About this film

Part of ADVcharlie’s second season riding a KTM 790 through North America, this episode follows a stretch of the creator’s round-the-world trip. Charlie rides a modified KTM 790 Adventure S, while Damo joins him for the journey. The film combines travel through Mexico with the practical challenge of dealing with bike issues along the way. Rather than presenting a trouble-free passage, it places mechanical setbacks within the broader experience of riding between points of interest. The episode’s focus remains on the journey and the decisions that come with unexpected problems on the road.

The journey

Charlie and Damo ride to a set of Mayan ruins, then continue toward the heart of Mexico City. The description identifies both destinations but does not provide a named route between them. Along the way, each rider encounters motorcycle trouble that tests their patience and ability to work through problems while travelling. The account establishes the issues as a shared part of this leg of the ride, without turning the episode away from its travel focus. Mexico City provides the next major setting after the ruins, linking a visit to historic sites with the challenges of continuing a motorcycle journey through the country.
