pre-planning jitters
i'm a canadian currently living between mexico city and toluca. i parked my bike about a year ago as it is just too dangerous on this stretch of hiway. one of the worst in mexico if any of you are familiar. i have many years and courses under my belt, but have never done any long distance third world trips. i always feel too cautious when riding out of canada and the states. reading werner's recent post says it all. i still have the desire to head down the western coast of SA. i have driven by car as far down as nicaragua, but never by bike. before i start officially planning i must make an educated decision, if it is too much of a risk in regards to driving on a bike. there is just no respect in this area. what would i expect to find on route to southern chile. this has been a dream of mine for over 30 years and i have time and resources to potentially make it a reality. thanks for any help, suggestions and cautions. kevin
