In Nicaragua, heading for South America
The journey continues. Currently in Granada, nicaragua, riding with Dirtgirl and Mojo. Heading to Costa Rica and Panama. So far the roads, traffic and border crossings have all been a hug surprise: far better and easier than expected. Just the cops in Nica are a pain: have been stopped 7 times, usually for no identifiable reason. Seems they want a bribe, but Dirtgirl is adamant: no money without a citation. so we always get to ride on when the cops give up!
Man its hot here: over 90 most days and nights. And 80% humidity.
Is anyone close by to meet up and swap stories?

This thread is good motivation.

Great to see how travellers can link up through the HUBB and link together amazing travel opportunities.

Just wanted to wish you well. I'm sitting at the South Pole, trapped in the station as a winter-over. It's -93F with -123F windchill, and dark, dark, dark.

I'm a former R100GSPD owner, and looking to do Mexico, Central America and potentially South America in 2009. I was fortunate to attend the Travellers Meeting in Colorado in 2005, and meet some great HU peeps.

Wishing you all great motoring from the South Pole!

Too cold for me!!!
Mike (bouldergeek),

How's your "summer" going? Even up here in Maine it is a boiling +70 degrees! But the cold down there (now that REALLY should be called "the land down under"!) has not dampened your spirits for another trip. Good for you!

If you are down Peru way next summer, about 15 of us XR types will be doing a challenging 5,000 km within Peru trying to stay away from pavement. We will be 35 days on the "road", starting and ending in Cuzco. You (having been a KLR guy yourself...we will ignore the BMW "stain" on your past....) are very welcome to join us...

You know I will hear grief over that little BMW "jab" . to tell the truth, I have already been salivating over the new 800cc BMW is bringing out in the fall..... But if you want to know the type of routes we will be taking next summer, check out the threads:http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ils-goat-34466
and: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ontinued-34801

Stop by in Panama
I live in Panama and will be leaving for TDF in early September. Happy to ride part of it with someone if the timing works out. Also, feel free to drop me a line at biker@Bannerconsult.com and let me know when you'll be in Panama City. Let's have a and compare notes.

If any of you gusy thinking of flying your bike from US west coast need info I can help. I am using Chile LAN Cargo to fly bike on a pallet. It has been easy arranging so far... you must have a "dangerous goods" certificate which is obtained from 3A packing near airport. They build my pallet also and deliver to LAN Cargo for me too...

Looking forward to seeing some of you out there.. currently in Baja waiting for some good wind for kiteboarding and hoping to kite some in SA..

Ciao!

Chas
Wow!, It sounds like the bike does not need to be completely enclosed in a crate? I'm planning on shipping my bike on LAN Cargo out of Miami in two weeks and have been planning on building a large expensive difficult completely enclosed crate. You may have saved me a lot of trouble.
