- Reaching The Top: Our friend and longtime contributor, Tim Burke Photography found himself heading into Central America and ultimately Guatemala. There he connected with the Chapin Films crew and they cooked up the idea of getting Tim to ride, push, drag his R1200GS to the top of Volcán Acatenango. Take the opportunity to get some insight into what it’s like to live off a motorcycle for a long period of time. Presented by Sena.

This! This is life!!
It's my favorite way to live it
Mr.Tim you are "THE INSPIRATION".
Thanks so much!
Most bike people say "one day I'm going to do a solo motorcycling trip around the world" and never do it. You are living the dream. Life is too short. Congratz
Getting started is the hardest part... From there, it's easy! Thanks for your support!
That was great. I too have the motorcycle and photography bug. I'm much older than you. I am 57, sold a pretty large business a long time ago and decided to stop working rather than make more money like my peers -- and instead enjoy the fruits with zero time pressures. I've been to some epic places by plane, but have also ridden across the USA and Europe in some insane cars a few times taking a month at a time. Also crossed the States twice on a BMW R1200GSA -- each time taking a month just to cruise, not specific next stop -- and go to the next with no rules. My wife always meets me in California -- she flies and she is a gem -- no stress from her because she is so supportive of my need for travel after 35 years of a great relationship. She likes travel in doses and never stops me from my next crazy destination. I took a 17,000 km ride through South America this year on my R1200GSA along with a few other guys in a small group. 2019 I'm off to Nepal to hike Everest Base Camp with my wife and then shipping my bike from Miami and hauling off from Northern Europe for a 25,000km ride ending up in Bali. I am half the photographer you are (maybe even less) -- but love walking up to people and asking permission to shoot them -- I do that a lot. Once you get the bug of adventure travel -- your cooked. Even at my age and I have plans long past this year. Thanks for the flick -- that was fun. A lot of your soul is shared and dont lose the desire.
Cold Gecko 🤙
Yes, it's true. Let's go to enjoy the life
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your story! Safe travels in the future my friend
How an amazing lifestyle ! 👍 See you in Bali next time 🙏
@@unclej8022 I hope to make it to Bali someday!
Best explanation of what it's like to take off and the freedom of motorcycle travel I've ever heard. Enjoy!!
Thank you!
I've been following Burke since before he took off on his adventure. I remember the announcement on Facebook. How awesome to see how far he's come, and how far he's gone.
Amazing🙄Living at 1000 % is the best way to enjoy life👍 thenk you for the most powerful motivation👏👏👏👏👍
Wonderful Tim! It's like being there with you!
Thank you!
Awesome!!!
I'm so glad you liked it!
So Lovely and inspiring video.😍🔥
🤙Beautiful Guatemala¡¡❤🇬🇹
True words man, freedom is everything; riding a motorcycle is exactly that; greetings from Mexico !!!
I once cried a lot inside my helmet out of joy for the very first time !! There is no other feeling like it !! This made my day !!! Thank you upshift !! Tim you are indeed a great inspiration !!
This is so cool to hear! Thank you!
The same thing happened to me.
I keep watching this Video again and again. I am so glad I met Tim in person and told him how much he inspire me and alot other people out there. This I will do too!
Nice! We will pass the word along. Thank you for watching.
Glad to know this part of your story. I just knew your Instagram account. Thanks for sharing, it's a great video and a great motivation
Amazing journey... love it !!
Beautiful. 👏
Thank you!
This is Awesome!! Good Job on movie !! and Tim, you are the man!!
Thanks so much!
I almost cried. I'm proud of you. your insta stories are awesome. Thanks!!
And i know you were some time in the Czech Republic.
Thank you so much!
Amazing!!!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Wow, what an awesome video. Fairplay to you. I'm going to be following you on here and on the Gram now.
Thanks so much for your support!
Man... what a story! Thanks! 😉✌️
Thank you, we appreciate the comment.
Forget Euan and Charlie, let’s see more from Tim. What a great wee film. Well done.
Haha! I'd love to have a full support team, maintenance trucks, and a video crew all the time! Until then, it's just me and my camera!
your words are so powerful positive not for only ride on bike but to live a life and stay happy.......
Thank you for watching Swapnil!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
in an era of millions of travel and motorbike videos, this is a good one!
That means a lot! Thank you!
Amazing journey
It's been fun!
The best talk I have ever heard on motorcycle travel, you should have been in the movie "Why We Ride" and since you talk so well, try being a speaker on your experience at TED. You are 100% honest on everything you said here. Live Life and Live to RIDE... "Make Life a Ride"
That means a lot to me. Thank you!
