0:00.0 | Wayne Kowth is headed for Yushuya, Argentina. |
0:04.0 | He's riding a Triumph Tiger rally, an adventure motorcycle, |
0:08.0 | because that's the point of Wayne's trip |
0:10.0 | to find some adventure. |
0:11.0 | To get off the beaten track, explore areas other than the tourist route, |
0:15.3 | and find some challenges, like the trampoline of death, fabled to be one of the |

1:05.6 | and held at gunpoint by FARC guerrillas. A dangerous, scary encounter that they were |
1:10.9 | lucky to escape from, yet only a while later in the trip, |
1:15.0 | he's caught in some violent deadly protests in Peru. |
1:18.0 | And what's fascinating in Wayne's story, |
