve never traveled with a partner or friends. Yes, I’ve always traveled alone, but I think it’s ideal. Why? Because if something happens, you can get around with the other vehicle. Well, let’s see, in terms of safety, it’s much better, of course. The issue of living together is also very delicate. Look, all of us here are old enough to know what living together is like, so I’m not going to tell you about it. But traveling with a companion, although it doesn’t have to be your wife, with a friend, is great. First, because if you have problems, I don’t know, your motorcycle breaks down and you can’t get it out, well, you have another motorcycle to get somewhere. You have a serious fall , you know you’re going to end up on the bike, it’s just a matter of time. I always say that on a motorcycle, until you actually fall, it depends on your skill, but once you’re on the ground, it’s just luck not to hit a car and not have someone pick you up. So, if you’re riding with someone else, it gives you more confidence, even to venture into places I wouldn’t even consider going alone. I mean, I’ve been to places and I’m like, “Damn, this is crazy, even Afghanistan, right? Sometimes delicate situations, right? So traveling with someone has its advantages; in return, you have to compromise and maybe do things you wouldn’t normally do, but hey, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? When you travel with your partner or a friend, you just do whatever you want. I mean, it’s great… I stop here, do there, eat what I want, sleep where I want, I don’t have to explain myself to anyone. I’m here now, someone calls me, hey, let’s go there. I mean, you have really good advantages. Then , when you’re traveling, you end up creating your own little home in those places, right? Because one of the things I imagine you’ll think about is, “Damn, I’ve been on a 20-day trip, and I’m exhausted.” You say, “Damn, how does this guy have been doing this for a year, two, five, or ten?” Traveling, because it’s different. I arrive somewhere, I like it, I stay for 20 days. If I don’t like it, I go somewhere else. It always depends on the visas. That’s the only thing that matters, the visa. We always use up all the visas. If it’s 60 days, then 60, and I can renew it, and I like the country because a big country, like Iran, you can’t see it all in a month. It’s impossible, I’m telling you, a month. There are people who cross it in 5 days, I mean, you don’t see anything. Just crossing is covering kilometers, but for that you don’t need to go to Iran, you can stay here, go around and around, cross and cross several times, I don’t know. No, no, I have no problem camping. I still camp. I have no problem. Despite what happened there, that happened, but it can’t define your life. It’s like someone who has a motorcycle accident, they never ride a motorcycle again. Some people do it, they get scared and say, “No, this isn’t for me.” And they never ride a motorcycle again. I mean, motorcycle, car, whatever, right? It happens to you after so many years of travel, you know. Things happen to you in your life, at home; things aren’t going to happen to you while traveling. So, regarding what happened to you, I wanted to bring up two things. The first is, did you receive support from the Spanish authorities at the Spanish consulate? The consul called, offered his assistance, wanted to come, and I said it wasn’t necessary because we were treated very well in India. So it wasn’t necessary. They provided us with an interpreter because we had to give statements in court, and so we simply needed a sworn interpreter who was there, so we had no problem. Support, please. Yes, yes. Not in Nepal, it was in India. In India, yes. There were no problems. Another question, excuse me, the other question on that topic, I know that obviously it shows us that this happened, but whenever something like this happens, what was your biggest takeaway from that situation? Well, life can end in an instant, I mean, it’s incredible. So, the situation… well, I don’t like to talk about this because it’s a painful subject. