Heading South
I am leaving from Edmonton, Alberta in the beginning of September and heading to South America as well. I have been looking for some people to ride with for awhile. I was planning on taking the Baja Peninsula route. It appears there's a couple people heading that way. If your interested in riding together please email me at muffalo@hotmail.com. My name is Jesse. Thanks

I will be in the Seattle area by mid Sep 2015, coming from Alaska and heading to Panama (and hopefully further south in SA). I am planning to enter into Mexico by no early than mid October (IMO, no big incentive to get there much earlier because of the rainy season in Central America). I will be in a R1200 GSA, and most likely will be with someone else on a Yamaha Super Tenere up to Mexico City. More details of my trip on The Americas: Top to Bottom (note however that, in spite of the info posted on the site, I have not discarded going S in Mexico through Cabo & then the ferry). Cheers.

Hey Muffalo,
I was looking on crossing Canada before to go south or go directly from Montréal. If that can be possible, I would like to meet and start it. Maybe we can catch up with anyone else. Leaving in august from Montreal on a DR650, I go where the adventure is.

Hey Roland- that might work for me- how long do you plan on taking to travel down the west coast of USA? I'm hoping to leave San Diego for Baja around October 19th- but nothing is set in stone.

Hi Motobird,
well tough to say. I do Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Edmonton, Whitehorse, Fairbanks, Deadhorse, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seattle/Vancouver in about 6-7 weeks, I estimate that I need a break then.
Although by bike is a great geard up Triumph Tiger Explorer MY12 it needs a service by then.
So to be honnest, 19 Oct in San Diego will be tough. I dont want to rush after Seattle. I already hate myself not to have started earlier, but I need to rush now to be back from Purdahoe Bay before winter arrives.
I am Native German, (speaking English, Spanish, French and little Portuguese) and look for other bikers who might join for the one or other stage.
Highlights there are many; lets do one by one.
Roland
@mbgerzina: I am 2-3 months ahead of you if you leave early 2015 from New orleans. Lets stay tuned. Who knows where I will get stuck.
