USA to Ushuaia : oct/nov 2005 until july/august 2006

[fred_paris]

hello,

i m french, 25, my name is fred.

i will ship my bike from france (africa twin, transalp style) to usa or buy a bike in usa.

do you have any info on buying a bike in usa and/or shipping from europe to usa : where can the boat stop or the plane land ? any ideas, experience, comparisons ?

then, i ll drive south to ushuaia, in +/- 6 months time.

i m eventually looking for partner(s) on the way for short or long time, or for the whole trip.

i would appreciate also any info about administrative part of the trip : visa, carnet de passages en douane, insurance, dangers and annoyances, ...

this is my first travel on a bike and alone.

i can manage the bike part, know a bit about mechanic.

i am less at ease with the administrative part.

thanx a lot in advance, cheers

nb : thanx for vincent danna and jj baudorre for his kind help and to the french and other hubb communities who kindly replied me.
