I agree wholeheartedly with Simon - 35 days to Panama and back is too fast. Just do Mexico, or perhaps a dip into Guatemala, and that's it. That will give you a taste of the border crossings, you will have done a Central American country. And had a great time in Mexico - it's a big country, the roads as a rule are much slower than you're used to in the US, so it takes more time. After a bit you'll find you have slowed down to Mexican time - and then you'll really start to enjoy it.
North to Alaska is a good trip too, the first part to BC can be done in a couple of days if you want, and once in BC slow down again, and take your time and have a good look around. There's a ton to see in BC and the Yukon, without even getting to Alaska.
Two very different trips, both good.
Toss a coin, and get on the bike and go.