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone because it’s like an accident. Imagine you have a motorcycle accident, and in the blink of an eye, you’ve crashed and maybe even died. You haven’t suffered. You haven’t really suffered. It’s those who are left behind who suffer, right? But you haven’t suffered. But if you have a motorcycle accident, break 25 bones, and are in the hospital for three years on a ventilator and all that, well, damn, that’s awful. Well, this is kind of the same, isn’t it? It was a very, very unpleasant situation , where you know you’re going to die because you’re certain you’re going to die, that you’re not getting out of there, none of us are getting out of there. And after three or four hours we were there, when these people left—well, before they left, I thought Fernanda was dead, I couldn’t hear her anymore—and that they were going to kill me. They were interviewed in a lot of places, but I only actually gave two interviews. The rest of the time, people were just talking, and I even made a video because they were saying things that weren’t true. So, at least, at least I can tell you what really happened, right? But we always learn from bad things, or there’s a lesson to be learned from them. Yes, of course there’s a lesson, but the lesson I learned from you posting this is about the lost time, about valuing life more, man. Absolutely. And joy. And you know what it’s like to see someone you thought was dead suddenly alive. I mean, it’s like, well, you know, when they tell you that your child is dead, that you think they’re dead, and then suddenly you’re going to see them again, even though they’re mangled, even though they have both legs broken, well, it gives you an incredible joy. I mean, we had just gone through a terrible tragedy, and I was so happy to see them, to see that they were there, even though we didn’t know how things were going to end. In the end, we were able to leave, they left, and we left, but, well, the lesson, I don’t know, is that it’s a very unpleasant thing, isn’t it? It’s very unpleasant. You value that moment, you value life so much more, because you feel like you’re dead in that moment, everything flashes through your mind. You say, “I can speak from what I felt, right?” Of course, what happened to Fernanda was 30,000 times worse, wasn’t it? I was thinking, “She’s already dead, they’re going to kill me now.” And at that moment you start, “You’re not going to see your children, you’re not going to, I mean, for several hours.” That’s torture, isn’t it? I mean, because things are good when they happen quickly, but when they happen slowly, it’s torture. It’s a lesson that we’re alive, that you don’t know when life is going to end, and that you have to live in the moment and that it shouldn’t define you. I mean, it definitely leaves its mark, but it shouldn’t dictate your life. Someone else might say, “Well, I’m not traveling anymore,” or “I’m not camping anymore,” or… No, because then it’s defining you. A big problem shouldn’t define your life. I think you just have to keep moving forward, that’s all. It’s your turn, it’s your turn. It’s when you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, that’s it. Now the roof is falling in here. You say, “If we hadn’t been here listening to that annoying guy’s lecture, the roof wouldn’t have collapsed,” right? Hey, my roof actually fell in once, you know? Now… You’re telling us that you’re the, I don’t know, the slowest traveler, biker, right? It goes slower, No. I go really slowly, okay? I think I’m one of the slowest, but anyway. So, tell me what you do on a normal day. How many kilometers? And what do you do? Look, well, let me explain. Normally, when you have to edit videos, you’re already incredibly busy. I mean, if I got paid by the hour, damn, I’d be rolling in it, you know? But it’s also something I do because I enjoy it, although there are days when you don’t like it, you don’t feel like it every day. It’s like the gym. One day you’re at the gym, great, I like it. And another day you’re like, damn, this stupid gym. Editing and all that is the same. Filming is easy, filming is fun, too, but editing is really tedious. It’s a drag, especially if you want to maintain consistency. I don’t maintain consistency; I might not make a video for three weeks. Thank God I don’t need to make a living from it. It’s true that it gives you enough money to be able to travel. Not at first. When you’ve been doing this for a while, yeah, it depends on how you’re doing and the way you’re doing it, right? It can affect you, but it doesn’t control me. I mean, I think that at my age I’m not going to enslave myself to anything, because if that’s the case, I’d just stay working here, and if it’s about making money, I’ll stay here where I earn more, right? I think, I edit when I feel like it, and when I don’t feel like it, I don’t. So, that’s why you’ll see that suddenly you’re on