From Brazil to Ushuaia and next Alaska on a Honda 125cc motorcycle

[Savago]

Gentlemen

Just found out about this fine guy (Alfredo Souza) who rode from Brazil to Alaska on a Honda Biz 125cc and a Honda Wave 110cc.

Unfortunately, the article is in Brazilian Portuguese:

It seems that his first bike (the Biz) made it to Mexico but had mechanical problems. He next bought a cheap used Wave and proceeded to ride to Alaska and next made a long tour through the USA back to Mexico.

Once there, he fixed the Biz and proceeded to ride back to Brazil.

I'm still following his journey through his Youtube channel (again, only in Portuguese):

The whole trip is super low budget (he was spending 30-40 dollars a day) and he has a page for donations (https://apoia.se/diariodemotochileiro), always camping and cooking his own food.

Truly amazing and inspirational story.

I'll hafta check those out! I've been following the adventures (Even bought his movie, which was shipped on a Honda C90 shaped USB drive) of this guy, who's ridden a beat up Honda C90 all over the place. The main gist of his Youtube channel is a trip from Alaska to Argentina, but not taking the most direct route (As in when they got to Canada they decided, in winter, to ride their C90's to the Atlantic ocean across Canada before proceeding south)

Fair warning, there's a dude's butt in this link, you've been warned...

@Serk: Thanks for the warnings... (I wonder why the need to show his derriere?).
 

Concerning the Brazilian dude: apparently for the next leg of the trip (Europe) he bought a 'new' bike, a Honda Dream with 140K Km (87K miles).

He had the engine rebuilt and did some tuning to extract amazing(!!) 7 hp from it:

And here I'm complaining that my ST1300 with its 130-ish hp is not fast enough...

Got more than a few hours?
