I am also older and wish to spend 3 months going round Brazil. I wish to be there Oct to approx beginning of January.

South America
 

I fly to Costa Rica August 24 to start residency process. I will buy a bike in South America in September. I'd prefer a V-Strom or a KLR, but will probably buy a DR that a Kiwi left in Foz do Iguassu.
I'ill go there in early September and ride around southwestern Brazil, then Uruguay. I'd like to enter Brazil before September 18 as they are waiving their $160 visa fee because of the Olympics. Yes, I'm cheap.
Otherwise I'll buy a KLR in Cali or Santiago. They're better equipped, but won't get to Brazil in time very easily.
I've ridden around South America four times, three of them from/to the US. I had a wreck in Ecuador last year and spent most of the past year in hospitals having four operations and left my DL there. But I'm ready to go again. I've ridden for the last eight years in 60+ countries including Europe, Africa, and Latin America, except to this past year.
I'm old enough and have broken beaucoup bones (about 100) that I stay in hostels or mooch off friends and don't camp. If anyone is interested in joining me for Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina (bad for Suzuki parts), Chile, or Peru in October to December time frame, give me a shout.

I'm a newbie on the HUBB but have been an HU member for years. I'm heading from my winter place in Mesa,AZ on Nov.12-ish for Ushuaia. I'm riding my Triumph Explorer, just finished AK, YT, NWT and BC (where my home is). I've done all of Mexico several times and speak Spanish fairly well. Those interested in riding some or lots together let me know. I'm at the HU CanWest rally Aug.25-28. Had all my shots and am devouring Chris Scott's 'Adventure Motorcycling Handbook' in preparation. Guess I better learn how to use the HUBB too!!!

Hey elcanaco, hello all. I'll be heading south from NY in November, hope to meet some of you on the road, I've started a thread on advrider.com for your enjoyment ;)

Ride on friends!

I have posted an interest in making a direct ride to Panama (via Baja then Pan American and then getting to Columbia (stahlratte preferred). I have not firmed up any persons going (leaving mid Oct.), had a couple response here and personal email but since it is getting quite close, I am putting a shout out again........Any body going for sure ! (plan on doing most of S.A. 4-6 months from arriving in Columbia)......

If you are leaving mid Oct there are only three trips left with Stahlratte this year. I don't know if you can make the Oct 19th tour. That one is a 10 day cruise via Sapzurro. So maybe not what you are looking for anyway...
The two remaining trips in Nov (14th and 21st) are filling up quickly as far as I know. So check with Ludwig at info.steelrat@les-raisting.de about availability and reservation soon if one of the trips fits your schedule.

However, have a great trip!
Stefan

Continuation of ride to TDF
 

As I previously explained in earlier post I made it to Santiago, Chile. (And am looking to do it all over again but NOT to get sideswiped in Sandiago this time!)

Here is my website for that trip .........

Hey short legs, you in S.A. yet? My buddy and I are currently in Concepcion, Chile on a couple of KLR's, meandering south for the next month. If you or anyone else is about, give us a shout.

Hi all
We are two-up on a Suzuki 650 and will be crossing Tijuana into the Baha at the end of this week around 30th/31st October. We have 5 months and are booked to fly out of Buenos Aires 24th March. Our plan is to travel quickly through Mexico as we spent 5 months there 2014. Allowing ourselves 2 to 2 and a half weeks to reach Belize, then 2 to 3 weeks in Belize and Guatemala. Will probably be trying to find a way across the Darian gap beginning December. Looking to air freight bike possibly cheaper if we can coordinate more than 1 bike.
Happy to link up with anybody along the way.
P'S In our 5 months in Mexico we met only 1 fellow adventure motorcyclist. We're not as common as you might think.
