quebec to central america december-march
 

im planning a trip down in mexico-guatemala and who knows..... on a 12oo gs for this winter , around december -march bahh im not really planning anything , just thinking about it.
i was supposed to ride down to the canal with my dad and he let me down, a friend wanted to come along to and he let me down too.
now im not sure what im doing for the winter but i surely would like to hook up with someone who is thinking about riding down there,

it could be for the way down only, part of the trip or the whole trip. 2-4 months. im used to travel in latin america, been in many countries, i speak spanish allright, been in mexico before (4 months not on a bike)
if your thinking about heading south, dont be shy, drop me a line

Hey Coors, Posted much the same on another Toronto to CA/SA thread but maybe others are looking here:

I'm in Toronto planning on leaving for Mexico and Central America and likely South America after that. Leaving Nov 17th most likely. Looking to see the sites+culture, ride in mountains and light dirt trails, camp quite often, mostly avoid the larger cities (other than Mexico City to see some friends) and probably Puerto Vallarta. I'm familiar with non-bike travel in Mexico (3 months) and Nicaragua and speak passable Spanish.

If you or anyone else is interested in meeting up en-route I'd be happy to hear from you. My plans are to go where ever seems right next - not to be too fixed and too have fun. I'm on a KLR650.

cheers
James.

Hi Coors
I am heading out for Mexico and south onwards from mid-December. I could get delayed to January though. I positioned my BMW R100GS in Florida in Sept. but will be leaving again from Nova Scotia. I want to go at least to Colombia and maybe to Argentina, my dream is to ship bike to South Africa to do some more riding there.
Let's keep in touch larrynunavut@hotmail.com I am in Kenya till Dec. 5
Lary

Last year I rode from Calgary to Guatemala Feb26 to April 20, I was planning to get to Panama but had to return for family reasons, so this year I will be leaving again the end of Feb. to try again for Yaviza. I rode the bike to Phoinex on Oct. 1 and stored it there. If you are down south around that time we could hook up, I know Guatemala pretty well as I have worked and travelled the country with Habitat for Humanity. You need to ride to Semuc Champey near Coban!!!

Hi Coors (and other likeminded souls in this thread)
My bike is in Florida positioned for my getaway from Nova Scotia in Dec/Jan. I get home to Nova Scotia from Kenya early Dec. then have a few things to attend to.
Larry (R100GS) Have done some riding in Africa and SE Asia but not in Mexico or beyond

SW stop
 

Coors,
I'm in the Texas Hill Country now and will be in the Southwest on and off (Texas to Arizona) during the winter as I have my pickup + RV and my BMW GSA....hoping to get some 2-3 week trips in during that time...maybe some Mexico time.
Feel free to contact me when you are this way and maybe we can ride some or at least give you a place to park and a cold one.

Veracruz - Feb
 

Hi all
My wife and I aren't riding as far this time as the rest of you hardy souls but we'll be between Phoenix and veracruz the last two weeks of feb/First week of January.
If anyone is in that area during this time drop a note to the HUBB and maybe we can hook up for a beer or dinner etc.
Cheers
Dale

Well, I'm in Nova Scotia and hoping to head for Mexico about the last week in January. Going to put the bike in the back of the pickup down to where it's warm enough to unload and ride down from there. Everything depends on how it's going with my business

Hopefully I'll see you guys on the road down there, I really want to see Copper Canyon and the Espinoza del Diablo, the rest of the time I'll just waste riding along the coasts. :D

Mexico, central america in december and january
 

Hello folks,
I am in Ottawa. I have a KLR 650. I am heading down to mexico on Dec 7nth and riding down the east coast ... tampico ... veracruze ... down to playa del carmen then down to belize, handuras ... but I am open for detrours offcourse.

My motorbike is waiting for me in houston texas as I took it down there in October. I am flying down on Dec 5th.

Anyone have concrete plan to go down south around that time. I see that several of you have tentative plans to do so. Please let me know.

Cheers.

February/march
 

Sounds like lots of bikes heading into CA this winter! Had to cancel a shot at TDF this winter but will have February and at least the first half of March to drift Mexico, Belize, Guatemala? Ride a KTM 990, will truck it south from the Toronto area in January. Done the Dempster, Trans-Labrador etc. Looking to hook up with someone with an equally undefined plan for winter.

Hey coors!

I left St. Catharines Ontario on Nov 17 on an 1150GSA and Im now in San Cristobal for a few days before heading into Guatemala. No real schedule in place other than the fact that I took 3 months off work and Im gonna keep heading south. I know Im a ways ahead of you but Ill check back from time to time and see if we might be in beer-range at some point. Ride fast but watch out for topes!!
