My Motorcycle Mishap on the World’s Steepest Street- EP. 21
EDITORIAL SUMMARY

About this film
Episode 21 follows a motorcycle ride up Baldwin Street, which the description identifies as the world’s steepest street. The ride forms part of “Are We There Yet,” a solo trip around the world that began when the rider left Australia in April 2017 on a BMW F800GS. The journey has no stated final destination or planned duration, placing this Dunedin ride within a larger open-ended expedition rather than presenting it as a standalone motorcycle test or review. The central story is the attempt to ride the steep street and the mishap that occurs at the top. The description offers no further account of the incident, so the film’s specific outcome cannot be established from the supplied material.
The journey
The known route in this episode is focused on Baldwin Street, in Dunedin, New Zealand: the rider takes on the street’s steep ascent, then encounters an unexpected turn at its summit. No additional roads, distances, riding conditions or onward destination are given. The wider context is a solo journey around the world, begun in Australia in 2017, but the description does not specify how the Dunedin ride connects to the preceding or following legs. This is therefore a compact, place-specific episode within a much larger motorcycle journey, with the climb and its consequence providing the story’s progression.
People, places and moments
Dunedin is the only location identified, and Baldwin Street is the episode’s defining setting. The available description centres on the rider and the motorcycle, without naming any other people involved or describing an encounter. It presents the ascent as an adventure and flags a mishap at the top, but leaves its nature unexplained. Viewers can expect a ride built around a distinctive urban landmark and a sudden complication, rather than a detailed account of a long route across New Zealand. The recording date is March 2024; the episode was published in August 2024.
