Chicago to Panama Nov-Dec 2013
Hello all, I am heading from Chicago to Panama, over a 8-10 week period, to enjoy the culture and national parks, scuba diving and relaxing beaches/surfing. I have been to Guatemala for 3 weeks, and Nicaragua 10 days, and Costa Rica 35 times over 10 years, so this trip is all about getting to where I didnt have time to go, or enjoying my favorites.
I plan to skip Honduras as I have been diving there at Roatan/Utila and it would be easier to go down Pacific coast from El Salvador to Nicaragua via the Gulf of Fronseca with bike on a cargo boat..bypassing 2 borders and the CA1.
I will probably have a Triumph Tiger 800XC, do some camping where its safe/possible and mainly bee line it thru MX. I will stop in Dallas on way to stay with a friend and leave winter gear with, and pick up on way back in late Jan...
I am not sure If I will tour all of Belize, for sure the cayes for diving, which would require putting bike in storage.
My background is well traveled, lived in Asia, been to all of SE Asia, motorcycled Burma/Thailand/Laos/Vietnam and also north Africa's Morocco. I am in the motorcycle business with Ducati, Triumph, MV Agusta and KTM.
Tim
