End of the World (South America) at the End of the Year?
Greetings folks,
I'm thinking that this year (my 56th) may be MY year to visit the Americas. Hoping to leave the Pacific Northwest (WA) aboard a 2005 DR-650 in the Nov-Dec time frame, heading south (probably thru Baja). Ideally I'll make it to Buenos Aires by March, but I've got great latitude with respect to timing, route, and ultimate destination.
Thought I'd check-in to see if anybody else might be suffering similar delusions (and might even be seeking full/part-time accompaniment as they wandered).
I'd also be interested in hearing from those of you who have some experience/recommendations for the care and feeding of a DR while in foreign lands. I believe I learned a lot about the bike on an Arctic Circle run I made in 2009 (to Inuvik and Deadhorse), but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned about the logistic (and linguistic) challenges of this trip.
Interest and/or Insight would be greatly appreciated.
