Guatemalan POLICE escorts Dutch biker and her motorcycle through area with BANDITS |S6-E65|

In this episode, I called in the help of the Guatemalan police because I have to cross an area with frequent attacks and robberies by bandits. They tell me not to go alone but go with an escort. Things turn out quite differently and the police end up riding my motorcycle across!

    Not all of them are like that unfortunately. I’m glad the police officer did that. Gave me hope that there is change coming to all police officers in Guatemala. Most of them have 6th grade education that are waiting to retire. Most common education level is now 9th grade and supposedly they now want college graduates only. I myself have never been harassed or asked for money to go through but it’s a common everyday practice. Be very careful down there, masked men, with machetes and guns Usually hide in bushes on dirt roads, especially in the western part of the country.

    Late Atitlan sees a lot of foreign visitors, including backpackers and language students. They know they have to keep it somewhat safe (safer than a lot of Guatemala) to keep tourists coming and bringing money (fancy police cars are a clue). (Note: even the road out of San Marcos has banditos at time, normally going after walking tourists). San Pedro is great, especially around Semana Santa time. A wonderful place to spend some time at a langauge school to learn Spanish and do a homestay. San Marcos is much quieter with basically only one road through town. The lake is a wonderful place to spend some time, though as everywhere it is facing environmental issues.

Quieren cerrar la ruta de la droga sudamericana hacia Europa, debilitando al Cartel del Golfo, Cartel de La Familia, Cartel de Cali y Cartel de Medellín para luego sacarlos también como los rusos haciendo que la alianza Hells Angels y Bloods sea más influyente y poderosa. en Centro y Sudamérica. Tengo acceso a información de Hells Angels y Bloods de alto rango. Ellos negarán esto hasta que se haga, pero no esperes a que sea demasiado tarde para prevenir lo que viene, tienes que informar a tus líderes. Debes salvar el trabajo de tus antepasados ​​boicoteando y matando a los miembros locales de Hells Angels y Bloods, líderes de capítulos y líderes de alto rango lo antes posible, cuanto más alto sea el rango, mejor, pero un miembro sigue siendo un miembro. Es hora, mañana puede ser demasiado tarde. Creen que sus objetivos no se darán cuenta y evitarán su caída antes de que sea demasiado tarde, pero desafortunadamente la información salió a la luz. ¡Haz tu parte para que esto no suceda, demuestra tu valía! ¡Por el arduo trabajo y los sacrificios de los ancestros y por el futuro de los niños!

    "tame"??? It's 300cc. It's an appropriate size / weight for a smaller person but woefully underpowered for bad surfaces. Only way to "tame" it is to max it out. Timidity kills. The policeman just gave it big handfuls of throttle, nothing special or clever. Noraly needs to follow his example and rev A LOT harder and speed up generally. If it was a 650 with bags of low-rev torque then maybe she'd get away it and fall off less...but it would be too big n heavy to pick up. She chose it for its size (wisely I think) but the flip side is she has to compensate for low power low torque by REVVING IT HARDER!

She switches out of 1st gear way to early. She always slows to a stop when she sees a hill or dirt and then just allows herself to fall over. I really hope she learned from the officer that Alaska has plenty of power if she would just use it.

    She's from a colonial country, they always do things like this. They take the dangerous road on purpose. They get killed in places like Afghanistan all the time. They believe that they have a right to go where they want and the locals will leave them alone or protect them because they are from a "civil" country. So they can return home and tell their friends over tea how they went through the barbaric area safely. I'm from a non colonial European country, no one from my country would dare think they had a right to use your police time like this.

What most of us see as scary, threatening or nearly impossible, she sees as an opportunity to interact with the local residents and to challenge herself further in her great adventure. "To protect and serve" is the motto of many local police organizations. Obviously in this section of Guatemala it is "To protect, serve and ride!" whenever one gets the chance.

I think social media, always 'on' news etc (and remember bad news sells) along with many governments using 'divide and rule' and 'hostile environment' makes people scared and untrusting. Humans just want to get along and have fun. Bad areas still have good people. Just be open, honest, still alert but treat people how you want to be treated. It works

The civil police now days are trained in human relations and are more professional as the requirements to become one are more strict. Enjoy the country and be safe and be aware of your surroundings like any other country. Crime happens anywhere, but Guatemala for the most part is safe.

    Admirable la valentía de la turista Holandesa. Gracias por visitar nuestro país. Esta sección de la carretera entre Santiago y San Pedro, da miedo por la delincuencia. Pero gracias por la escolta que ofrece la PNC. Este paso no es apto para cardíacos. Hasta cuándo asfaltarán este tramo? o por lo menos que se le de mantenimiento. God Bless you dear friend. Thankyou for visit our country.
