Stranded in The Chilean Atacama Desert.. (Chile Honda Motorcycle Adventure) - ep39 

I take my hat off to you Pedro... Ingenious problems solving. Namaste.

While changing your tube you stated "I've got the Lord on my side". I say that you have had the Lord on your side many times. Wow! A hot dog is food of the gods. Lots of info about changing bike tires. Thanks.

Good job Pedro!!! You are a very resourceful young man using those rocks for a jack stand!! You may want to consider carrying a foot long section of thin walled pipe that fits over your ratchet handle to gain more leverage when trying to loosen over tightened nuts.

I remember you doing your first tyre change in my backyard in Japan.

Thé music is great! And your Portuguese too!

Ride safe Pedro ! Always a pleasure to see your adventures from my boring office. Makes me dream and jump on my bike. Cheers

you've got big balls. You are an inspiration for overcoming adversity. good on ya.

The best part of of these videos you do aside taking us with you and your adventures is learning. You learn, we learn Pedro! :D Obrigado meu amigo! Um forte abraço!

Great skills, nice problem solve approaches, well done Pedro, you go man, you just go

this is probably the only video on YT without a single dislike

Well, I belive today is like 100 bucks for a tubeless conversion kit. Less time for mechanical issues, more time for fun✌🏻

I continue to be impressed with your ability to roll with every punch. Is there any footage of you rage-screaming at the universe before you demonstrate how to calmly respond to each calamity? Is there any video where everything just goes as planned? Glad you are staying safe & hope it stays that way!

Your attitude is amazing. You take setbacks in your stride. What an example.

@4:48....bloody impressive "jack stand" and better yet- successful tire change. In 39 years of riding...I've NEVER had a flat tire. Never changed a tire. But also- never been offroad.(officially) Heat: decades ago, touring the SW US....Arizona, ended up in a hospital- after I passed out in a taxi- in Tempe, AZ. I had ridden from Seattle, WA.- in two days, on a Yamaha Seca 650 Turbo. Seet bike, great fairing, and a relentless sun....I got "baked". Salt stains all over my body, massive cramping, and getting stupid. Even though my brain was cooking, I "knew" I was in trouble. As soon as I got to the motel, parked- my bike fell over. The asphalt was so hot, and soft- it totally ate the side-stand. Not easy picking a bike up either w/ heatstroke. Checked in, couldn't sign guest register: signed an "X". I was cramping so badly- and couldn't explain coherently. On way to room grabbed buckets of ice from ice machine and went to room, drew cold water bath, threw in all the ice...and immersed myself. I knew I was close to dying- my internal temp 102+. I woke up some hours later....all the ice melted. I felt better, got out, got dressed, and decided to head out for a quick dinner and beer. I hailed a taxi. I woke up in the ICU of a hospital. I had tubes coming out of me, an oxy mask on, and I was again immersed in a cold bath. Turned out I had passed out in the taxi ride- and the driver thought I was a druggie overdose- and hauled ass for a hospital. He saved my life. Ever since that trip I'm had a real struggle w/ Heat. As in, a lower threshold to being able to handle it. I'm much more sensitive to high temps. After I got out of ICU the next day, the docs gave me an empty 5gal. jug w/ a length of surgical tubing. That was my DIY'ed "water canteen" for my homeward bound m/c trip. And- I only rode at night, until I got out of the Southwest, and north of LA....to avoid the heat. Rides safe bro; love your work and the wonders you see and share.

I've found that easiest way for me to not pinch a tube is to put just air into the tube to inflate it but no pressure, my tire iron will slide right over it then.

Pedro, I did Latina America last year on my motorcyle, i've been in a lot of places that you show in your videos. Thank you for giving me back these incredible moments, and a lot more. The way you convey the motorcycle trip in your videos is the real one. Gracias !

Gostei de te ouvir a falar Português, fartei-me de rir Pedro😜 és o maior, se algum dia passares por Lisboa deixa-me tirar uma foto com a Alp 😁 que máquina de guerra!!! O almoço fica por minha conta 😁grande abraço e obrigado por partilhares a tua viagem. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great vid, liking the music in this one

Wow pedro was worried for a bit when nut on rear tire didn't want to move. Then just when i was breathing easily thinking you were good at the town you discovered no shop to get another tube Glad you made it safely to town to get another tube. Hope you were able to get some good rest after long day. Safe travels looking forward to next trip/video. Keep pressing on:)

Cheers Pedro. Hope you keep on riding forever...so we can live and learn a little bit from your experience. Congrats! P.S. My name is also Pedro Mota, I´m Portuguese and I have a beautiful 96 Nx650 Dominator, small world...

hey pedro, your videos are absolutly AWESOME!!!!! i love the fact that you shoot your videos "in the middle of nowhere" it makes the videos so much more authentic. I wish i could have the same experience as you! the fact that you dont have more subscribers is CRIMINAL!

Just purchased the hand of god after watching this video. Love your style man. Keep the good side out 💪

Nice video bud, when you were talking in this one it felt genuine and authentic. Great watch.

You kill it ... just kill it .... ride safe .!! Hello from Scotland 😄😄

Estou a gostar de seguir a tua viagem... Ganhaste mais um subscritor! Abraço de Portugal

Good work Pedro using a front tube. Safe travels from Australia.

