About this film
Part of the second season of a journey aboard a modified KTM 790 Adventure S, the film covers a Central American passage made at a brisk pace. The route is the framework for a mix of riding and chance meetings: Emma, an English cyclist Charlie has encountered several times on the trip, reappears, and Chuck joins the story on a BMW GS. The episode’s focus stays on the changing texture of travel, from reconnecting with familiar faces to dealing with the interruptions that come with moving across the region by motorcycle.
The journey
The stated route runs from El Salvador to Costa Rica, through a leg described as crossing most of Central America. The ride brings long, hot border crossings and herds of cows into view, alongside the stop with a crash at a petrol station. These incidents give the journey a less predictable rhythm than a simple passage between destinations. Emma’s return and Chuck’s company add human connections to a trip otherwise presented as solo motorcycle travel, while the KTM carries the episode through this stretch of the larger round-the-world ride.
What to expect
- A Central American riding leg between El Salvador and Costa Rica.
- Reunions with cyclist Emma and rider Chuck on a BMW GS.
- Hot border crossings, cows and a petrol-station crash along the way.