Very good ..one word is enough
The way how he's delivering his speech, the happiness that radiates from him while uttering these words, simply says it all. I guess we can all agree to the fact that traveling doesn't always mean you get only sweet things, in fact sometimes it can be quite the opposite. But so is our mundane everyday life. Man, oh man, you've fueled me so much with this video. Trust me when I say this but this is the 5th time this video is on loop and every time I am double as excited as the last time. Thanks for sharing!
I love how Tim inspires with his encouragement to do even small adventures now because tomorrow isn't guaranteed! Ride on Tim!
Thanks Dave!
Well said, sir! Well said.
Thank you Chris
Had to watch video twice to fully digest the message coming out of it, yet the time wasn't wasted
That's really cool to hear! Glad you enjoyed it!
Appreciate the comment and time spent.
Great pic
Thank you!
Great photo!
Thanks so much!
I smiled as they pulled and pushed the BMW GS up the mountain. Like the Motorcycle was like saying. "I'm not going up there to be Sacrificed to the Volcano. My job is to ride him around the world. Now this guy has some dehydration and dreams of offering me to the mountain. Send a Honda up there get me back down to beer n sausages. "
Bhahaha... that's funny!
WOW, WOW, and WOW!!! Well done! Thank you for sharing!
We appreciate your support!
Great job
So inspiring
Thanks so much!
Wow, awesome Tim. Congratulations!
Thanks a ton Jim!
Tim. You are a motivation for me mate. This very video will play a great part in my quest towards a better me in 2019. Thank you. Love from India
Glad this showed up on my recommendation
Thank you for watching!
good stuff, great job Tim...(and team)
Thanks Paul. One of these days, our paths will cross I'm sure
Awesome. Thank you very much to share your emotion with us. I enjoyed every single frame.
Let me know if you come to Thailand.
Happy New Year.
This video absolutely gives me insight. Tim Burke's so dedicated to something he loves.
Thank you! I'm glad you've liked it!
@@timburkephoto830 i've followed your instagram and your posts are all amazing. Love 'em all!
Epic, Inspiration...
Great video and pictures, Tim said it perfect..."tomorrow isn't guaranteed".
Cheers, Steven. Thank you for your compliments
Your words moved me to follow my dream..
Love from India
Thanks for the comment. Hope you are able to get out there and ride the world.
I like the way you see the reality according to your experience.👍This enriches us we listent to you.
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting.
Inspired...........🤙🇨🇦........I'm going.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is absolutely fantastic Tim! Exactly describes why we are riding motorcycles far! Please keep on you are a great inspiration for thousands of people just thinking about their first move!
Thank you so much!
Excellent!! Keep living your dreams!
Thanks so much!
Great messages and mindset regarding travel, thanks Chapin Films!
They did a great job!
Thanks!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Amazing story! It's the one decision that I still haven't had the guts to make. I recently did a 2-week 2000km motor touring on a small 110cc scooter with very limited preparation, but like him, it hooked me with the adventure lifestyle. Now I'm looking for a bigger motorcycle for longer trips 😁😎
I always thought things would be expensive and I wouldn't make enough. But, this is one of those videos which makes me think otherwise and keep exploring new places!
Awesome stuff. Thanks UPSHIFT.
Thank you! We really can not take any credit for this video except we hosted it on our TH-cam channel. All the details are in the description.
My husband and I just finished watching your video. The photo you got at the top of that volcano was simply amazing. We both ride and are heading to Cuba in a month. You articulate very well on what it’s like to travel on motorcycles. I too broke my leg while riding and have just about recovered in full and ready to get back out there. We live in Washington state also. Thanks for all your words of encouragement and experience. “Get out there” my motto.
Thanks so much Destini!
Glad to hear you are on the mend Destini.
Nice movie! I'm waiting new one this year!!!
AMAZING videos!!!
everything you said about job worries, family, is exactly me.
Small steps!
This is 🔥. Tim, you’re one of a kind. Look at these comments, people see you - through your photos, this film, and everything you’re sharing with the world about your journey. Wow, just wow. Happy to call you a friend.
Thanks so much guys! Looking forward to getting down to White Salmon soon to visit!
Well done. Keep on trucking Tim!
Thank you!
Tim, beautifully filmed and edited. Your outlook on life is awesome. Keep on riding!
Excellent Tim. I am retired now and I have the time to go on moto trips, except for this virus thing. Oh well, short rides around the PNW to prep for the longer rides. Take care pal and I'll see you on the road!
What a terrific short doc. I appreciate the honesty and candor of Tim Burke. After following his journey on Instagram it's given me a whole new outlook and purpose for my own journeys and to one day do exactly what he is doing - ride around the world. Keep riding and exploring. We'll live and be inspired vicariously through your journey, for now....
I really appreciate your kind words and support Mike!
This is an amazing video, with a powerful message. Thank you Upshift and thank you Tim Burke.
