I'm comfortable traveling alone, but for this trip I think company would be nice, particularly as concerns safety and breakdowns. Anyone interested in joining me for part or all of this trip let me know.

About me: I'm a 32 year old Canadian male. I've done long backpacking trips in Africa and Asia, and have traveled a bit in Central America (I don't speak Spanish, but have started learning). My only motorcycle trip experience was a tour around Southeast Asia (which was great, so I'm following it up with this trip). I like to travel slowly, cheaply, and without too much planning ahead. No real goal except to see / eat / do / meet new things / places / people.

I'm currently working in Asia, and will be back in Canada mid-July. I have a '99 DR350 waiting there, which will be fitted with all the usual bits for lightweight long distance travel. I'm definitely up for trail riding although I'm far from experienced at it. I'll have unlimited time for this trip (but plan to keep moving pretty steadily), and no worries about running out of money.

The trip: I'm headed out from Calgary late this summer (likely mid-August). A good friend on a KLR will join through the Western US and perhaps Baja; he's not really my style of traveler (a bit uptight, paranoid, spendy) but that part of the trip will be more about miles interspaced with trail riding. No particular route in mind: just keep heading South until I can't anymore. I plan to camp as much as possible (I'm a pretty experienced hiker/camper), but particularly in Central America and Northern South America I figure hostels and cheap hotels will make the most sense most of the time.

What I have in mind is basically what these girls are doing; maybe a bit faster paced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v3eOB_S8uA

If you think you might be interested leave a message. We can Skype or whatever if you want to really talk it over.
