Any help or advice more than welcome!
 

Hi everyone! Ok, I must be mad...passed my bike test 3 weeks ago in the UK. Am now in Medellín, Colombia, about to buy a Honda 300. I have no experience of riding a bike, apart from my test. I’ll be heading south, where I hope to end up in Brazil. Anyone out there with advice, who can meet me en route to help me navigate! I have no idea what on earth im doing!! Arghh! Thank you, in advance!

Let's stay in touch. I'm principally heading north, so our tracks may cross. As far as your possible itinerary is concerned, take a look at my 2015/16 ride report (see link below) and the maps might give some inspiration.

After a work related loop of southern Peru and western Bolivia I'm (young?), free and single again :scooter:

Currently in Arequipa and likely heading up towards Lago Titicaca and then generally following Highway 3 northwards, or maybe I'll take another quick visit into western Bolivia? Must find that map :helpsmilie: and make a plan!

Anyone riding a bike in this part of the world at the moment?

Colombia to Peru, maybe
 

Hi Chris:


Couple of us kind of WTFOT expedition wanderers are conjuring a flight into Bogota/Cali/Medellin, buying for cash a couple of new small motorbikes, going down to Peru (unsupported, no chase van, guides, GPS, smart phones), for a quick peek at Dakar Rally, and then ?.



This is my fourth ride down that route, so not making reservations.
The "plan" is to divest ourselves of the "throw away" motorcycles (as in donate, leave at airport with keys in the ignition, sell or sell for parts) at the end of January, wherever we are.


The last time I was on that route I was with a "scared bunny traveller" who was sure he would be kidnapped and used as a sex toy in the jungles of Colombia, so wanted to get out of Colombia ASAP...locking himself in his room from 7:00 PM to 8:00AM many nights (he'd read a book about the terror of traveling in Colombia). This time I'll go a little slower.

Maybe meet you again (Tanzania, USA, and Thailand in years past).


Contact me off the forum if going as far north as Ecuador or Colombia.

Gregoir,
I recall your merry tale of said el capitano jog-on-face and his fear of all things beyond the land of the corn fed orange short fingered whopper. .. doh

I'll be chasing the Dakar race in January too and then high tailing it to Colombia.

Twix then and now I'll seek out twisty roads by day and mojitos by night in Peru and Bolivia.

Indeed, let's stay in touch off this forum.

On the off chance that someone reads this message who is actually riding/ driving in Peru at the moment and following the Dakar race that's starting soon: I'll be there. Keep an eye out for my bike :D Drink a beer?

Hi Chris , I'm in Lima working with customs after suspending Tip 8 months ago. Hopefully the last long bus ride miraflores to callao, where the office is. Plan on going north after the Dakar rally, not sure how you can recognize me without my bike. Being German , I like beer and wouldn't mind riding with someone else.

Sent you a private message with my WhatsApp and email.

Dakar, toot toot! Disrespecting speed limits, riding off road, waking pumas. Disgraceful... :innocent:
