Texas to Brazil-Looking for Advice and Someone to Ride With

[drasolt77]

I'm planning to enter Mexico on my KLR650 sometime by the end of the month with the intention of getting it down to Rio, Brazil. My timeline is open and expect to take my time through central america, but I do have some concerns about the recent volatility that seems to be spreading south in Mexico. I would appreciate any updated advice for crossing points and routes south, preferably starting from the central/east texas/mexico border. I've been thinking nuevo loredo and highway 57, until reaching more tranquilo pastures in central mexico, but am very open to other suggestions. Same goes for guatamala and really anywhere else...thoughts on things to watch out for, good and bad.
Also, I would welcome another biker along for a portion, or the entirety of this journey, for safety and enjoyment purposes. I'm an experienced mid-twenties traveler and fluent spanish speaker, and very open in my travel style and not a fan of set itineraries. So if that sounds like a fit for anyone out there, let me know...sometime june 20th and onwards works for me.

Fellow travelers,

Any info. you need on Peru, drop me a note. Name a road or trail in that country and I've probably ridden it as recently as 2010. Many contacts and recommendations too after 30 years there.....
