Hi Dave

I'm Lou, 32 from the UK but living in Perth as well. I've been here over a year and a half and planning South America in May/June 2012, not quite decided if to do it on a bike yet (or have enough dollars!).
Anyway, before I came to Oz, I rode a bike from Dubai to Alaska with my then partner all through Middle East, Europe and Canada, Alaska for around 9 months. 2 years later, I'm back to dreaming of far away places again and South America is the mission still to be completed!
If you want to meet up and I'll give you some tips etc for life on the road on a bike, I'd be more than happy to!
Just let me know and I'll email you my number.

Lou:D

Hey Andi + Ellen ,

That would be awesome to ride with you guys do a bit of an ANZAC tour. Nice work on your blog just checked it out and i reckon we could definitely cross paths, how are you guys going with all your preperation for the trip?

Cheers Dave:scooter:

Heya Lou,

Wow Dubai to Alaska sounds pretty epic, yeah i would love to meet up + definitely need a few tips as this will be my first trip.

Hey mate,

Thanks for the tips, was actually thinking of buying a bike over there in BA, as shipping a bike all the way from Australia is way too expensive! Sounds like you have a bit of experience
What bike did you use for your trip?
Is it easy to buy a bike in BA?

Cheers Dave

Heya Dave

Unorganised chaos :clap:

Actually trip prep is going well so is saving and generally all coming together pretty nicely, one or two moments of WTF and HTF but we are going forward.

Cheers for the props on our site, it is our first crack at something like that so we are be propelled into the new world of blogging etc.

Snowing today here in Wanaka New Zealand so good prep for Prudhoe and Ushuaia :stormy::cool4:

Looks like SA is going to be busy next year, see ya down there

Hey andi + Ellen,

Yeah i hear you, so much to plan and organise can sometimes
get lost in the detail eh?

Got a couple of questions to throw at ya that i couldnt suss out from your blog, if thats sweet?
Are you guys learning any spanish heard that it was kinda
essential to get around south america?

Have you got everyday planned like where you are staying and
how many k's you are going to clock each day or is it just a general
plan that gets worked out along the trip?

Cheers dave

Hey Sara ANd daniel,

Yeah was looking at the trip the twomoto kiwis are doing and it isquite similar to yours. Would be awesome to meet up with both you guys, as i'm still planning and pretty flexible would be great if we could organise to all ride a bit together. Will keep and eye out for your site and hopefully we can make something happen

Whats your email aswell

Cheers Dave

South America from march 2012
 

Hi Dave

i just shipped my 2007 R1200GSA from New zealand to valparaiso in chile, i have to pick it up on march 5th, i will probably be there till mid june, then my bike will be available for sale or rental, the bike will be stored in bolivia or brazil. I'm also looking for anyone wanting to go from santiago chile down to ushuaia from early march 2012, then i will probably go up on the atlantic coast.

As a foreigner, buying a moto in Argentina will open up a can of worms ´cos basically even if you can afford to buy it is illegal to export it. Chile (Santiago) is far more traveller friendly and there is lots of info on the HUBB. Ride safe.

Muskoka On to Deadhorse Alaska
 

Hi, I am retired and heading out to Alaska the end of May 2012....a practice run for the ride to Ushuaia leaving From Ontario the 1st of September. Hope to meet up with fellow adventures along the way.
