The last frank12 video is so gorgeous (and having watched all his past videos) it has convinced me to buy a motorcycle and explore the island like he does.
Here are some notes that may help determine what bike I should have:
1. I'm 44, 6"2",190, athletic- have done a lot of mountain biking
2. I would like to be able to travel all but the roughest of roads, however am NOT seeking out technical trails.
3. I would probably graduate to doing longer type day trips, maybe to 7 hours or so.
4. I'll be riding a lot of dirt roads.
5. Have a 5,000 or so budget unless a few thousand more would buy a much better bike.
6. I am thinking used bike. Does this make sense??
7. I am entirely NON-mechanical. Someone would have to fix my bike.
8. I speak spanish well.
9. I do not have any motorcycle riding experience, but learn fast.
10. I'll be based out of Esperanza, 30 min. NW of Santiago.
Thanks for any input.
