Attempting to ride my KTM 500 around the world alone!
My name is Landon Bishoff, I'm just a kid who grew up in a small farm town trying to follow an unquenchable desire to be outside exploring. In 2021 I took a leap of faith and decided I would Motorcycle across the United States. Starting at the Mexico border and a couple thousand miles later I arrived at the Canadian border. The trip changed my life. It gave me a confidence in myself to take on some of my "loftier" dreams of mine.
So here I am now down in Mexico sleeping in washes, eating tacos, practicing my Spanish, and attempting this 11,000 + mile route I built. Its gonna be a rowdy one guys so sit back and enjoy! Cheers friends!

Is this Armed Robbery? Men Demand Money or I can't pass!! EP | 105
While traveling in the mountains of Guatemala on my motorcycle towards Tikal & Flores I ran across a section filled with scammers and men basically threatening me to pay to continue on or else! I've personally never seen this before to this degree. I've seen blockades and people asking for money, but never this forceful!
In total I was stopped 4 different times! On the last one I put my foot down, and was able to pass without paying anything. I was really scared since I was surrounded and the men had pick axes to "Work" on the road.

I don’t know how you don’t have 100k subs!
The filming on this episode is especially beautiful. Nicely done 👌
I haven't seen all your videos yet, just found you. Did you ever do one where you did a review of your bike? Can you show your moto fully packed please? I am looking for a new bike in Colombia soon and never considered KTM, but after watching your videos I will rethink. It's so light! I want to learn how to ride offroad better to have more fun, but wouldn't know how in Southamerica without spanish speaking abilities. How is the KTM on long distance highway rides?
Landon, the roadblocks, good grief! I had to pause it and get some popcorn, thought we were going to have some WWF Smackdown to watch! Dude, honestly I don't know how you don't have a gazillion subscribers, really. I watch a lot of moto stuff, from Charly Sinewan to Itchy Boots; and you make some of the best stuff I watch, my favorite actually. Keep up the great work, I always look forward to a new episode! 😀
Now that you’ve had time to think back on what happened, do you think it would have been better to turnaround and look for another road after the first stop? You knew there were more stops coming, why continue to expose yourself to a bad situation? I’m glad that you ore o.k. but you know how things can get out of control in an instant.
Man, never show your wallet to anyone
Love the video! It’s crazy the sketchy situations you get in!
One meal a day is not good. I hope you will not do it. You're getting thinner. Having a right meal and proper diet is still important. Keep safe always.
It's sad to know that danger awaits any time of the day. Please keep safe always Landon. God be with you. I'm always watching and waiting for your vlogs.
best not to turn your motor off when at those scam blockades just in case
crazy they just charge money for using a track. why would anyone go there
Good old national Hwy5. We got shook down twice on a rainy day. Had a shovel waved at me. Totally understand the emotions. All in all totally worth it for a paddle in the coolest swimming location we have ever visited. Look forward to your visit to what we considered the highlight of Central America, Tikal!
I thought you appeared to be thinner in the most recent episodes. You're burning up a lot of calories. Need to keep on the feedbag. The way I see it, you've been so tremendously blessed by people on your adventures. You're bound to run into some folks looking to take advantage of you. The inate flight or fight instincts were aroused. The tension was palpable. You handled the situation admirably. I appreciate your self-awareness. Another great episode! I enjoy it when I learn things from your videos. And remember...when in doubt, do the kindest thing. ✌️
Nice video
Pathetic scabs. The country is already in complete shambles and they choose to scare away the few tourists that come through? This is why i will NEVER have pity for the poor.
U have alot of patience with them beggers. I would've made them look like raccoons . 2 black eyes.
Scary! Stay safe!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice vlog
Highway robbery I guess that’s where that term comes from. I just think you could’ve used that money to buy a new tires.🤣🤣🤣 the dude slipping behind you with the pickax definitely unnerving. I think you handled it well. Hopefully you don’t run anymore of that.
That’s some of the most extreme trails I’ve seen. Not even a horse could’ve managed them. Well done for making your way through
I’m with you brother! Easily the hardest route I’ve done with the bags on
👍
I've learned in my travels to keep small amounts of money in different places on me, so no one knows how much I have when I pull out a couple of dollars to pay for something. The springs were very cool! , such a beautiful place!
That’s a good idea. After the first one I moved some money around. It wasn’t bad at all I only gave them like 5 bucks total. So it was really nothing. It’s just stressful since you never know who your dealing with and how much they are gonna try and escalate
@LandonBishoff if they would have seen you had more money they probably would have taken it all one way or another. You can never know how desperation will make someone act.
By giving them money in the first place you set yourself up for more blockades. You should have denied the first one!
Who knows, my thoughts were don’t run since I was told this area was dangerous. They would have just called ahead and said block this dude and strip him of everything! If you piss them off I think they could have gotten a lot more violent.
I’m so glad to see you eating dear. That was flat out scary. The last one was the only one that truly worried me. Thankfully all went well. I would definitely stay off the smaller back roads until you are totally out of the area. Stay safe and God Bless. Oh yes the river. It was amazing.
Thanks as always for looking out for me Tammy! Yeah will do! I’m out of the area now
Intense! I watch a lot of these moto clogger channels and have only seen this happen once before on Norly's channel. But he chickened out at the last moment. Has this happened before off camera?
Yeahh I saw those ones as well on hers. Nope this is the first time it’s ever happened to me. In Mexico I stumbled on a similar thing but they didn’t have the road blocked like that with a rope. They were just standing in the road working and asking.
Those scams are infuriating, especially when it's only for gringos 🤬
Yeahh and I don’t think many pass through there so those dudes gotta try and capitalize when they can
Beautiful river/springs you visited,,,,, You're lucky those "highwaymen" had at least something to live for tomorrow or it could have gotten much worse quickly! Stay safe my friend!
Yeahhh it’s always tricky playing that game! You never know who you are dealing with
Hey bro watch out In the next video they're going to try to rob you😂
Hahah dude this made me laugh really hard😂😂 that’s funny!
Those guys should be arrest!!! Just like it happened to Norely the two guys joking ask her for money we’re taking to court!!!
Yeahh they put a bad name to their communities.
11:10 Duuuuuuude..... too cool!
Haha thanks!
Get a couple buddies Go back to that working crew and try to find their boss 👎
Exactly! Funny what a little string across the road leads to 😂
Intermittent fasting is good as long as you eat really well for about an hour 4-5 hours before going to sleep. Fruit, dairy, lots of protein and carbs 💪
Yeahh I like fasting, I’m just not getting enough calories for how much I’m burning ya know. It’s something I plan on doing long term it’s just hard to control it right now how I’d like
He definitely called ahaead and told on you.
He was just being a good friend to his buddies though haha
Beautiful springs those guys were aggressive! Glad you controlled the situation Prayers and blessings for safe travels 🙏🏼
Totally! Such a unique and beautiful area! The guys however were a bit much yes! 😂 glad I made it out without really any issues at all.
Great video my Brotha ! You definitely handled those road hustlers better than I would have .
Thanks Brad! Tried my best.
The springs were interesting a unique and nice place to cool off. Oh baby the men who tried to bully you into paying money, scared me, but you handled the situation calmly as you always do. Prayers for your journey! As always cool ride! ❤
Yeah the pools were super beautiful! But the men were a pretty big turn off haha. Wild their were so many
Really superb video London
Thanks!

