south
I finished my South America ride a few months ago on a dr650. The bike was golden. If you need an info on how I equipped the bike or the journey I documented it all at www.TheAdventureBegins.tv.
I'm still writing the part about shipping my bike back to the US. From Brazil it is difficult and costly. If took many weeks for me to get a quote and it wasn't even a complete quote. They could not guarantee a date or the final cost. Your best best might be to contact Rodolfo in Foz deo Iguacu for assistance at Bikers Help Desk. From Brazil, it might cost about $2000+.
I ended up riding from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires and shipped with Dakar Motors for $1700. They were upfront about the costs and extremely efficient. I rode in on a Monday and the bike shipped on a Friday. Then I flew out the next day.
Enjoy the ride
