Baja-Mexico-Cent. Am-South Am.
 

Hey all, Name's Noah. I'm 24 and been riding/living off my KLR-650 since i was 19. Currently working in Northern California doing a wildland fire gig until approximately beginning of october, then i plan to bomb south to Baja, intentions to mosey around mexico and central america two months or so before catching a sail from panama to Ecuador or Columbia.... Ideally would be camping as much as possible, and couchsurfing/blending/hosteling up when necessary or when the fancy so strikes.

A little about me: Wildland Firefighter, Wilderness EMT, Licensed Boat Captain, experienced Backpacker, Backcountry hiker, and am pretty handy with troubleshooting mechanical issues on motorcycles, as i have done most of the work on my own klr over the years (still getting my tube/tire changing skills down to a science, damn you snake bite!!!) I'm an amateur spanish speaker but working on it in advance of the trip, hoping to be conversational in the following months.

While it sounds as if the many commenting here have different timelines and plans, I'm interested in a RZ or trip partner for sure!

cheers!

Take your time and enjoy the trip Noah. The KLR is a great choice for the trip

I board the Stahlratte tomorrow for Columbia, life's good mate

How much is the Stahlratte? It wasn't runing last year when I did my trip. Flew the bike from Panama city to Bogota.

Cost was $1150 USD add a little damage while being loaded....

Aside from the minor damage I had a great time, highly recommended

That's a fun experience. I am glad I flew the bike. It was a little less.
