There’s something to be said about towering mountains and glaciers so gigantic they markedly lower the ambient temperature for miles around. There’s something to be said for Patagonia because it affects […]]]> https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/patagonia-mi-amor/feed/ 2 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/40-days-and-40-nights/ https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/40-days-and-40-nights/#comments Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:01:30 +0000 https://hasadv.com/?p=5754 After a fair amount of sweat and tears, I’m finally reunited with my motorbike. It runs super, and I couldn’t ask for more. Wow! What a feeling to be in the saddle again! Thank you to everyone who helped soften this expensive and emotional time.

The same part costs half that in the U.S. Like everything else, these bikes cost double in Chile. And sure enough, the parts cost double, too. I decided to order the new ECU from a dealer in the U.S. Even with […]]]> https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/how-to-avoid-import-taxes-on-a-parcel-from-the-u-s-to-chile/feed/ 3 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/an-update-on-the-motorbike/ https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/an-update-on-the-motorbike/#comments Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:16:03 +0000 https://hasadv.com/?p=5746 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/an-update-on-the-motorbike/feed/ 2 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/does-travel-really-kill-prejudice/ https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/does-travel-really-kill-prejudice/#comments Mon, 19 Jan 2015 04:27:51 +0000 https://hasadv.com/?p=5740 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/does-travel-really-kill-prejudice/feed/ 3 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/a-scary-ride-to-santiago/ https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/a-scary-ride-to-santiago/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2015 13:45:13 +0000 https://hasadv.com/?p=5735 The day I recovered the bike from the police, I asked the tow truck driver for the cost to take the bike to Santiago. I knew this was an inevitability, and I wanted to shop around. He insisted 140,000 Chilean pesos was a “super” cheap deal. I tucked that number away and decided to try […]]]> https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/a-scary-ride-to-santiago/feed/ 13 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/what-to-do-with-a-cut-ignition/ https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/what-to-do-with-a-cut-ignition/#comments Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:51:43 +0000 https://hasadv.com/?p=5729 I’ve spent the last few days in Viña del Mar, Chile attempting to repair the cut ignition wires on my stolen motorbike. What I thought would be a simple reconnect has turned into a potentially serious repair that I’m not able to do myself. The thieves cut into the ignition to hot wire the engine, […]]]> https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/what-to-do-with-a-cut-ignition/feed/ 9 https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/the-ins-and-outs-of-replacing-a-stolen-passport-abroad/ https://hasadv.com/adventures/tour-of-the-americas/the-ins-and-outs-of-replacing-a-stolen-passport-abroad/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:30:41 +0000 https://hasadv.com/?p=5725 I’m traveling with a friend who also lost a good deal of money and his credit cards when the thieves stole my bike. He also lost three passports — one each for his three nationalities. He’s traveling on a Colombia passport in Chile but needs the U.S. passport to go home.
