Do we have enough time? UK- Russia- Alaska- Argentina

[petefoulkes]

Hi guys,

A friend and I are currently planning to fly bikes from the UK to Alaska then spend 9 months riding south down to Tierra del Fuego. Since planning this trip and speaking to others, someone, somewhere along the lines has planted the seed in our heads that we may actually have enough time to cover even more ground.

The new proposed plan will look like this:
UK to Russia in 3 months. (Fly the bikes to Alaska)
Alaska to Mexico 1 month
Mexico to Argentina 5 months.

We will be riding DRZ 400's.

How does this timeline sound to you guys? This is primarily a riding trip but we certainly don't want to have to spend 8 hours every single day on the bikes. We want to have the time to stop for a couple of days here and there and enjoy the places we visit. We certainly don't want to be rushing through South America just so we can complete the ride in the time that we have.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Pete.
