Canada to Ushuaia
I'm Sophie (37) from the Netherlands and my motorcycle will leave for Vancouver one of these days. I will travel the first month with a friend of mine in Canada (without a motorcycle) After that I will go to America and then drive all the way down. Who has the same plans? I will cross the border to the USA around August 26th

Sounds like I could be following your tracks. Was thinking of leaving Vancouver Island in Sept and heading south. Possibly stopping somewhere for a few weeks of spanish school but no real schedule or plan beyond hitting the road.
Enjoy your month of touring Canada

Travelling to Ushuaia
Hello Sophie
I’m going to Ushuaia, currently in Southern Canada travelling to Denver.
I will be looking to leave Denver at the end of September and begin my journey to Ushuaia.
I will be looking to reach Ushuaia around the end of November/beginning of December.

2 months to get from Denver to Ushuaia, that’s fast going.

Indeed - it would take us 3-1/2 months at our average, simply to get from A to B. It took us 5 months just from Bogotá to Ushuaia, since we spent time exploring so we actually covered 25,000 km on the way.
18,000 km in 2 months would be 300 km/day. Is this possible? Yes - I guess so, however it will be a race rather than a trip, in my view.
Each to one's own, I guess, however I hope OP realises the challenge.

"After that I will go to America"
Just a thought, it really annoys people when you miss use the name America, America is a continent, North, Central and South. It is not a country, the USA is not America.

I was going to ignore this in the original post, however it's useful to be aware that for many residents of the continent the use of "America" to denote one country is indeed irritating. Most will know what's meant, however it's a good idea to be careful.
A (poor) analogy is to refer to the Netherlands as "Holland", particularly if talking to someone from Limburg or Friesland.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
