South America autumn 2006
Hi,
I'm an 44 year "old" male and experienced rider who have done some trips in Europe, India, Africa and China.
Now planning South America on my own or with company.
Plan is to send my bike to Buenos Aires Argentina in september, then going north to Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, south to Ecuador, Peru (maybe meet my girl friend for 2 weeks), Bolivia, Chile down south and back north up to Buenos Aires middle of december.
Interested and up for it or part of it?
Skonte

Hi
I'm sorry for not answering but I haven't logged in on HUBB for quite some time.

Please send emails to ronnie_skarner@hotmail.com if you are still out there and interested.

Nothing have changed, I'm still planning on doing the trip from september to december next year.

Sorry to hear that Simon cant do the trip.
I have a time limit and want to end my trip in south of Latin America in december, when my leave ends to go by air back to Sweden. Buenos Aires is the best start and ending point for me.
Starting in Venezuela up north in september seems also a bit hot.
All the best!

I will be heading your way in December from North to South and might be around Buenos Aires when you are. See how it goes. I will be in Creel, Mexico for October HU get-together and then head down, down, down
I wouldn't mind some company thru part of my trip if anyone out there interested. I'm 57, laid back, poco espanol, not a very good mechanic...on a 93 R100GS

Larry,
I am in Toronto. Trying to plan a trip south. SA in Autumn '06 may work for us.

Will you be travelling through Ontario on your way to MX for the HU meeting in October?

yes, I will be leaving from Ottawa probably as that is where my bike is currently stored (no roads where I live).Probably leaving early October to make Creel, maybe stop for a bit in Nicaragua or Guatemala for some Spanish lessons, then to Columbia (thinking Panama to Cartagena), through Bolivia and Peru and to Chile or Argentina by Christmas, for which I may fly home to see family, then back to see some of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and around Brazil maybe up to Salvador or Recife and be in RIo for Carnivale end of Feb....that is my very rough plan.

How''s that mesh with your plans and objectives?

Larry

Ottawa is do-able, as you will be heading south from there anyway. I'll keep an eye on this board and post as time-frame/plans begin to gel.

Cheers