top, and then suddenly you’re thrown into the pit of humiliation, right? Because you haven’t uploaded a video in three weeks. That’s how it works. That’s how the YouTube algorithm works. But anyway, what do I do? Well, look, we usually walk, it depends on the place. Here in Spain, doing 500 km in a day is nothing, but there are countries where if you do 100 km, that’s a lot . We weren’t early risers, were we? Because we don’t leave before 10:30 or 11. Am I really going to get up at 7 in the morning? It’s so comfortable in bed. No way. My approach to traveling is that I’ve already managed to quit my job, which is fantastic, and now I’m not going to get up early and become a slave to something. I mean, I really do what I feel like doing. When I travel, I’d say I do what I feel like 95% of the time. And that’s wonderful. What can I say ? I get up calmly, and if it’s raining, I say, well, not today. And I stay put because I don’t mind staying a day, unless I have to cross the border that day or something, right? I try to avoid that. I travel 200 km, 100, 300 km, depending on the next place I’m going. I also check the weather. If it’s raining that way, well, I’ll go that way, like a coward, to the other side. And that’s it. You plan a country, you plan places you want to see. Things happen on the trip, you meet people suddenly, I don’t know, you get a flat tire and someone stops for you and you meet them and they take you to their house and meet their family, and then they say, “You’re staying here all week.” No, not the whole week, I’m just going to stay one day, that’s it. Well, in the end, you have to give them three rides and they take you down and up and they drive you in their car, which is when I get the most scared. Look, the scariest thing for me on trips is when I get in a car with someone. God, the first thing I do is put on my seatbelt. I put on my seatbelt and they laugh. “Why are you wearing your seatbelt?” And I say, “No, it’s just a habit.” “No, no, no, no, they’re going to laugh at you.” “Okay, fine, I’ll take it off.” And you see me there with my feet like this, because I always ride up front, and you see me with my feet like this, and of course you don’t know, I mean, I mean, I mean, you can’t imagine how, I mean, in India, for example, or in Pakistan, how they drive. It’s mind-blowing. They start overtaking on a crest where you can’t see a thing, with a car that’s not facing the wind, with a line of cars, and then one comes along and pulls out, and I say, no, and they say, ‘There’s room for three of us,’ man. Of course. Yes, of course. And that happens to you on a motorcycle. On a motorcycle, sometimes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh—Bangladesh is the worst of all countries. I’d say Bangladesh is the worst country to drive in. Worse, by far, even worse than India. And India has its share of problems. But of course, you’re going, I’m talking about daytime, at night, half the road without lights, the cows, uh, the cows in India, you come to a curve and you see a cow, and it’s nighttime, and the cows Black cows you can’t see. It happened. My son came to visit me for a few days in India, on a motorbike in Delhi , and I told him, “Watch out for the cows.” Well, we’d barely left Delhi when we hit a cow. God, I was in front, then my son, then Fernanda, and he didn’t have an intercom because he’d brought one, but in the end, we couldn’t get it working. I was overtaking a car, and suddenly I saw a truck, and then the truck braked, and I thought, “Something’s wrong,” right then. The cow’s horns. I swerved to avoid it; I couldn’t slow down at that speed, and I yelled into the phone, “The cow, the cow!” My son didn’t see the cow. He was coming up behind me, I looked in the mirror, bam, the cow hit the ground, he went flying through the air. I thought, “Oh my God.” He wasn’t hurt. Thank God. The motorbike was a little damaged, we fixed it, and the cow got up and walked away like nothing had happened, like someone who gets bitten by a mosquito, you know? And the cow went down and everything, I mean, the impact was significant. The question is, in the short film, in the last video, you say you’re going to Granada. Yes, I’m going for a week now, I’ve been there for a week, and then I’m going to Paraguay. The million-dollar question is, there are two continents: America and Africa. Do you have any ideas, a preview? Well, yes, look, I wanted to do Africa first, but Fernanda, who just learned to ride a motorcycle, thought it was crazy to go to Africa. I said, let her go through Europe, let her travel, it’s easy, people drive more or less well and all that. And I left Africa out, right? Because my idea was to go straight through Africa. I think I’m going to be traveling with two or three motorcycles. Yes, because otherwise, at the rate I’m going, I’ll need years to finish everything. As you can see, I mean, I’m going to have to put training wheels on the motorcycle at this rate, of course, I just don’t have enough time. So, I’m 65 now, thank God I’m in good health, I’m in good spirits, I’m doing well in every way, but you know how it is, tomorrow the wind hits you and that’s it, you’re either stuck or you can’t ride a motorcycle anymore or you have some other problem or whatever. Thank God when I break a bone, it heals well, right? But my plan is to continue with the Africa Twin that’s in Bangkok. They’re kicking me out of there. I wanted to stay three more months in Thailand, but they won’t let me because the motorcycle, you know, has a time limit for being in countries with the documents, the temporary import licenses. So I ‘m going to Malaysia now. From Malaysia, I’m going to Indonesia. Indonesia is very beautiful. I suppose I’ll spend at least four or five months in Indonesia. From there, I’ll go to the island of Borneo. Borneo, you know, half is Malaysian, half is Indonesian, and then there’s Brunei. I’ll do the island of Borneo, which is huge. From there, I want to go to the Philippines. I’ll do the Philippines. The Philippines, well, I’ll be there for four or five months, at least. Then from there I’m going to the Celibia Islands. I want to do the Celibia Islands. Right? At that rate, it’ll be two years. Yes, I reckon I’ll get to Australia in about two years. Two years to Australia. Africa is still to come, right? Because now I’m going to tell you what you asked me about. I’m talking about that part, what’s left for me. I want to do Papua Guinea, without finding any other travelers who’ve been to Papua Guinea. I’m asking for information. I’m going there and we’ll see what happens. If they kick me out, well, I’ll turn around. Papua Guinea is very close to Australia, but I don’t know if they let us through. It’s like India and Sri Lanka. India and Sri Lanka. We were right on the border of India, Sri Lanka is practically next door, but there’s no ferry because they don’t want Indians in Sri Lanka because Sri Lanka is quite nice, and India, well, you know what India is like. So we had to take a plane to Sri Lanka, rent two motorbikes, and travel around Sri Lanka by motorbike. What happens? The same thing happens in Papua New Guinea. It’s right next to Australia, practically attached, but there’s no ferry or anything to get there. So I’ll have to go through Timor-Leste, and from Timor I’ll go on to Darwin, Australia. I don’t think I’ll be there for very long, but I’ll be there for a couple of months or three, which is to go all the way around. It’s 17,000 km; I haven’t checked the exact distance. I’ll go around Australia, then I want to do Tasmania, and I’ll have to go back to Australia to ship the motorbike to New Zealand. And my idea from New Zealand was to ship it to Korea, do Korea-Japan, and then ride it up to Magadan. Of course, the motorbike will have almost 270,000 km on it by then. km. The Africa Twin really has almost 200 and that bike hasn’t given me a single problem, it’s a good machine, but of course, it’s getting old, I don’t know. So, with the separation and everything, I’ve changed my plans, right? I have a Yamaha that I bought in 2004 or 2005, a single-cylinder XT660 R that doesn’t have anything, it doesn’t even have ABS, it doesn’t have any electronics or anything, it only has electronic fuel injection, that’s for sure. And what I’m going to do this summer is go to California. I’m going on a trip with some people—well, I don’t know if you’ve seen it in my stories—with a group of people. I’ll be in Baja California for 15 days with a group from a company. I was going to Iceland, but I couldn’t go because I broke my collarbone in France. My plan was to ride the BMW around Spain. I thought, “I’d do a bit of a tour of Spain, my daughter would get some fresh air, I’d leave her in Barcelona, ​​and then I’d go to Iceland and from Iceland to Belarus.” I couldn’t go to Iceland; you can’t go there at this time of year. So they postponed my ticket until next year. Next year I’ll come in June and go straight to… I don’t know exactly where I’ll end up. I suppose I’ll be riding the bike