San Francisco to Argentina - mid 2010
 

Hi everyone,

Getting back into action again, planning a trip to Argentina. I live in San Francisco and have contacts throughout Mexico and Central America. I also speak spanish. Anyone heading into this direction July/August 2010?

As it looks like the bike will be either a KLR 650 or BMW GS 800.

Hey there,

I'm just getting my teeth into the planning part of a similar trip, I'm aiming to leave Calgary,Alberta in October or early Nov 2010 on a KLR. It will be my third time through the US and MX and second time to ushuiaa. Maybe our paths will cross?

Is this maybe a guy named Mike Holton I met in Calgary 3 or 4 years ago?
Too bad your not leaving till this Oct/Nov I'm headed to Bs As Arg in a week to ride south then back north along the Andes.

Hey Mike,

I was planning on leaving a bit earlier but could be delayed.
Stay in touch and we could meet in Mexico since your path not necessarily leads thru San Fran.

Awesome
 

Hey Novissma,

We should stay in touch for sure. We seem more or less in the same time frame. I can tell you from past experience it is worth it to ride with somebody through central america. Are you going to check out the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua?

Mike

yep it's me
 

Yeah it is the same dude, refresh my memory, send me a message sometime.
Is this your first time south?

How long are you guys planning on going for? I live in Cochrane AB, soon to be Canmore AB and have contemplated this trip for a while now.

Hi guys

I'm planning on heading out to Burning Man (Aug/Sept) in Nevada, then start heading down to South America from there, might meet up with you along the way

Where are you leaving from?...I've a thought to head to burning man and leave my bike down somewhere warm so I don't get trapped by snow leaving for S.A. in Novemeber.

Hi Mike,

I was living in Mexico for many years and never made it to Copper Canyon.
Would be definitely on my route since it is not a big detour coming from the States.

Damon,

good time range. My plan is leaving in September from San Francisco.
whats your route ?

Novissima

I am planning for 2 to 3 month one way and fly back up to California.

I'm aiming to be in South America for at least 4 months, I'm looking to ship to Africa and continue back up after that. We should have a pint if you're cochrane, I live in Bowness.

Novissma- I wonder if the Sierra MAdres get snow in November? It might be cold in Creel.

Well I'm flying in to LA buying a bike heading to the HU meet in CA then catch up with friends get a RV for burning man, then head south on the bike, when does the snow get bad?


Umm head south? any suggestions? going to do some national parks free camp
are you a bit more organised than me?

You bet there is snow. At least in the higher up places.
