Solo, riding a BMW styled Russian built Ural motorcycle/sidecar named Burro, I take the viewer for a ride in the sidecar while traveling through Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile & Argentina. The film conveys the distance traveled, almost 1/3 of the away around the world. Burro Has Three Wheels© is a multi-episode, 3 hour, 2 DVD (reality style) travel documentary filmed from Portland OR, to "The End of the World" Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina, along the Pan-American Highway, with an extra section, "Mexico".
My wife and I were inspired after watching Long Way Round (not A Long Way Around) and Motorcycle Diaries. Having never ridden a motorcycle more than 150 miles from home, I set out from Portland Oregon to Mexico on February 6, 2006. Realizing how much fun I was having, I decided to just keep going, all the way to the end of the road, Fin Del Mundo, Argentina.
I thought about purchasing a KTM, BMW or Kawasaki KLR 650 for the trip, but since I already had the Ural, I figured, why not just take it.
All along the way, people kept calling me the North American Che.
With no sponsorship and after nearly four months on the road, I returned home and began editing what maybe the first video documentary detailing the route along the Pan-American Highway.
The finished products includes all countries I traveled through. The DVD's include my commentary and incorporates great music from artists such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Isaac Hayes, Lloyd Jones, Robbie Laws, Red Garland, Terry Robb, Pancho Sanchez, DK Stewart, Mark Dufresne, Jim Mesi and Benny Velarde.
I would certainly appreciate it if you would let individuals you think might be interested in this type of motorcycle trek know about my website address. Movie preview is available at motorcycletrips.net