through Indonesia. I’ll fly to Baja California. From there I’ll go to Iceland with the XT. All of this could change because, you know how plans are, but the idea is to go to Iceland with the XT, and from Iceland I’ll go to Russia, then down to Kazakhstan, and then on to Magadan with that bike. Since I’ll be going slowly, winter will catch me by surprise. I’ll leave the bike in Kyrgyzstan, where you can leave it for quite a while. I’ll fly back to where I have the Africa Twin, wherever it is, in Malaysia or Indonesia, wherever. I’ll continue with that bike, and from those countries I also want to go directly to Vietnam. I’m thinking about spending about six months in Vietnam, roughly how long it will take me to travel around it . Then I’ll buy a 2.5-ton bike there, or something like that. The problem with bikes is always finding a place to leave them. I’m going to do two continents at once with that bike, the XT. Then I suppose I’ll send it to Africa, and I’ll be finishing up Oceania by then, because I imagine I’ll have been in Australia and Africa by then. When I get tired of Africa, I’ll go there. So I’ll do six months in each country, something like that. I avoid the rainy seasons, because when it rains, it really pours, you know? And America, well, I don’t know if I’ll buy a motorcycle in Brazil in the meantime. I say Brazil because, having Brazilian residency, I can leave the motorcycle there and travel through America in stages. I don’t know. Otherwise, I just don’t have the time, I mean, I don’t have the time. I’ve already calculated it, and I think, no, I can see myself at 90 years old on the motorcycle, which I don’t mind if I’m in good shape, but of course, I don’t know how I’ll be then, you know? You know how it is. But anyway, I’m just playing around with motorcycles a bit. These days you can hop on a plane, be in one place and another in a flash, in a day, and hop on a motorcycle. I came here, and it was raining in Thailand, you know? When it rains, boy, does it rain, you know? Those damn monsoons. So, well, I’m just playing around with that, you know? I think nowadays it’s very easy to do. The problem is the same as always: time. You have the time to do it. If you don’t have the time, well, then you’re screwed, right? Tajikistan? Well, yes, I don’t know it. I know many countries from travelers who have been there and tell you things, right? And yes, I want to do it. Of course, I entered through the Middle East, and of course, I didn’t do that whole area. So now the idea is to do it, and it’s better to do it with the XT, which is a bike I’m fixing up. It’s going to weigh 160 kg because, let’s talk about motorcycles, shall we? The weight of motorcycles. If you’re going to ride on the highway, you can go with a Gold Wind fully loaded, you won’t have any problem, but if you want to complicate things a bit, you need a motorcycle that doesn’t weigh much. Weight, forget about power. You’ll always have more than enough power. Nowadays, any motorcycle, you know? But weight is fundamental. Think about it, a typical piece of luggage weighs 60 kg, and even cyclists carry the same amount. And sometimes I’m just blown away, those guys are incredible, they’re unbelievable. I mean, you’re on a mountain pass, riding your motorbike uphill for half an hour, a hill like that, right? And you see the cyclist with 60 kg. I mean, dude, I mean, crazy. I mean, crazy. That’s him. He’s crazy as a cowbell. He’s totally nuts, I mean, pedaling away. How would I do it? Well, very easily. By asking for permission. Nowadays you have the internet, you go online, look for a company that rents motorcycles like Pau does, and you get there. It’s the fastest and cheapest way, because keep in mind that shipping a motorcycle costs at least 4,000 or 5,000 dollars, no way around it. Of course, indeed. I mean, if someone comes to Barcelona to tour Spain and ships their motorcycle from the United States or Latin America to come for a month, it’s true that many people’s passion is traveling on their own motorcycle. So they say, “I don’t care, I’ll spend the money.” And I’ve met travelers like that, I’ve met them, and I ask them, “Where did you come from?” He says, “No, no, I came by plane. I mean, they brought the bike to me. I mean, there are people who have had their bikes brought to them or sent by truck or transport so they can then ride them. I think it’s better to rent a bike. And then they send these BMWs, which are enormous, for traveling, I don’t know, right? I mean, for traveling