Yes, she is very interesting and friendly, but Mark complained all the time, being in South America, "in the middle of nowhere" not bothering to be selfish and rude to the Chilean girl, who always smiled trying to be close, but not really what he likes. He'll be happy when he's in the Northern Hemisphere again, and of course without the sensual Chilean.
I'm insanely jealous. May the wind be always at your back.
Good job. Like many others who will watch this video -- I rode my bike in 2018 from Miami to Ushuaia on a R1200GSA. Many of your adventures and locations traveled, roads and winds are very real and memorable for me. I've been to South America 2 other times -- once to go to Antarctica via Chile and Argentina and the other for a month hiking in Peru. Like you, I don't speak a spit of Spanish -- so my experiences are similar. Keep them coming. Last year before the shut down -- I rode from Miami to Thailand -- only crossing water at the Atlantic -- between Toronto and London -- otherwise, all landlocked. This time, I took a BMW F850GSA -- much easier on the crap roads for the route. Keep these coming.
Cool vid! Man I did all Patagonia on motorcycle in winter time in 2017…. It was tough….. and cold!!!
I have followed your training and videos about photography for years. Now I find you share my passion for adventure riding and I am delighted. This was an exceptional video about an adventure that I had planned and was forced to cancel years back. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope that your guide Eyleen has gotten her bike back operational and is also doing well. Thanks again.

Amazing and very inspirational and motivational video Mark, well done, thank you for sharing it!! 👍👍
Such a good, high quality video, well done! Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes, that's my dream too. Passing through Patagonia, to ride on that famous highway!
What a remarkable adventure!
thanks so much for this brother! I recently drove a rental car from Buenos Aires to Patagonia (just the northern tip really - Puerto Madryn). It was a wonderful adventure but i saw so many people riding motorcycles on those remote roads - even local grandmas and kids - that I knew I need led to 1. Learn how to ride a motorcycle and 2. Commit to the adventure that I immediately came back to the states and started plotting my ride. I love your channel and your sense of wonder! - not just wanderlust although that’s ok too - but your appreciation for the beauty of nature. That’s what’s motivating me to get my shit together and get down there. Thank you!
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Such beautiful places.
Good to see you Mark!

Hey Bret! Thanks for watching. We'll have to ride together once I get back to the States.
Simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
It is very interesting and was for me an eye opener. I certainly did a double take to verify it was you Mark in this video. Myself having an interest in adventuring moto, seeing you in this video was a real appreciation. Spending many moments in the past viewing and learning the photographic tips from your Adorama videos and their store has been very helpful. Thank you I try to understand your stay as best as we all can in these times. Good times ahead to ya!

Nice video! always good to share travels with a fellow rider, and better if that rider is from the place you want to explore and can show you "secret" places away from tourism... When you said you were 7 months in Argentina I also remebered another rider/youtuber that was travelling the south americas and was in quarantine there for a long time too, maybe you heard from him, Pedro Mota... Thanks for taking the time to editing and sharing your videos!
Excellent video!! Thanks for sharing it!!!!!

Hi Mark, I am pleasantly surprised to meet you here on your motorcycle channel. I used to see some photography videos of you on you tube, but I didn't know you had a motor adventure channel. So I subscribed right away. Basically we have the same hobbies, photography and motorcycling. You can mainly find me in Scotland and Scandinavia. Grt, Marc from Belgium.
Nice trip, I'm a motorcyclist in Brazil, come back one day traveling through my country that will be welcome. I've already ridden this route that you show in this video, it's one of the most beautiful in South America.
Nice video. Fantastic scenery. I lived in Chile for 2 years a long time ago. Longing to go back one day. Greetings from Sweden.
yeah beybe! your new subscriber from the Philippines
Great video! It came up on my feed and after watching it I thought,I’ll checkout your other motorcycle travel videos and there isn’t any? Are you planning more? if not you produced a great one 🍻

Any place very beautiful view
Patagonia is incredible. Is it any wonder that an outdoor clothing company would brand themselves "Patagonia." A slow trip through Patagonia is near the top of my bucket list, but I better do it soon because I'm 63yo. Well, at least, I lived in the US Pacific Northwest (a place which also has an abundance of natural beauty) for 16 years of my life and took as much advantage of that situation as I could, considering that I was working for Microsoft 50-70 hours/week.
Great trip and what a great girl Ayleen is. You guys looked close :)
Mark in short I say Adventure is your riding story well done all a around 🏍✅🌈
Great mark wall I love you

Beautiful beautiful place. I would love to do all that on my motorbike.
I had trouble with wind when I had a GSA. I had to do some travel on the interstate Highway, and winds were blowing,e sideways. I had full panniers and top case. They aren’t very aerodynamic. I got off and took longer side roads home, and that was very nice, in the Ozarks of Arkansas. So I didn’t mind that at all. It was just dangerous in high winds.
23:15 Mountain winds can be wicked. On major highways in mountainous areas of the US, you will often see signs warning of strong crosswinds. (Is "mistral" only a term for the European mountain winds, or any?) In South America, many of these winds end up dumping into the Straits of Magellan. (They are also the reason that it is suggested that the best place for camping in mountains is neither the valley nor the tops but in between.)
Good luck Make!
Started a conversation with my coworker Kevin Paine about Cameras and guess what Mark? He was like Ge, we used to have a coworker .... bla bla bla! Stories and More Stories about Mark!
