Canada - Ushuaia Sep 2023
 

Hi all, my name is Mack I am 29 years old and Sep 1, 2023 I am setting off on my DR650 and heading South as far south as I can get.
Looking for a travel partner who would like to accompany me for some or all of the trip.

I want to be semi budget oriented and do a nice mix of hotels/campgrounds.
I am doing this trip over six months and like to stop to take photos.

I have been thinking about the same trip and have been looking for a riding partner. Now, I live in Alaska but have three motorcycles in Missouri and will probably ride my GSA1200 but I can meet you somewhere in the USA.

I am 70 years old and in good health. I have a GS310 here in Anchorage but really don't want to take it down the ALCAN as I have ridden from the US/Mexico border to Alaska and back 3 times. I can still do an Ironbutt if the need arises but prefer going slower. I think we did a couple 500 or 600 mile days last October on a ride from St Louis, Mo. to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia (and return).

I can camp but hotels are really cheap south of the Rio Grande. September is about the time I was thinking of. I will make it to the Canal before deciding if TDF is of interest. Drop me a line at rdnewton3.14@gmail.com or text or call 915 588 5054.

What Prov are you in?

British Columbia

what is the plan when you reach the bottom?

itsOutsider, Welcome to HU!

Be SURE to come to the HU CanWest Travellers Meeting July 13-16 - you'll learn a ton of stuff you really want to know for your trip, and meet people who've done it and can help.

Sell the bike, buy a passenger ticket and fly home from Buenos Aires
Are you looking at a similar trip?

:frown: Not so easy to sell a foreign bike in Argentina! Do a lot of research on that here, buying and selling bikes in South America is much discussed.

Yes but not selling the bike. not sure yet may go to Europe

its literally done all the time though, i see tons of people doing it, hell I even have a buddy who sold his vstrom at the end of his trip in 2018.

Yes, we know - but whether it's LEGAL or not is another matter. AND importantly, things change, borders / customs etc get tighter and better documented etc. Just be careful and try hard to sell legally somewhere. Jail sucks.