on roads, yes, but you go through the Himalayas, which is all dirt tracks, kilometers and kilometers and kilometers of everything, track after track with landslides, with everything. If you’re on one of those bikes, you’re screwed. And let’s not even talk about the electronics that bikes have nowadays, unfortunately, they have so much electronics, which helps a lot with riding, but if you have a problem in a certain place, a sensor trips, the bike won’t start, and you don’t even know where to start, they won’t fix it, they won’t fix it. That’s why I chose this bike, which doesn’t have any of that for traveling, because I wouldn’t dream of going, I mean, with a bike full of electronics.” My Africa Twin is a 2017 model, it has no electronics, nothing, just traction control, which is rubbish, by the way. Every time it disconnects, it reconnects, and when you’re on a track, you go to accelerate, you forget to press it. Boom, the bike, of course, doesn’t grip, bam, down again… And it took you half an hour to pick the bike up. It’s another way. Yes, yes, of course. It all depends on how much time you have. You told me, “I’m going away for a month and I want to do America.” You’re not going to make it. You’re not going to make it. I mean, well, and if you do make it, you’ll be exhausted and have to come back. Rent a motorcycle. Rent motorcycles. In the Himalayas, I’ve met tons of groups of people riding Royal Enfields. It’s an Indian motorcycle that you can fix anywhere, you can find spare parts for everything, and they have a great time and do a 15-day route. You tell me, I want to do that. I say, go there directly, rent a motorcycle. If you don’t dare to go alone, You see, in a group—there are groups that organize these trips—you’ll have a blast. Then you can visit many countries, many countries like that, because if you don’t have time, you have no other choice. If you say, ” I want to do the Himalayas,” or “I want to do Pakistan, southern Pakistan,” or “I want to do whatever,” right? Or “I want to do Sri Lanka,” or “I want to do this,” go and rent a motorbike, it’s the best thing. And rent a simple motorbike; people are very handy there, like in Spain many years ago, when everything was fixed. Nowadays, they’re just parts changers; they plug in the computer and say, ” This needs to be replaced.” There, they don’t replace anything; they have to fix everything. And when we run into problems with the electronics, we’re in trouble, because I can take the engine apart, but if I don’t know what’s wrong with it because the motorbike won’t start, what do you take apart? You don’t know where to start, apart from a flat tire, a broken chain, or something like that. If you’re going on a somewhat long trip, learn a little bit of mechanics. Even if it’s just the basics, like changing brake pads, a tire, the chain. You can find tutorials for everything on YouTube. You just go there and learn. You know you can learn anything, right? And at least have some basic knowledge, not just know that you have to put gas in the bike. I’m not always traveling with the Africa Twin, but hey, when I travel, the weight is a real pain. So, why don’t you go with one like that? Well, look, if I were to go on another trip now, I definitely wouldn’t go with the Africa Twin. The bike is fantastic, and there it is, with all the miles it’s got, the beating I’ve given it, and how well it runs, right? It starts on the first try and… It takes me everywhere. But of course, you find the most beautiful places off the beaten path, many of them. And a very heavy motorcycle, well, what can I say? Plus, I’m of a decent height, but if you’re even a little shorter, you’ll fall 30 times more often because you’ll touch the ground, you won’t, and on uneven terrain, think about it: maybe the bike is high up, or there’s a hole or a rock next to it, and you just can’t reach it. In the best-case scenario, you don’t break an ankle, which is very easy to do if the bike falls on you, but then you have to pick it up. You’re alone, take off your luggage, because you can’t lift the bike with luggage, no way. Take off your luggage, disassemble everything, put everything back together. I mean, a fall takes 20 minutes, imagine 40 degrees Celsius, unbearable heat, add all that, and it really gets tiring. You’re going to travel alone, you’re going to go through tricky places, you need a bike you can lift even with your luggage. Vicente, you know, a lot of people come here when you ask them how they’d travel again on a lighter bike. Exactly. 