Mark Wallace travels the world on his BMW R1200 GS Adventure
My motorcycle is named Shifty Drifty, and now I have a Brand New YouTube channel with the same name!
Shifty Drifty is more than just the name of my motorcycle, it’s a way of life. This is the story of Shifty Drifty, it takes place in 2017 in Russia and Mongolia while I was riding around the world on my BMW R1200 GSA.
After more than a year since our adventure in Chile, I’ve reunited with Ayleen Martinez for a tour of Colombia. We’re documenting our journey in a new YouTube series, in English and Spanish! It’s the Colombia VLOG 2021. I’ve embedded the playlist below so you can keep up with the latest adventures.
If all goes as planned, I’ll be back in Colombia in just a few weeks. Of course, during these unpredictable days, anything can change at a moment’s notice.
I’ve been locked down in Argentina since March 20, 2020. We are still in quarantine here in Buenos Aires. For those of you who are counting, that’s just over seven months.
The government has been slowly phasing in different businesses since June. Last week they finally reopened the airports for limited service. All of that adds up to good news for me – I’m finally able to leave Argentina with my motorcycle.
After a few months, my new laptop and editing gear finally arrived! The first episode in a new series is finally on YouTube and more are on the way.
I’ve added a few bonus photos at the end of this post for you to enjoy!
In the first episode of STORIES I share my Patagonia riding adventure that took place in February 2020. This was the last ride I had before the world changed and I was locked down in Buenos Aires.
I rode from Cartagena, Colombia all the way to Ushuaia, Argentina. This story begins when I meet Ayleen Martinez and we explore the Carretera Austral.
