heading CA/SA...
Gday Rob, I'm from NZ (riding capital of the world  )
I have been planning a similar trip that we might be able to link up for some part. Also, how you ride is important, and I also prefer off-road. That said, if you need to make up some ground, then there will be tarmac happening to get to the good off road. Being totally honest, I see my trip being about 70/30, but I'm open to change. I'm riding this year July/August starting from California and heading up the Continental Divide to Banff and then back south via the coast and visiting friends. I wanted to continue on to Baja (got a mate at the bottom), but it's crazy hot there in August so I decided to pause. I'll return and ride Baja, then ferry to Mexico and onwards south to Ushuaia. I don't have forever though, probably only 3-4months due to family and other life passions.
Part of me was considering to return in either Nov or Feb and ride Baja, then back to LA and ship me and bike to Venezuela. I'd like to ride CA, but will factor in cost/border hassles/darian gap shipping VS ship and flight from LA to Venezuela.
The bike is a BMW g650x challenge, it's my 2nd one, and fully capable for anything with a good setup.