We're so glad you liked it!
oh yeah and awesome photos man.. I too was a photographer and it became a job... but now, hopefully I'll make it a hobby again...!!!
People are mostly the choices they made. Every single person has one or more fantasies or dreams whatsoever but most of them are not mentaly strong enough to catch them up. Eveyone needs to get a life and in order to do so they need a motivation. Tim i'm more than sure that a lots of people will be motivated by you to follow their heart or instict for living. For those who's dreaming a long road or life trip, you
re'not only a motivation but a huge inspiration too by all means. Wishing you hapiness, health and wellness as well as the best of luck for every exam of life. May you get success in each step and every path. Andreas from Greece.
Thanks for your words and your support Andreas!
My favorite saying to my coworker motorcycle friends who work too much is "there is 7 days in a week and someday is not one of them". Great vid
That's right!
Just great Tim. Having followed your journey for a long time in instagram and upshift. It was great to hear your thoughts in video. Great photos, just great! Thanks!
Thank you for living my dream! Good luck and safe passage. Peter
Thanks for your well wishes Peter!
As a long time rider and dreamer, your film hit a home run with me. Thanks for your time and effort in providing a source if inspiration for us who feel as you do. Next time I’m on my GS, you and your film will be with me. At 70 years old, I’m far from being too old to dream and ride. I hope all your dreams come true as I do for all of us who feel as you do. .Cheers!
Kent - Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant just brilliant, thank you for breaking the boundaries
I'm glad you liked it!
Wow, this guy is so amazingly genuine .
Thank you for your kind words
You are an inspiration man.. tonns of respect to you man. hats off man....
Thanks so much!
WOWWW...what a great adventure...
The production value on this is amazing. Well done
I have been reading all the comments written by people and I am thinking what is left for praising. People (Including me) are going bonkers just by going through your Instagram photos, there are plenty of motivating stories and experiences of people we all read but it's something else to experience it on your own. Few years back a series "Long Way Around" inspired people around the world to get themselves a bike and start riding like they used to do in their younger days. But, you my friend are inspiring us all to how to experience the life and the treasures of this world of ours as we know it. Truly inspiring, great efforts and many happy and safe miles. Keep riding and stay safe. Cheers..
Well your words mean a lot to me! Thank you!
Nice Job!
Thanks, Dad!
Wow!!! It just is so amazing to be able to live your passions!! I’m from Europe, stuck in Maryland, deeply into photography and love riding my new GS1200. Just need someone to kick my butt and hit the road! Thank you for sharing, all the best for 2019!!
Safe travels!
So awesome!! Hes living my dream
I'm glad you liked it!
Wow, beautiful. For a minute I felt like I was watching myself. I've been obsessed with motorcycles my whole life and the past few years have been into touring/dual sporting. I keep saving up vacation at work, traveling on my motorcycle, and it isn't enough. I am most happy and free when I'm on the road on two wheels, and must do it full time. But I do have the fears, I'm no timburkephoto that's for sure. We'll see what 19' brings.
Keep working towards it! I'm not doing anything that you can't do!
Awesome! Relating to alot of what you shared.. I am 57 and live in northern Thailand.. Love to Ride, but alas a job ( which I'm greatful for, but has a high burn out rate ) and a family that I Love, take more time than I have....
With that being said, I am close to my "little slice of heaven" on earth.....
It does not take me alot of money and I do not have to travel far to get there.. I ride my Yamaha 155 NMax, which most people would find strange/funny.. But it gets me through the hills of "mae hong son loop" just fine :) I have done it many times and it's how I get some piece of mind.
Since I'm older there is the hotsprings in a couple locations, to stop at to ease my sore back n butt...
Although we live a modest life, I can squeeze in my rides. Will do one end of this month. My Wife says go, does not take alot of money ( yeah I would have a bigger bike if I wasn't a family man haha ) and a couple days off work....
But I ain't gonna lie, if I was not a family man, I would be riding on!
Enjoy.
We all have our different priorities! I'm glad that you have found a balance!
Motorcycles make u feel one with ur surroundings..well said..safe travels man!
Thank you, you too!
Your story is very much connected to evey motorcycle travellers, awesome video, keep going & keep inspiring

Surely this is one the best influential travel videos out there... Highly appreciable work brother..keep traveling to the far ends of the world 👌👌👌👌
Thank you for the kind words!
I recently met Tim Burke. I have to say I am so sorry i didn't know about him earlier. He is such a legend of a person. I really look up to him and see what type of person he is, what a legend. He is such a man's man, and a real role model for bikers around the world and is a true inspiration for me too. He has made me truly evaluate myself and my life and can't wait to meet him again in the future. This time though, we riding so much more.
Ride safe Tim. I will always be following
Kev! My man! Thanks so much for your kind words. I hope we meet again someday!
