The thing is, motorbikes do give the ultimate in freedom … check out C90Adventures or Itchyboots on youtube, they’ve travelled the world in a free manner that wouldn’t be possible by other means.
I have several motorbikes, the ones I use outside of competition are very quiet. They give me freedom.
I am thinking of getting a bike and exploring the south american continent but I know nothing about bikes. Where do I begin looking? Recommend me shows, yt channels, books and bike models please!!
Look at those two channels I mentioned in my comment above. They both went to South America.
If you know nothing about bikes, learn how to ride properly before you go (and if you’re in the US, get more lessons than the minimum needed for your license). For South America you only need a small bike, like a 150cc. They’re easier to handle, cheaper to buy and run, and a good second hand one will attract less attention.
Yeah, there are cool bikes of all sorts for sure, I would like to try sometimes. I was just saying the particular bike (harleys, choppers, big loud things) and lifestyle that was sold as freedom was anything but, those bikes cost as much as a car now.

How’s your Spanish?

Yes, and Harleys are big and heavy which severely limits their freedom to paved roads and only maybe the most gentle of unpaved tracks.
So, freedom was available all along, but not from those trying to market it as a capitalist lifestyle