100%. Everyone. It was the same for me, with everyone I met . Yes. For me, a Japanese bike, I mean, as reliable as Japanese bikes, there are few like it, you know? Japanese bikes, some people just fall in love with them. Oh, I love KTMs. I mean, are you a mechanic? Well, don’t buy a KTM. Let’s see. Sure, they’re bikes that perform very well when the bikes are pushed hard, what happens? Yes, you say, how little weight and how fast they go. It’s all about lightening things, pushing the engine. Well, logically, like a Ferrari engine, you don’t get the same mileage on a Ferrari as you would on a Seat. Well, that’s fundamental, little weight. There’s a misconception that long-distance travel requires a larger engine. I once read in a study that a couple—this seems incredible to me, but it’s possible—took two Liberty 125s for a round trip. Of course. And you can do it on an 80. You’ll have to change the cylinder after 60,000 or 80,000 km. It’s a bad idea we have. “I’m going to travel the world, I need a big engine.” No, look, most people buy the biggest bike. The BMW, exactly, the bike too. The big bike to travel the world, then they only ride around town. On a honeymoon, one couple rented a 125cc to go to Paris. Well, imagine that, right? If you start attaching things to the bike, you can fit a lot of stuff in it, huh? And they came back. Absolutely thrilled. I would go out with a smaller bike. I mean, come on, it’s crystal clear to me. You’ve already hinted at the possibility of getting smaller motorcycles. The problem is when you work with brands. Let me explain. If BMW pays me and I need the money to travel, what are they going to give me? I get paid to carry luggage or whatever. First, it has to be good. If not, well, I’m not going to take it just because they’re paying me. Because if it breaks down in the middle of nowhere, I’m screwed with what they’re paying me. But with motorcycles, if you manage to find a brand that will pay you—which is difficult, especially with Japanese brands. Japanese brands don’t care about you—then, of course, maybe they offer you a motorcycle and you say, “Yes, they’ll pay me, but I’m not going to ride that motorcycle, not because it’s small or big, but because of the reliability.” I think that if I have the freedom to choose my motorcycle, they should make it very easy for me, and I should get a motorcycle that I like. Otherwise, they can give me whatever they want, right? Because for me, the important thing is to enjoy my trip, and I’m not going to ride a bike that’s giving me problems. Besides, it’s always going to break down on the worst possible day, you know? If it’s getting dark, you’re somewhere, and the bike breaks down that day. The simpler it is, the better. It’s just common sense: fewer things, fewer things break. That’s just how it is. If a bike has 18 sensors, 40,000 things, like, I don’t know, the electronic throttle. You have a crash, and the throttle goes out. Now what? Well, with the other way, with a little cable, you can go anywhere, and the manufacturers have to sell, they have to innovate, they have to release new things. And I’m not saying it doesn’t work well. I was testing BMWs before the 1300s came out and all that. It’s a fantastic bike, I mean, for the weight you have, that bike is for fools. I mean, let’s see, I mean, let’s see. It allows for an impressive margin of error. I mean, I’ve been riding those bikes, and in Turkey I also ride a 1300 that’s a real beast. I like how they handle. You enter a curve too fast, and with another bike you’d think, “I would have been killed here.” But you lean the bike in and it just stays on track. You think, “Damn, how do they do it?” Well, I don’t know, the engineers there really put their expertise to use, right? And it shows. You ride with incredible confidence, and you’re on a massive bike with huge inertia, because these are heavy bikes, with very high inertia. Think about that, the bike’s inertia and then the weight. When we put luggage on the bike, we pack it however we want. I mean, you don’t say, “No, this suitcase weighs 25 kilos and this one also weighs 25.” Ah, this one weighs 40 kg and that one weighs 10 kg. Because here you have your clothes, and there you have your tools, this and I don’t know what else, and the bike is like this, and then the top case, and then the things you have strapped on, and then there’s weight that’s really high up. The BMW is very good, among other things, especially the boxer engine because the center of