About this film
ADVcharlie travels on a modified KTM 790 Adventure S as part of a round-the-world motorcycle journey. In this episode, an expectedly straightforward ride becomes a test of patience and concentration on rough roads. The film follows the changing character of the route, from slow progress through traffic to expansive views above the clouds, before a mechanical concern adds another challenge to the day.
The journey
The ride takes place in Peru, on a narrow mountain road through the Andes. Potholes and rough terrain make progress slow, while tight corners and oncoming trucks leave little room to pass. The route climbs above the clouds, opening up striking views across the surrounding landscape. After a long day on the road, the rider arrives in a town and discovers that the motorcycle is overheating. The issue will need attention before the journey can continue.
What to expect
- A rough, pothole-filled mountain road and slow riding progress
- Tight corners, oncoming trucks and limited passing space
- Andean scenery above the clouds, followed by a bike overheating issue
