About this film
Episode 51 follows a repair problem involving Julio’s Ducati Multistrada: its side stand needs attention because a bolt is stuck. Pedro also has work to do on his Transalp. Robin, who runs a motorcycle rental shop in Uyuni and works as a mechanic, helps the two riders. The episode’s focus is both the repair and the assistance that can come from people met along the way during a motorcycle journey around the world.
The journey
The story takes place in Uyuni, where Julio and Pedro meet again after Julio has been sick. Their motorcycles bring separate maintenance needs to the same stop: the stuck side-stand bolt on Julio’s Ducati and work on Pedro’s Transalp. Robin’s rental shop and mechanical help provide a local connection for the riders as they deal with the repair. The film situates this encounter within Pedro’s ongoing journey, presented as part of the series America – Patagonia to Alaska.
