About this film
Episode 109 of Pedro Mota’s motorcycle-travel series centres on the Transalp’s service at Wikanders Motors, where Adrian works on the bike. The maintenance includes replacing the wheel bearings and fitting original Honda clutch fibres, plates and springs. The exhaust and crash bars are painted, while throttle response and shaky steering also receive attention. The episode records a hands-on stretch of travel: time spent cleaning, repairing and replacing parts before the motorcycle is ready for the next leg.
The journey
The story is set in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during a South American motorcycle journey. With the service nearly complete, Mota is preparing to continue travelling through the country. A lockdown then prevents him from leaving the Argentine capital for the time being, turning a workshop visit into an unexpected pause in the trip. The episode’s focus stays close to the motorcycle and the practical interruption to onward travel.
What to expect
- Motorcycle maintenance at a Buenos Aires workshop
