Mexico-Central America-South America
Hey there everyone, names Noah, and im planning a trip leaving in October from LA into mexico through central america then into south america. Im still planning and outfitting my KLR-650 for the trip. Im from miami and have a basic grasp of spanish and the customs and traditions of south america. Im very laid back and down to earth and am in no rush! I plan on doing miles but stopping anywhere fun or cool to hang out and meet people, hike, surf, explore, fish, boat, party, or just have a few cold ones It'd be great knowing other people biking through around this time either as a travel buddy or the occasional meet up pal while on the trip. I get along with anybody and everybody and love having a good time. Also if there are any veterans of this kinda trip i'd love to hear from ya for any tips or advice. reach me here or at my email- noahorth (at) hotmail .com

I'll be leaving Montreal on a my mighty KLR on the 17th of october and going all the way to Ushuaia.

It seems there will be a few KLR going south this year.

I'm sure we could all arrange our own little HU meeting somewhere along the way...

Hi all,

I'm planning on leaving the UK in October / November for Columbia. I'll be buying a bike there hopefully (probably KLR or similar) - anyone any experience of doing this?

Guillaume - I got your PM, thanks.

I'd definitely be up for meeting up with all or some of you - When do you think you'd be reaching Columbia?

Cheers,
Joe

Everyone can use a hand!
Hey Noah,

I have been riding in Peru for 20 years, even as recently as last Aug and can give you up-to-date info on roads, places to stay (did 5,000 KM just within Peru June-Aug 2010) and contacts. Glad to help.

If all goes per plan I will also be leaving this fall (Oct/Nov) for.. well, however far south I want to go. Panama for sure, but I would love to do northern S.A. (Peru has been on my mind).

Hello everyone!
I'm from Colombia and I'll be riding alone on a R1200 GSA from Houston to Panama starting July 3rd. It would be excellent to find some company! Got only 1 month vacation though.

Can help anyone with info from Colombia.

Slow poke.
Sounds like I'll be a little bit behind all of you.
I'm shooting to leave Wisconsin in early November (before the blizzards hopefully!) I'll be heading towards Ushuaia on my old CB.

Would love to run into anyone heading my way. I'll even try to keep up!
