加拿大那两口子的摩旅贴不知道什么原因遭和谐了，可惜了了，这回给各位老铁搬个美女来。为了降低遭和谐的可能性，这次就不放原贴的链接了，不过我会把原文搬过来供大家拜读，一来有的朋友不喜欢看翻译过来的东西，二来翻译的过程中难免出现走样，甚至错误。闲言碎语不要讲，咱们现在就开席吧。
So a couple of years back, I kind of accidentally ended up riding across South America for about 19 months, and I’ve decided to write it up purely because of Steve and Chris (you know who you are!). I met Steve and Chris at the Horizons Unlimited meet in Wales, UK in June. They’re good people.
Anyway, here’s how it happened.
I was in Peru in spring of 2013, backpacking and volunteering, when I suddenly decided to get a motorcycle. I’m not entirely sure why; I had never ridden before, but somehow, I thought learning to ride wouldn’t be very difficult, and it seemed like an awesome way to travel. A Sudden Motorcycle Syndrome. Yeah, why not.
话说两年前，鬼使神差地花了19个月时间穿越了南美洲，我之所以决定把这东西写出来完全是因为史蒂夫和克里斯的缘故。至于我说的这俩是谁，自个儿心里清楚。我是在六月份去英国威尔士参加Horizons Unlimited举办的摩友聚会时认识他俩的，人非常不错。
好勒，言归正传吧。
我是在2013年春天的时候突然决定要买辆摩托车的，当时我在秘鲁，既是个背包客，也是个自愿者。我也不知道为什么突然就心血来潮，之前也从来没骑过摩托车，不过觉得学起来应该不难，而且还觉得骑着摩托车旅行应该是件很拉风的事情。就这样莫名其妙地中毒了，既然中毒了那就吃药呗。
At the time, I was staying in Nazca where I met a fellow traveler, Ryan from California. He was riding Peru on his 250cc bike, and he agreed to teach me how to ride. We went to a washing machine shop (the proper bike shop was closed that day) where they had a few bikes for sale; Ryan advised me to get a 250cc one, but because CC’s were a complete mystery to me back then, I got the blue one instead. The blue one was 150cc. Ryan said it would be ok – and it was, in fact, it was absolutely brilliant! Here’s how that wondrous machine looked like:
我当时住在纳斯卡，在那里认识了一个同道中人，叫瑞恩，来自加利福尼亚，正骑着一辆250摩旅秘鲁，他答应教我骑车。由于那天正规的摩托车店没开门，我们只好去了一家卖洗衣机的店，他们有几台车要卖。瑞恩建议我买250的，由于本人还是个菜鸟，根本搞不清楚排量为何物，就没听他的，要了蓝色那辆。蓝色那辆是150的。瑞恩让我放心大胆地用，说这玩意儿绝对堪当大任。我把这个神器给大家展示一下吧：
So the next day, Ryan taught me how to ride. I managed to start, more or less stop, do a wobbly figure of eight, and we’d decided that was good enough. I strapped my backpack on the bike’s tail and left the next day.
第二天，瑞恩开始教我骑车。我费了老大劲儿才起步，走走停停，摇摇晃晃，在地上画了一个蝴蝶结之后我们一致认为可以出师了。到了次日，我把行李帮到摩托车后面就出发了。
I only planned to ride around Peru for a few months, but ended up doing this:
我本来只打算花几个月时间围着秘鲁骑一圈的，没想到最后变成这个样子：
Which, I guess, is pretty standard for most riders doing South America; still, doing it on a small Chinese bike with zero previous experience, being a bit geographically and chronologically challenged, and running out of money in Argentina is somewhat amusing, so I’ll just write the stories up. Because if I could do it, then surely anybody can, right?:)
这东西，我敢说，绝对是大部分到南美洲的骑士们心中最完美的线路；另外，完成这东西靠的是一辆中国产的小摩托，而且此前没有任何摩旅经验，胸中一无山川沟壑，二无深谋远略，在阿根廷还搞得身无分文，实在是见笑得很，所以我要好好地写一写。各位，我都能做得到，想必没人会说做不到吧？