gravity is very low. So they’re bikes that don’t seem to weigh what they do because they’re so easy to ride, but when you put weight on top it’s like when you have a passenger, it’s not the same. So, of course, and you ride like that every day. I mean, when I take the luggage off my Africa Twin, my Africa Twin weighs, it’ll weigh 230 kg stripped down because it has the crash bars and such, about 230 kg. It also has the center stand, 230 kg, 135 kg stripped down. When I put the luggage on, I’m at 300 kg. When I take off the luggage, you stop somewhere, and he says, “Well, I’ll stay here for 10 days and do some off-roading, we’ll go here and there, it feels like I’m riding a bicycle.” I mean, I say, this weighs nothing. And you’re talking to a bike that weighs a ton because you’re used to carrying that weight all day long, that unevenly distributed weight, and on top of that, high up when you’re off-roading, right? The bike fishtails, all that inertia throws you around, you take off the luggage and you say, “Damn, this is amazing, this rides so well.” So it’s very important. The less luggage you take, the better. They sell clothes everywhere. Your underwear rips, you buy new ones. “Either you don’t wear them” or you don’t wear them. Okay, four t-shirts. It’s the same whether you’re going for a week or for 5 years, right? I mean, you don’t need to take more. Four or five t-shirts, four or five pairs of underwear, your motorcycle pants—the most versatile pants you can find, quick-drying, made of that quick-drying fabric you can wash overnight. When I get to the hotel each night, I wash my underwear and socks and wear the same ones. I mean, I might wear the same ones for a month , but I’ve washed them almost every day. And then there’s the poor thing, so I just throw them away and buy another pair. So, you don’t need to take anything else. The problem is, you know, when you go on a trip, you go with the motorcycle you have. Yeah, right. The one you like, too. There’s a world of motorcycles, and I was looking at the 450cc BMW that they’ve released, and it’s very good because it has a considerable weight. I don’t know how the electronics are, but the bike looks good. But when you all started, you all had big motorcycles, right? Because that’s the mistake we all make, if not all, then most of us. Most people. Look, I went on a trip, and I was used to it when I went enduro riding. I used to go with my enduro bikes; I’ve always had enduro bikes. Now, for traveling, I went with this BMW, and look, Belarus, it’s incredibly comfortable, like a sofa. BMWs, the 1200s and that kind, for traveling, I mean, there’s nothing else as comfortable. And for the passenger, exactly the same. I’ve ridden few bikes as comfortable as that one, but it’s a beast, let’s see. It’s a real beast of a bike. I mean, it’s a bike you can take on trails, yes, but it depends on the terrain and your skill level. Like everyone else, Tarres takes it and, I mean , he climbs on one wheel. But us mere mortals don’t do that, right? So, well, you have to see where your limitations are. And yes, of course it’s beautiful. Another thing, motorcycles, well, like women, right? They have to appeal to you at first sight, otherwise you’re not interested. So, if that motorcycle appeals to you, well, you like it, you fall in love with that motorcycle, and so on. Crazy, we buy that bike maybe without considering other options, right? The good thing is you can always change it later, no big deal. For traveling, light motorcycles are best , and every traveler you talk to with some experience will tell you the same thing. A 400cc single-cylinder. Think about it: on trips you’re usually going 80 km/h, so if almost all the roads were like in Europe, you couldn’t go faster than 120 or 130 km/h. Any of those models can go that fast. Of course, it’s not the same riding a BMW at 130 km/h where you fall asleep as riding one where the handlebars vibrate and your fingernails start falling off, right? But then you compensate, you can’t have it both ways, can you? You say, well, I’ll make the sacrifice. None of us really like highways, do we? Highways are the biggest drag, highways. If it’s a road, well, those twisty roads with that bike don’t bother you because you know you can just drop it and pick it up yourself. I don’t know, it’s something travelers appreciate over time, and everyone I’ve talked to has told me that.

Gracias a todos los que estuvisteis, en Pau Travelmoto, pasamos una tarde agradable entre amigos. Sigo viaje.
