Brainrotting Episode 20 - Volunteering in Guatemala BMW F650 Adventure Motorbike Travel Volunteer

Interview & footage of Julie Chappell, UK ambassador to Guatemala, courtesy of Phil Bouchard of Spike Productions.

See what happened when I stumbled across the incredible work being performed by the British charity Education For The Children at their school in Jocotenango, Guatemala.

I ride and I record. There's no editing of video's when I'm back at home, my video's are all edited on the road because I want to share my experiences as they happen, so...

Follow my journey through North, Central and South America. I've jacked in the job, packed my life into a pair of panniers and a roll bag and tied them down to a BMW F650 Dakar. Now it's time for some fun.

Hi, I've seen all of your vids, amazing travel. Now if you don't mind, do you have some observation for the motorcycle to share? I mean, it's one cylinder - wasn't it shaky? What about a seat? I heard it's quite firm for long distances. Power? As you were equipped with expeditional stuff, did you have enough power, or fuel comsumption. I know, who would bother but still, good to know. Did you make any modification to your motorcycle like 12V plug,...?

@compprufus And finally, after those thousands of miles, how the motorcycle behaved.

[easyg1409]

@compprufus I've suffered weird electrical problems for the last few thousand miles but mechanically the bike is amazing. In fact I have nothing but respect for it, afterall its hauled my arse all this way!

[easyg1409]

@compprufus I don't find the bike shakey, the one cylinder has amazing power & reliability. No valve adjustments after 67,000 miles. The set is something else though, the one thing I wished I'd replaced before heading off. It is quite literally a pain in the butt! For modifications I have most listed on brainrotting com, take a look if you want to see what I did to prepare the bike

Fantastic! Followed you from the start & I have to agree with Rashnak66. Good on you mate. This was a great episode. I trust there will still be more to come. Are all the women beautiful down there or is that a result of your extensive editing? BTW, I also hope you had time to rid yourself of your tan lines/white albeit proud bum while in Mexico. He! He! He! ;)

@easyg1409: LOL...maybe you can wear a toga (GOD Mode) in one of your video's.....Gee, now I feel like watching Ben Hur for some reason hahahaha.

That was the best video to date, fair dinkum; & yes, Amy is cute ;-)

Cheers.

Graham, I received the link and saved it to my computer. Thanks! Now I feel complete. Wyoming and Montana are wide-open and windy places with that truly American western flavor.
