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

Hey Noah
Im arriving Guatemala October and buying a bike (prob a KLR ) and heading to Ushuaia , leaving Guatemala prob mid to end Oct . So keep in touch as to where you are at the time and maybe we can catch up somewhere and have a .I started the trip last July in Alaska and only got to Guatemala , broke my leg and had to go back to NZ .

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

noah,
sounds like something id like to discuss...right now I just an xt600 tenere that runs strong and is easy to work on. I didn't want to bring a fully loaded 1150 GS and deal with all the weight and service issues. Please feel free to PM me and see if we can come up with a day ride to two around these parts..

Mike

Noah,
My plan is to go to the rally in Mexico then south to Chile. I would like to find someone to travel with at least part of the way. My timing is close to yours.
Let me know yours and others thoughts.

We look forward to seeing people on the road.

I would be interested in meeting before crossing the border. Hope to leave this month.

Am trying to leave Los Angeles in next 2-3 days. Would love to join some other(s) to cross the border at Nogales. If not or in addition, we could meet somewhere farther south, depending on route. My tentative route right now is:
Los Angeles to Nogales to Mazatlan to Durango (Devil's Spine http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...funmeterno.gif). I just hope the tires (not new) will last until Durango so I can put on the tires I'm carrying with me. I assume that you know about the Devil's Curse when riding the Devil's Spine. It makes you (or me at least) faster and faster around those twisty curves, especially with all the heavy/slow trucks.
From Durango to Zacatecas to San Luis Potosi to Guanajuato to Queretero to Teotihuacan to Cuernavaca to Oaxaca to San Cristobal de Las Casas. From here, I don't know if I want to stop at Palenque on the way to Chetumal to Belize to Tikal to Coban in Honduras, going around Tegucigalpa on to Nicaragua, stopping in Leon, but refusing to give in to the multiple demands by cops for fines for mythical infractions and finally arriving in Pura Vida land. I not only want to polish my Spanish enough to teach a course sometime at the U.
I don't mean to sound inflexible and I like to be spontaneous. I got back last year from doing just this trip, Mexico to Ushuaia, and back. I have lived and worked in Costa Rica and Bolivia, and spent time off traveling throughout much of Latin America. Consequently, I don't have many 'must see' places and except for friends/relatives in Costa Rica, and friends in Argentina, I don't HAVE to via any particular route and am totally amenable to following others.

Hey Motomon I am in Nicaragua in Playa Gigante, relaxing and taking some spanish lessons for a few weeks. Cool little town with surfing etc. I will be here for a few weeks, if you are in the area and want to put some miles down let me know. Or anyone else out there

Cheers Rob

Look to leave either this Sunday or at the latest, on Monday. Plan to cross at Nogales and spend probably a week getting through Mexico and another week to Nicaragua and Costa Rica. That puts me around you toward the end of November, probably after Thanksgiving (in Nicaragua, with gringos?).
I would very much like to ride together, especially if anyone else wants to go south via Belize, Tikal, Copan, and skip El Salvador. This is my current pipe dream/fantasy route. Am very flexible and open to alternatives.
I'm an seasoned veteran (old fart) of 65, riding a new-to-me '04 Suzuki Wee Strom (DL650). I rode to Ushuaia and back in '09/'10, a month in New Zealand last spring, and went from Los Angeles to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Michigan to North Carolina and back to LA this summer. On this trip, I hope to return to Ushuaia, visiting friends in Rio Gallegos, Argentina, then back north to some port to ship bike and me to South Africa. When asked how long I'll be gone, I often say that it will be between six months and six years.
Let's stay in tough. Feel free to email direct to motomon at pobox dot com
Chris
