We're leaving San Francisco late August/early September 2014 and heading all the way to Ushuaia as well.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.

We have similar itineraries. I plan to leave Mexico City around Sept. 25, traveling on my Suzuki DL 650 through Vera Cruz, Oaxaca and San Cristobal. May spend a week in Costa Rica in a language school and am thinking of taking the Stahlratte on Oct. 25. My plan is to be in Ushuaia by Christmas. hope to meet up with you at some point.
I am a skype user ("thomaspoint") if you have time for a conversation there.

Greetings, I will follow your progress with great interest as I plan to ship my V-Strom to Punta Arenas, Chile in January 2014 and ride it back to Virginia. I am particularly interested in your planning for Mexico and Central America. Also What are your plans for the section in Panama where there are no roads? How do you plan to organize transportation?

Container sharing
Looks like a lot of travellers, a lot of bookings on the stahlratte...

Anyone interested in sharing a container? With enough takers it could be cheaper. Flexible on dates. Ideally I'd be in Colombia by mid November at the latest.

In Guatemala now, loving it, feel free to ask me any info as my friends and family here have taken great pride over the past few months showing me around the best of the best.

Currently in Leon Nicaragua
I have been working my way down from Texas towards Panama for the Oct. 25th sailing of the Stahlrat. Rushed through Mexico due to security problems in the country and a scare in Veracruz.
Spent a week in Guatemala visiting Panahachel, Antigua and a side trip to the Copan ruins in Honduras. Guatemala is beautiful and people are friendly. I left Guatemala on on Sept.29th and am currently in Leon Nicaragua. I will be heading down to Granada tomorrow and after two or three days head down to San Juan del Sur. with this pace, I should be able to spend a week in Costa Rica and a week in Panama.
Hope to meet you all in Carti on the 24th.

Ruben

Hey Ruben,

Sorry to hear about your difficulties in Mexico. We had no issues except for being stopped and questioned by Narcos for 5 mins in Michoacan.

I'm planning on flying the bike from Panama to Medellin on Oct 14. I'll then spend 2-2.5 weeks in Colombia (Cartagena, Barranquila, Bogota) before continuing into Ecuador and south ultimately to Ushuaia and back up to BA/Uruguay. Let me know what your schedule/itin in Colombia is and hopefully we can meet up and ride together.

Anyone else who's schedule might be similar to mine, feel free to PM me.

Wanted to revive this thread and see what the itinerary for the guys on the Oct 25 sailing to Cartagena was? I'm hoping to ride with some people south to Ecuador and beyond. I'm in Barranquilla now and heading for Barichara, Bogota, Salento, Cali/Popayan over the next few days and would love to meet up with other riders heading south from Cartagena.

Let me know which route and when you guys are passing south.
