Through the Darién Gap with Helge Pedersen - Lessons from his first ride up the Pan-American Highway

Adventure motorcycle legend Helge Pedersen recounts his journey and lessons learned on his first R80G/S adventure motorcycle ride from Ushuaia to Panama, through the treacherous Darién Gap. Not just “off-road“ - in the Darién Gap there are NO roads or vehicle trails, just the Cuna indian foot paths. It took Helge 20 days to travel 80 miles, crossing the border from Colombia into Panama. For more than ten years, Helge and Olga, Helge’s sturdy BMW motorcycle, traveled in vagabond style. Their journey took them across five continents and over 250,000 miles, more than ten times the actual distance around the world!
