Shipping my motorcycle to South America.. by plane! |S6 – E3|
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This episode follows the preparation of a motorcycle for an intercontinental move, as a return to South America begins by air rather than by road. The transport process also recalls an earlier attempt to ride to Alaska.
About this film
Part of Season 6, “Ecuador to Alaska,” the film centres on getting a new Honda CRF300 Rally from the UK to South America. The motorcycle is transported by plane, a method used twice before by the rider. That repeat experience brings a familiar tension to the arrangements: even after previous air shipments, the process remains nerve-racking. The episode’s focus is the practical transition between continents and the journey’s return to South America.
The journey
The transport sequence begins with a ferry crossing to the UK. The bike is then dropped off at James Cargo, near Heathrow, before the rider flies from there to South America. The description connects this approach with a trip two years earlier, when the rider first attempted to travel to Alaska. Rather than presenting a continuous riding route, this leg of the broader motorcycle journey is shaped by the work of moving the bike between continents.
What to expect
- A motorcycle journey resumed with an air shipment to South America.
- The ferry, cargo drop-off and flight that make up the transport sequence.
- A new Honda CRF300 Rally and a method used on earlier journeys.
