Hi Hopper... thanks for chipping in. Cool...I'm going to check out that link. I have options on which bike to use for this trip....I can ship/fly my Ktm 640 adventure over, she's a great bike ,which I've owned from new. I have put about 40,000 miles on her both on and off road, she's much more capable than I am, and will tackle anything if you are capable. As my capabilities are nowhere near the expert level and the terrain is a bit of an unknown, I was considering buying a bike in Canada. I'm thinking keep it as light and easy as possible, so crf250l/450l or drz 400....or Dr650. The added benefit of buying in Canada is that I can do the fly, ride, store/fly, ride, store thing over a number of years. I'd also like to do some hiking, cycling and canoeing so with the flexibility of being able to sell or exchange the bike it makes some sense. Ok, gonna check out your link. Would be interested in hearing of your travels...I've never really used forums before so not sure on etiquette...if you're interested in talking should we pm to keep things tidy..? No offence if not....Cheers.
