Female Rider Challenges
 

Hi there.
My man and I are new to this website and just planning a trip from South America to San Francisco or vice versa for next year.....

We are interested in any ladies that have ridden this, either on a 650 or ???What challenges you have found on the road, either travelling with another person or alone or two up.

Kind regards

Jules, take a look at this Lois on the Loose it's an entertaining read

try michelle s
 

she has an ad for a bike in the for sale section that has a link to a lot of her stories ,she is very friendly and is in melbourne at the moment

Barb and I rode to Panama on two bikes- me on an 1100GS, Barb on a KLR. I continued to Ushuaia, and Barb rode solo from Panama back to the US. Send me a PM with your email and I'll forward it to Barb.

Hi Julie,

I've just spent a year in south america, riding on a F650GS, with husband on a Dakar.
There is a lot of hopefully useful info in my website (link on my signature), on preparation, tips, blog etc...

Feel free to email me (maria "at" franglais-riders 2dot"com) if you have any questions.
There are millions of things I could tell you here but it would take me forever!
cheer,
