Summary

Harold Serrano was not a motorcyclist, he didn't have a licence to ride a bike, in fact other than a few little rides messing around Harold had no experience with motorcycles. But he did decide that the easiest and cheapest way to get around South America was on a motorcycle, so he got one. What Harold didn't realize was that he was grossly unprepared for a motorcycle travel adventure. He did however have passion, determination and a goal, and those three things combined are powerful forces that can overcome just about any trouble - at least the trouble Harold found.
