In it, Matias Corea lays out the 6-month journey to the tip of South America from Brooklyn on a 35-year-old Motorcycle.
The content is beautifully laid out and ranges from the ethereal (the kindness of strangers, reflections from the road) to the concrete: like what tools and gear to bring; and what not to bring.
Warning: buying this book might result in side effects including daydreaming, route-planning, obsessive research, and, in extreme cases, taking leave from everyday life to set out on a life-changing motorcycle trip of your own.
From the Publisher:
Go on the trip of a lifetime. Two Wheels South shows you how to realize your own journey.
Two friends take the motorcycle trip of their life—From Brooklyn to Patagonia. Matias Corea shares his insights on how to prepare, choose the right motorcycle, what to pack, how to plan the route, where to camp and last but not least: How to prepare your mind. Setbacks and breaking down are part of the adventure, but preparation and being on the road teach you the confidence to tackle any problem.
Follow Matias Corea and his friend Joel through the American South, Central America over the Darien Gap and beyond, over wooden cracking jungle bridges in Colombia and to dry lake high plateaus in Argentina. Feel the character of the roads and the smell of nature: Riding a motorcycle is one of the purest forms of traveling.
After 7 months and 13 countries Matias and Joel have learned a lot while riding down south on their trusty BMW air-cooled GS overland haulers and are ready to share their experience. Two Wheels South invites you on the experience of a lifetime.
