[S2 - Eps. 49] Parts breaking off my Royal Enfield Himalayan to see this: Cono de Arita, Argentina

In this episode I am riding from El Penon in Argentina to Tolar Grande on my Royal Enfield Himalayan. This is a very desolate and remote area in Argentina and the roads are tough! All the corrugated roads (also known as washboard) are beating up my motorcycle and me. When I finally arrived in Tolar Grande, I lost one part and broken another...

[S1 - Eps. 124] RUN, Basanti, RUN!

Want to know what gear & equipment I use?



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright people, I've almost reached the Netherlands! From Vienna to the border with Holland is about 1200 kilometers, so let's ride 600 kilometers today to make it half-way Germany.

Now is not the time for exploring. It is time for a mission: reach The Netherlands after being away for a year and seeing everybody again.

But let's not forget: it will be a short stay and I will prepare for the next adventure which will start very soon: Patagonia to Alaska!!

Run, Basanti, run!

PREPARATION UPDATE...

A short update of what's going on!

An important improvement I was looking for was regarding the windshield. To reduce the turbulent wind hitting me in the face, I bought a taller windshield online and installed it.

I can't say that I'm entirely wind-free, but it's a big improvement!

The website where I found this windshield is

[S2 - Eps. 5] FIX THAT PUNCTURE!

Part 2 of the first day's ride. Can you believe that luck of catching a nail in the tyre on day numero 1?! On the other hand, this was good practice because it took me 2,5 hours to change the tube. I'm sure next time it will be faster!

But besides the thunderstorm, mud and flat tyre of this day, it was absolutely fantastic. Great trails, beautiful country side and a lot of wildlife keep me happy at any day! I hope tomorrow will be a slightly easier day though..

[S2 - Eps. 4] HERE WE GO AGAIN...

The first real riding day of this new adventure and wow, what a day!
This day was so long and full of unexpected events that I had to turn this into two episodes!

I was looking forward to riding dirt in Argentina, and dirt I found! But a sudden thunderstorm, slippery mud and a nail on the road turned this day into one that I won't easily forget..

[S2 - Eps. 26] An afternoon with an unusual surviving glacier

In this episode I am riding from Torres del Paine National Park to El Calafate in Argentina to see the impressive Perito Moreno glacier. You can easily spend hours watching big chunks of ice breaking off the face of the glacier, what a place!

[S2 - Eps. 47] Can somebody please explain me THIS?

In this episode I am riding a shorter ride from Fiambala to Belen in Argentina. My intentions are to see some sights along the way such as a 18th century church and pre-Inca ruins but I am not very successful! Luckily, I managed to see a Catholic procession in Belen that evening which was interesting to watch.

[S2 - Eps. 58] I’m LOST at 4,600 meters altitude in BOLIVIA

I am riding my Royal Enfield Himalayan on the Ruta de las Lagunas in Bolivia. This is day three and things are becoming more difficult. Heavy rainfall made some of the tracks hard to ride, but mostly, it was difficult to navigate. I kept on getting lost on all the tracks and ended up riding some narrow gorge at high altitudes by myself. But what an incredibly beautiful area!!

[S2 - Eps. 16] A walk through JURASSIC times - Bosques Petrificados de Jamarillo, Argentina

Today I'm leaving Comodoro Rivadavia and via an amazing road (Ruta Provincial 93), I arrive at a petrified forest: Bosques Petrificados de Jamarillo.

These fossil trees are 150 million years old, and were growing in a time when dinosaurs roamed the planet!

But the day is slipping away from me and I can't reach my destination for the day: Puerto Deseado. Plan B has to come in action!
