About this film
Season 3, Episode 9 brings a mechanical thread into a travel episode: the title points to a leaking shock, while the description places the start of the bike repairs in Quito. The journey is presented as part of a round-the-world ride on a KTM 790 Adventure S. Rather than focusing solely on the motorcycle, the episode also includes stops and landmarks along the way. At 10 minutes and 16 seconds, it offers a compact account of this stage of the South America journey, with the bike’s condition part of the unfolding travel story.
