I don't know where you are now, but I'm in Huanchaco, Peru and will be heading North again shortly. I'm trying to get a reservation on the the Independence ship for February 28 to get from Colombia to Panama, since there's no road.
I'm an old fart who is on the third time to make this trip in 4 years. I was going to ship me and bike to South Africa from Buenos Aires, but couldn't afford it so I'm headed back to the US.

Hi there you might want to read this before deciding to go on The Independence.
I can't say I hand the best time.
Expedition Portal
I would suggest either fly the bike across or share a container.
Happy Travels, David

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
