- Riding through crazy landslides in Ecuador on my Honda CB500X
This was the craziest bit of riding I've had to do to date. Riding from the Amazonian town of Macas to the beautiful colonial Andean city of Cuenca you must ride through the mountains, which can be affected severely by landslides. I saw and went through several landslides that had happened earlier and been cleared away. Nothing could have prepared me for coming across a fresh landslide, and then having to cross it to continue. Rocks were still falling down, and while a whole lot of people were stuck and waiting others chose to just power over the mud. Some of these people were crazy and absolutely flying. I psyched myself up and crossed, but it was so scary with the rocks still coming down on the left, a sheer cliff drop-off to the right, and the surface just a thick and deep mud pit. I was very happy when I got to the other side. What an experience!

Enjoyed watching it. The picture quality is really high, sound quality great as well. Views beautiful.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
Gracias senor, 63 just retired in Cuenca , Been riding since 14 years old. Got honda Navi 110 cc to get around town. Love it . Laid it down trying to pass a bus in the rain . Nursing my stupid self inflicted wounds. Want to get a light city bike that is strong and comfortable enough to get me to the coast. Do you you
Hey! 👋🏼 Cuenca is a beautiful spot, congratulations! Sorry to hear about your off, it definitely happens. Hope you recover soon!
Ride safe bro from Philippines 🇵🇭
🙏🏼 😊
You had me riveted to my seat in this video ! My daughter has a 2018 CB500X with which she is planning to tour the USA. Would you mind sharing some info regarding your bike please ? Miles/issues/likes/dislikes ? Anything would be appreciated. Safe travels.
Hello! Im glad you enjoyed it, it was quite the experience. Happy to answer any specific questions, but for the stuff you requested (likes, mileage, problema etc) Ive made a few videos. You can check out my 1,000/10,000/50,000km reviews Ive done and uploaded on my channel. I’ve shared most of my thoughts there
Forgive me Ken, I am behind in this series of yours. I need to catch-up.
I came to your Channel today to ask what part of Canada do you reside in when you are not traveling.?
Any chance you might be in or around Calgary on Sat, Feb 3rd.? 😎 🏍 😺
Im from the Greater Toronto Area. And sadly will no be around Calgary in Feb. I’m in South America, and Calgary is too cold in Feb anyways hahaha
I ENVY YOU Ken.!! Hope to meet you one day, introduce you to all my 'Round the World (RTW) MotoFriends.
Hi Ken, are you selling your bike in SA when finished your trip?
I am in Brazil and could be interested in buying for my trip to Canada
Hey 👋🏼. I will not be parting with my loyal steed, she’s the perfect adventure bike for me. But if you joint Facebook groups there is a couple for buying and selling bikes for the Panam (Panam riders association etc). Your gonna have a blast!!!
Thanks Ken, have a great trip @@kenshapperttravelstheworld8845
Bonus: begs the question, why did the chicken cross the road? Oh wait, never mind.
Makes me think; what came first, the chicken or the egg?? 🤔
Omggg!! I cannot believe you crossed through that mud of a sliding mountain… That looked scary as F@&k!! 😅😅😅 well done bro… Very cool video… Thanks for sharing, stay safe and make sure to cook something healthy and good to give you lots of energy… Get your proteins vegetables and increase your water LFG Peru 👏👏💪💪💪⚡️⚡️💯💯💯🫵🤝
Ah man it was crazy. I came around The córner after passing miles of cars, and rocks were still falling down! I thought “no way I can/want to cross that”. Then some mental lad in a jeep just blasted over it, waaay to fast. And I figured it’s better than taking a 6 hour detour. Definitely the scariest thing I’ve done to date. Ah man, the fruit is easy, but it’s hard to eat healthy and fresh veggies on the road. I can feel it. We try lol
@@kenshapperttravelstheworld8845 very cool, brother… Stay safe… And as for the nutrition… Just keep up with the protein and fruit and lots of water (avocados, beans, good power, etc.)… That’s all 💪💪👏👏enjoy 🤝
