US to Argentina - May 2007 onwards
Hi,
Will be seting off from the States, heading for Argentina from May 6th onwards. I hope to take in all of Central America and most of South America.
I will be riding an XR650L reasonably slowly
Would be glad to have any company on the way down.
Cheers
Alex

Alex,
I'm departing May 1 from San Diego...to Alaska first, then to Argentina. Where are you leaving from, I may be able to adjust.

60-70 mph, until you hit Central America (or Mexico, not taking the toll roads), where you'll be lucky to average 60 kph. It's about the curves, the hills, the buses and trucks, the towns and those topes. Oh, those topes!

Topes equalling a more severe speed bump? On My trip to Guatemala in 63 there were no toll roads and 60mph then was really risky. then, it was potholes, missing pavement, gauges in the road. How much are the toll roads? a buck a mile--what?

Hey Wayne
My mates and I will be messing around the US/MExican border for a few weeks (12th May onwards) until they have to go back to their lives and responsibilities etc etc - so I will be in Baja - or there abouts by the end of May and looking to head further South on my own - so It could work out that we could hook up somewhere along the way etc.
My email is alex.mellor@yahoo.co.uk - let me know what you get up to etc.
All the best
Al

Hey Kev,
Sounds good - keep in touch, although I warn you I am on an XR650 - and I'm shit - so will not be 'fast' etc.. so no doubt we should be able to cross paths at some point.

Fast doesnt bother me, my time is my own, just kinda taking it as it comes. So keep you eyes open for some Irish plates.. probably to be spotted in close proximity to a suitable drinking establishment!!
