Toronto-Ushuaia
 

Read your recent post with interest as we made that trek from Toronto to Ushuaia via Alaska back in 2003-2004. It was the journey of a lifetime! It was by SUV though, not bike. Safe travels!

I was also planning on doing the Pan America, But not sure if I can do it this year :( I am in Turkey at the moment left Ireland 20th Jan. Ferry to France and through France to Italy ferry Greece and on to Turkey, Travelling Solo it was interesting, I will be headin back in a few weeks, be home March. How far have u gone with planning ?? I have plans in Sept to do route 66 I have it booked and payed for so cant change, :(
Might have a look at maybe leavin bike somewhere enroute and flying to Chicago or maybe ride there and meet up with my buddies, and continue on after we get back on the West Coast again,
I will give it some serious thought, What sort of a budget have u for the trip?
Im from Cork maybe we can get together for a beer or 3 when I get back :thumbup1:

Hi , Stop in calgary and say hi.I left my bike in buenas aires march1, going bacvk oct 18 ,maybe we will meet in argentina or chile.

I will be headed for Alaska from Colorado in the first week of June, taking 6 weeks for the round trip on a KLR.

A buddy and I will then leave Colorado at the end of September, and hope to be in Ushuaia before year's end.

We might cross paths or ride for a while in S America. We were planning on riding south from Bogota through Ecuador and Chile as far south as possible before turning into Argentina and heading for Ushuaia.

A travel agency in Finland, Peterpanmaailma, is doing a group-tour from Anchorage to Ushuaia, starting 1st September, ending 10th November... and they claim they have over 10 riders coming, even though the trip costs in the region of 20.000 euros (which includes a bike, KLR650 or similar). So I guess you might meet a bunch of crazy Finns on the road then.

Hi Rich,

I am leaving first week in May from Phoenix. I have been travelling around the SW US for the last few months although not always on the Bike. I will be stopping off at a few places along the way so I am sure we could meet somewhere.

Cheers Mojo

Howdy!

Hi Omhughes

I think we got a very similar date planing, if you want details you can write me at beaumontfrancois@hotmail.com

Do you plan to go east from toronto ? If you want to visit Quebec city(8h driving from toronto) you are welcome to stay a few days if you want, I own a small confortable sugar shack (20 minute from the city), I can give you few hints and opinions about the "Canada-usa " part of the trip (I've done it 2 years ago)

If your interested to visit Quebec there is lot of opportunities to assist to large outdoors shows, almost absolutely free (gouvernement give us 200 million to do the world biggest party this year), There a lot of big name; Le cirque du soleil , Celine Dion(the 2 biggest ticket seller in Las vegas for the last ten years) Linkin Park, Yes ,Sum 41, Fergie Cold Play I think....etc to be sure
check the calendar of those site.

Ushuaia by Christmas
 

Hi Folks

Happy to have found this thread. Seems like a bunch of us might be bumping into each other on the way south this fall.

We are in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The plan is for us (a couple riding 2-up on a BMW R12GSA) to leave here September 13. We will be stopping in Montreal for a day or two to visit family and do the same in Toronto. We will then turn south towards Mexico and Latin America.

Our agenda is relax. We have areas we wish to visit but our timeline is open. This allows us the flexibility to extend our visit to places we enjoy. Our only goal (ok, it's mine, not hers) is to be in Ushuaia for Christmas. It would be cool if we could all meet there.

Oisin why are you shipping your bike to Toronto? Especially if you will be going to Nova Scotia. You'd be doubling back if you intend to go to Alaska after Nova Scotia. The distances between cities in Canada can be vast. Toronto - Halifax is 1860 km.

If you are shipping your moto by boat, Halifax, NS is a major shipping port.

Also, if you ride by Fredericton, you are welcome to drop in. We are about 350km from Halifax on the route to Toronto.

Leaving for TDF from Seattle first week October, if that fits in with your schedule. Only one thing, I have to stop everyday at 3pm for 1 hr to make tea...honest it's a thing that can't be avoided.

See you on the road
 

After a year and a half delay I am finally leaving the UK 30th August for Anchorage and plan to get into Mexico by October to ride down to TDF. Flight is booked and just trying to sort out buying a bike in Anchorage.

It would be great to meet up with anyone else on the road on the way south as some company would be nice.

Ciao,
Annette

Time for coffee
 

Hello Robert; I am located in Woodstock Ont., about 120km west of TO. If you had time,maybe we could meet for a quick coffee on your way through. I am planning this trip for about 3 yrs from now. No biggy if it doesn't work for you. Ride safe.