Nice vid, just went through the same thing today in the desert of Arizona, USA

Parabéns irmão aventureiro, lhe desejo uma ótima viagem. 🇧🇷

Pedro, the mod is working very good. Your riding is rougher than mine so carry a front tube in case you slice the tire. Think about it, 1 sliced tire 5 years ago and how many punctures in that time. In all my years of riding 2 wheels i haven't sliced a tire but quite a few punctures. 10 minutes and you are on your way. I used the tape only and the tires are not losing air. Try it, you might like it. Safe riding and keep sharing with us.

You are a brave soul, Pedro!

Now I see why the 2020 Honda Africa Twin Adventure model has tubeless tires.

Transalp is a beast

Yeah RIMLOCK is a must for off-road riding, no worries any more !

Hey Pedro, I do get the 'kriebels' too when I hit up a town or village that is super touristic. Those wheel nuts can be a pain when a mechanic just doesn't know bikes as well as they think they do, I lost a axle that way a few years back. But we learn, always do as much as you can yourself so you know you can go on safely. ;-) Shiny side up! TIP: get some hollow metal tube which can slide over the ratchet handle to extend it, for the 'hefboom effect' make life easier getting things off!

Buenos vídeos. Más imágenes de la Moto rodando. Llevas una super Moto. A ver si la vemos mas

Hats off to you man... HATS OFF !!!

I do some motorcycle trips , 25% of my luggage is tools , you should take this big rock with you in case :)

Good fixing job my man 😉

You're one of my favourite moto vloggers.

Another awesome Pedro upload.

we miss videos like this! when are you going again Pedro?

OMFG !!! You rock ! Great stuff my man

Yes! Heidenau Tubes are much better than china-Tubes... Good luck on the road!

Keep it up my friend.

Put air in the tube so it doesn't get pinched, use nothing but water on the rim as a lube, anything else may cause the tyre to rotate again. GO TUBELESS CONVERSION.

Great videos! These pearls of wisdom do not come cheaply! I'll be looking for your book online and at the bookstores! Peace.

Like others, the music was great.

8:52 VW on a tow as always :-))))))))

Love your videos

pedro buen viaje por america desde argentina

As I said before, use tubeless and you are read to go. As the patches tend to get loose over time, especially in hot and cold conditions

Breaker bar is a more reliable socket wrench....you can just use your heel...2nd hint RIM LOCKS ....or get bikes with tubeless tires...AND carry spare tube?

mooi boerenbruin kleurtje heb je

Go tubeless my man tubeless can be fixed in 5 min to get you to next town . 😊😉😉😉

Indeed the Lord is with you my brother

Nice trip bro !!

Thanks great video love to see problems some world tours have by the way how did you are Tire up

Good luck!

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Maybe time for a bib mousse?

Maybe this is covered in the ‘Make Alp Great Again’ series but wasn’t the Transalp fitted with a centre stand as standard? Anyways, great to see you stumbling but getting back up, honestly Pedro it’s inspiring stuff.

Doing a 1 week trip the tube thing happened to me as well, ripped the value stem right off. Bigger bike, no rim lock, at the time, riding aggressively. So since then I always have a spare front and rear tube. %#@^$& happens.

Stepping on the spanner with your leg has far more force, than trying to turn it with your arm.

👍🎈

Great video... and even I don't like motorcycles... :)

What rear shock are you using when you did your rebuild. Where did you order it from?

Nice! The Altiplano desert is quite amazing, specially when you realize its so high up. How are you coping with altitude sickness?

Hey Pedro would you say flat tires on your trips are a big problem ,how many have you had in your many trips .Any tips .Thanks

I'm face same problem in my ride

I was wondering how do you keep your camera on during journeys like this? Like do you carry a lot of batteries or do you use solar power or just use some power banks?

How did you inflate the tube?

do you have a dutch registration on your bike? or is it UK eddit i watchte the whole video i can see youre dutch if i have a qaud i would like to ride with you i am from drenthe btw

would converting your bike to tubeless tires be better? just carry a plug kit with you.

Where are the pannier bags ? That looks very top heavy

Doh! Always carry a spare front tube mate.

Hang on you have an entire bottle of lube but no extra rear tube? Are you trying to get yourself stranded?

Hey Pedro, why no center stand?

What kind of bike is that?

Where is you planned route ?

Is that a vape in your hand at 8:10

Don’t take Fanta in Chile, take Crush.

Are you a Quebecer? That accent sounds familiar...

Pedro onde aprendeste Português? És da Holanda mas o teu nome é português, os teus pais são portugueses ou brasileiros?

Dont they have tubeless tires?

How did you pump it?

Hey mate, if Charly Sinewan was able to get a brand new BMW from the manufacturer, why can't you do the same with Honda?... Charly has very little charisma and very poor social skills ( I speak Spanish ) and was able to pull that off.... Have you tried to reach them to sponsor you at least with spare parts instead of limping your way around with crude patches to the bike?..... Or a new bike for that matter!.... You are the king of bullshit and a charmer ( I mean this in a good sense ) , at least try, we like your travels and interaction with people around your travels.... Keep it up mate!...