I just love your “tent mode” moments…… It’s when I start looking more closely at the surroundings.
Haha me too! It always gets me excited to see what I’ll find
Increíble el corazón que tienes Landon.😊
Ahh gracias mi amigo! Estoy tratando el mejor que puedo
Muy bien episodio Landon, cuídate!!
Gracias Daniel!
What a LEGEND!! I see that you camp extensively, aren't you afraid of spiders & snakes while getting in/out of the tent? I cannot imagine myself in that situation, even though I am absolutely impressed by what you do. I have an extreme fear of venomous creatures. Have you ever encountered any while on camping? Keep doing what you do, glad to watch this masterpiece :)
To be honest I’ve been super lucky to have not encountered any venomous creatures. I’ve seen some snakes, but not while camping really. Not sure if I’m lucky or what, but they haven’t been an issue for me thankfully
I'm currently sitting in my tent in Loreto, Baja California Sur watching this video. Living the dream my friend. I've been on the road for a month now.
That’s so cool my friend! I love to read that!
I’ve been watching you from the beginning and I love your content. Time for some tough love. Ask yourself what riding skills have you mastered during your journey? You should be standing up more than sitting down. You spend most of your time riding, so master the skills necessary to not fall off anytime the terrain gets remotely difficult. Stop sitting down ! Do some research, go take some riding courses. Invest in yourself
Hey thanks my friend! Advice is always accepted! I do need to get better at standing up more often.
@ I appreciate your hard work putting all these videos together. It has inspired me greatly. To the point of buying a KTM and slowly collecting gear to go on a big adventure one day. Much appreciated sir
Awesome vid as always! BDW, I was born in Guatemala. Haven’t been there since 1997! Would you consider showing us on a map the routes you take on each episode? Kind of what itchy boots does? I’m a map guy, and I love that stuff! Happy travels!
That’s a good idea I just haven’t got into the habit of it. I think it’s a good idea and in the future I’d like to implement it forsure
Enjoyed the history, the fort, churches and details about the boats taking shelter in the port…
Thanks! Yeah sailing is super interesting to me and I hope to get to do some in the future
You mentioned always have the bike title. Does that mean you cannot travel there on a bike that is financed?
Yeah you know I actually don’t carry the original title just a copy. I would say actually you don’t need it, however it did help me once with a confused border agent. But normally registration alone is fine. Sometimes they will say Title and I always just give them the registration. They’ve never rejected me for that. I’m not sure if there is a different piece of paperwork you can give showing that you don’t own the bike yet but you are in charge of its ownership. Other countries could be different, but at least for Central America registration alone has worked for me.
It's so smoky there, assuming it's ranchers burning the old crop or possible wildfire but air quality doesn't look so great.
👍
Thanks!
Ahh thank you Richard! I really do appreciate this! It goes a long ways!
Subscribers are climbing. I think you're going to make it! Best career choice ever.
He needs a latina in his video and the algos would pick it up, 104 videos and only 7k, he should have 50k subs by now. "Local girl takes me into her hood" or something like that 😂
Little by little my friend! 👍👍
We sure do connect with your journey. We loved your destination very much. Look forward to your visit.
Ahh thanks guys! Looking forward to the day I get to meet you guys!
