Hello, just thought I post this now, Leaving early november, taking 6 months off on my way south if my money and bike can last. Hoping to meet some other riders along the way, on a budget, camping, taking it easy, beach life, and whatever comes my way. Bmw 1150, if anyone is interested in riding together, part way the whole way, whatever, let me know. Have traveling and riding experience, but new to mixing those two together. Good luck to all out there and peace.

I am leaving west coast of Canada (Vancouver) mid October to Panama. Would like to spend a bit of time in South US on the way. Never been there. Not even sure what to go see. Love the outdoors. I plan to camp as much as possible and travel fairly slow. I have set aside 6 months for Vancouver - Panama and back. Would be happy to meet anyone on the road.

Hi,

Riding South too
 

Hey everyone,

I'm leaving from Calgary, Alberta as near to the beginning of November as possible. I'd love to meet other bikers. I will rippin' through the states and will be heading straight for the copper canyon. Creel would be a great place to meet other bikers.

Also hostel shalom in puerto escondido. Also san cristobal de las casas. There are good hostels there too.

I'll monitor this thread for people's progress.

Happy trails!

TDF bound part II.

Mike

another rider?
 

I am also heading down the 1 from Redding, Ca but in November around the middle of the month, and also the same plan generally speaking, Ive been down the 1 as a boy with my father on a few camp trips, and that's partly why Im going down there to revisit some familiar spots as well as new ones everywhere else. I have a lot of interest in Ecuador as a final. But Ill get to that bridge, then cross it.
My spanish is rather weak, but I am going to start some classes online soon.

I have an old beater cx500 Ive gotten on the cheap and put some money on top of, its a nice comfy riding thing, and if it makes well great!If not then I can either sell, if legal? or fix it. Or abandon and take a plane or buses.. anyway trying to be flexible.. I'll have camping gear as well, and try other cheap places, hostels, ect.. apartment if I feel like staying longer somewhere.

anyway if I see's you cool, and if not hopefully I can read all about your journey as I head behind you and avoid all of the headaches you will undoubtably encounter, good luck and have a wonderful time!

Robert from Redding, ca

Coming along
 

Hey everyone, pretty sweet that I check the HUBB and I see alot of people are making some moves, thats awesome. My trip is rolling along, I just have a few things to take care of, get the last of my ducks in a row in the next month and its go time.
Im shooting to depart the first week of november, since if I stay any longer here ill freeze. As the time comes, we should definitely keep in touch.
Hope everyone is on track and the facebook idea is great, that way friends and family can also keep updated.

Peace.

Mazatlan - Guatemala
 

Hi Im Mazatlan in the pacific coast riding a BMW 800GS, leaving the 20th of November anyone?

Daniel

Are you thinking of crossing at Brownsville/Matamoros? My husband and I have been thinking of that crossing as well. We are in Arizona currently but ultimately want to end up in the Yucatan area so are thinking of blasting through Texas and heading down the east coast of Mexico. We are still a little unsure about some of our plans but would love to meet up with other riders if it works out.

cheers,
Katie

Hi guys,

I'm planning a trip sometime around the end of November to the beginning of December. I want to ride through the Copper Canyon and also ride the Devil's Backbone. I'm in California, so I can cross the border any where in California or Arizona.

If anyone will be crossing in that time frame, and would like to ride to the Copper Canyon let me know.

Whats up everyone
 

Have set my departure date for the 5th, everything is rolling fine, just finishing the last preparations. ATL bound, Big Easy, Austing TX. let me know if anyone will be around.

New Orleans
 

Just landed in new orleans if anyone wants o hang out. Riding out tomorrow late in the day. Heading to ATX. Text 773 817 3971.

In October I rode out to LA from Chicago, and then down baja, DF, Oaxaca, out to Belize, and then down to Nicaragua. Mostly staying in hostels, but a bit of roadside camping along the way as well. So if you have any questions, drop me a line. I can recommend quite a few good hostels with parking for bikes.

Hey Karl-
Would much appreciate any advise you have on hostels etc...can you post it here so folks can access it easily?
Many thanks,
James.
