First on-road surgery for my CRF300 rally! |S6-E47|

About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ Season 6 journey from Ecuador to Alaska, this episode combines travel logistics with a motorcycle-related setback. It opens with a final breakfast with the Rama Indians beside the river Indio, before the focus turns to reaching Bluefields. The title signals an on-road surgery for the CRF300 Rally, while the description notes that the rough water journey causes some damage to Alaska. Together, these details place the bike’s condition within the wider demands of continuing the expedition.
The journey
The route begins at San Juan de Nicaragua, where there are no roads connecting the town to the surrounding journey onward to Bluefields. Reaching Bluefields therefore requires another water crossing rather than a continuous ride on roads. The episode’s travel story is shaped by that change of transport: a motorcycle expedition moving through a region where the next leg depends on water, not a road. The rough passage takes its toll on Alaska, adding a mechanical concern to the effort to make progress toward Bluefields.
What to expect
- A final breakfast with the Rama Indians by the river Indio
- A water-based route from San Juan de Nicaragua toward Bluefields
- A rough passage and an on-road intervention involving the CRF300 Rally
