Howdy all.

This is my first post on this great site. Have been researching furiously and learning a lot.

I am in fact an on roader rather than an off roader and planning on heading from NZ to North America in June next year to trek across Canada from Vancouver to Montreal then through the USA with a detour down to Mexico, then to Los Angeles where I get on a plane and take a 12 hour plane trip home to NZ.

I would appreciate any thoughts on time frame for this

The plan is to bring Big Bertha (my bike - a Suzuki Boulevard C109 - as far removed from an adventure bike as you can get ) with me. We have exhausted most of the roads here in New Zealand so it is time to spread our wings. I have unfinished business from a trip I took through the states about 15 years ago.

I attach three very very rough ideas for the three parts of the journey and would love some locals input and expertise about ride journey times and I am unsure whether my bike could actually handle a trip to Mexico, but if the Forwoods can do it on a Harley...) - Currently I happily ride 500 - 600km's in the saddle a day here in little old NZ.

I was roughly working on 400km's a day, four days a week with three days of stopovers, staying if I like the place, changes in plans, etc, etc.

Across Canada Here

Across the States Here

Detour to Mexico Here


Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Nick.
