Have you seen this 13000 km tour of South America?

Post by tomtic »

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I've just discovered a YouTube video of a chap who travelled 13000 km around South America on his PCX. His trip took 24 days at an amazing average of 539 km per day!
As well as the video he has a website for his journey (all in Spanish) with some great photos.
Surely, an inspiration for us all?!!!

Very impressive!! I have always been weary about the lifespan of the belt, and now I know it is around 24'000km which is awesome!! Will have the current one changed at 20'000km if it survives the long trips I have planned...

Yes it is very impressive, especially as he was mostly camping (though the scoot doesn't seem to be carrying too much gear).
I think he speaks Portuguese, rather than Spanish as I said.
It definitely shows the scope of our little bikes doesn't it?!!!

No problem WhiteNoise! Thanks for helping out this technophobe!
But please let me in on the secret - how do I enter a web link? I used the [URL] tab .....but obviously incorrectly!

What a cool they enjoyed the trip. I hope to set up courage and put their PCX to run well. Here in Brazil the roads has many ripples and holes , the suspension it was not designed for Brazil , so after the trip I sold it because at the end of the year will make another trip with a Honda Biz 125 bound for the end of the world, city ​​of Ushuaia in Argentina.

Tom let's see if I can explain this right. How to add a YouTube to one's post:

1) In the reply message box type your message (as usual)

2) When adding a YouTube, click or tap the youtube button up above the message box (Below the Img and URL button). When you tap it, it will look like this: [youtube][/youtube]

3) Presuming you've already chosen a YouTube to add to your post, go ahead and Highlight the letters and digits of that YouTube link Using only those that follow the = sign.
Next you cut and paste them into the middle of the two youtube brackets (seen in step 2 above).

4) For my example I chose a YouTube with these letters and digits W5xTHZPB1wE that followed the = sign. When I'm finished with my post, I click the submit button and.....
Viola! Like magic my video appears like this:

P.S. Remember you can always print this info out for later use. Hope it made sense and works for ya'll :P Happy Trails!
