Hi folks,

at first, thanks a lot for the existence of the HUBB and the community. I am currently on a 1up RTW with an '94 1100GS. The beginning of my journey was Germany and i am currently now in Uzbekistan where i am going to do a bit of maintanence on the bike as well as on my own after the first 11000km.

Pamir Highway will be next, followed by Mongolia, towards Vladiwostok. My Eurasian trip will end in Japan by this October where i intend to fly my bike to Vancouver.

I am completely inexperienced with the north as well as south american continent and therefore have no idea how to proceed. The boundary conditions are as follows:
- Arrival 20th Oct.'25 (pm 10days) in Vancouver
- Not a big fan of riding the bike in the snow, nor put my tent in a snow field
- Motorbike and myself would like to be back in Europe in April for the last month of the trip
- CdP yes, and vacinations for south america are done
- would like to go from the west coast to one of the east coasts
- (optional) trip on a boat back to europe together with the bike would be very nice

As far as i see it, there would be two general options.

Numero Uno: Go down the west coast to mexico, spend the majority over winter in mexico, go back north on the US east coast to Toronto. Hope for a cheap Air Cargo deal of air canada back to europe.

I was looking for cruise ships, doing the east bound transatlantic, but couldn't find any in mid march. Tipps?

Numero Due (support necessary): Go down to Mexico (Pan Americana?), Solve the darian gap problem with a boat, do a bit of the pan americana and then go to Buenos Aires(?) where i am going to fly(?) the GS and myself to europe.

Especially at option number two, i have no idea if this is realistic or not. I am open to any proposals, based on your experiences. All sorts of recommendations are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance, ride safe!
Best regards from Buxoro.
