Alaska to Argentina 2017 - Pan Americas
Hi,
I'm starting my Pan American ride from Anchorage in June 2017. Currently based in the UK and will be shipping my bike from here to Alaska.
It'd be great to hook up with motorbike travellers doing the same trip in and around the same time.
Drop me an email if you want to hook up or have any questions - julybehl@hotmail.com

Cheers!

The price depends on the size of your bike. I'm using Motofrieght.

Pan American 2018
Hello!!
I will be shipping my KTM690R Enduro out to Anchorage Alaska in May 2018 heading up to Prudoe before then turning tail and heading south to Ushuaia Argentina and finally up the east coast to Buenos Aires where I will fly back to UK.
I will be taking approximately 6 months.
I will be meeting my fiancée in Los Angeles in June and Costa Rica in August that way I don't return to an empty home with a letter on the table!!
Recently retired. I am 54 yrs young.
I will mostly be camping wherever possible, but will use cheap accommodation wherever I can too.
I have ridden Morocco, South Africa, Scandinavia, Russia, Cambodia and most of Europe.
This is the big one for me though!!
Would be great to be able to find other riders who will be doing a similar route just to be able to link up occasionally, I'm thinking there are areas that possibly it would be safer to be riding with a buddy than solo.
Any advice, information or contacts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Jon
