Santiago - Mendoza and then north

I shall be arriving in Santiago on 8 April and would like to start heading north, via Mondoza fairly soon after that.

I am riding a Suzuki V-Strom 650 and would like some company for the journey. I intend to stuck primarily to sealed roads, but am prepared to give anything a go once I get my new knobbly tyres!

My routing will take me all the way up through Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia to Cartagena, where I intend to sail to Colon, Panama, before heading north to the US. I tend to arrive in the US around the beginning of July.

Interested??

Ride north

Hola from Buenos Aires....

I am interested in riding north with you but I wont be leaving Buenos Aires until later at best. But I am interested in the same sort of route and a boat ride from Cartegena sounds great. I have a good friend to see in Panama City for a couple of weeks also.
So it might be possible to hook up along the road I hope..

Please keep this thread active regarding your whereabouts..

Thanks,

Hi Chas,

I am in contact with a couple who will be leaving Santiago on the 17th, or thereabouts, so my dates have slipped a bit. Does this suit you better for catching up?

Hey, I´m riding a DL650 as well on the same route as you with roughly the same time frame.
I am in Santiago at the moment but I hope to leave for Mendoza tomorrow (or the day after). I am riding on my own but it would be great to hook up later on for a while. I´m sure our paths will cross.

Bruce.

Blueabyss.. are you referring to Larry Davis and wife on GS1200? I have been in much contact with Larry. I will be likely unable to join you guys inititally as I return from Rio de Janerio in April 16th and will likely spend another week to two weeks in Buenos Aires before departing north..

Chas: Yes, it is Larry & wife who I am in contact with.

Bruce: No problems. PM me and I'll give you my email. I have just fitted a Michelin Anakee on the rear of my DL650 to replace the part-worn Trail-Wing. It gets a good write-up in the forums and wears well.

I have just sourced myself a crate to fly my bike in to Santiago - it's actually from a Triumph Bonneville!
