Seattle to South America Sept 2014
 

I'm leaving for South American from Seattle in September of 14. I'm riding a klr650 that has been gone over just for this trip. I'm not bent on route or time, and would enjoy the company of another rider. If your easy going and heading that way, lets hook up and make the ride interesting.

I'll be going through Seattle on 5 Sept on my way to Ushuaia. Also riding a 2012 KLR650.

I tried to pm you but I don't have enough posts yet..I need five. Are you in Edmonds? I've been researching routes, looking at baja then ferry. Do you have any route in mind? My brother lives in ecuador, so I plan to stop there for a week or so. Other than that, Im not in a hurry at all. I can get by in Spanish as well. I'd love to hear your plans.

Hi all my name is jay. I will be leaving the 15 th of oct 2014 from Boston to panama. I have 4 months so I figure I will end up going a lot further than just panama. Will be riding a 2013 klr 650. Maybe we can all ride for a bit together if we can. Be safe and have a blast

Jay, if we are in proximity of each other...lets ride. I think I might be a little ahead of you though. I'll be heading out in the beginning of September. I'm thinking of staying west coast side until Guatemala. Perhaps I'll dilly dally and you'll catch up. If you have enough posts, pm me and I'll give you my email.

hi there, iam starting mid-september 14 from ushuaia. i want to ride all the way to alaska. perhaps we can ride together? pm or email me if interested.

holk.

Hey folks,

Holk: They're going the other way.

HCl: I'll be headed south from BC to Ushuaia on/about 5 July '14 with fxbonneville, we don't have a solid timeline yet, and may be spending some time in Mexico City. You may end up catching us, and I'd be happy to get you updates as to our where-abouts. Best of luck!

-MOI

Jaime it's possible if I can finish all my work I can leave closer to when you leave. If I can make that happen I should also be looking at about 5 months to ride and explore
Jay

Jay, keep in touch, if you are ready around the same time that would be great. I'm hoping to make it to panama on the schedule of the stahlratte leaving from Cartagena to Colombia. The schedule is not out for so distant of a date. Here is a link. [url=http://www.stahlratte.org/]Stahlratte

Hey Jaime believe me if I can finish all my work up early I will be able to make it around the time you leave. Will have a good idea by maybe end of July

Mexico in October
 

Hi all,
I will be traveling across the states for the summer and planning on riding down Baja in September/October. At the moment I'm rebuilding my 86 honda XL600R.
I'm not sure your timeline, but the only thing I'm planning is to be in Puebla for Halloween/Day of the dead. I've got some friends along the way in Mexico (merida, puebla, monterray) to stay with as well. Wouldn't mind riding company! I may keep heading south afterwards- all depends on money.
-Kerri

Kerri,
What state are you leaving from? I'm planning of leaving early September from Seattle. If our schedules match up, lets ride:) Loads of time till then, good luck on your rebuild.

Jaime

Hello guys,

Im planning on setting out from Alberta, Canada on my KLR 650 in September of 2014. I will be heading for Brazil and It would be great to ride with you on the way down. Sounds like Hydrochloride and Garry schedules line up with mine. Let me know if you guys wanna meet up.

Hey Jamie,
I am leaving from Baltimore in June, heading south to the blue ridge, then cross country on the trans american. I'll be heading up to seattle and down the PCH in August/Sept with a friend who may or may not continue into Mexico. No hard timeline other than date I'm setting out!
Also Muffalo- depending on how everything goes, I was hoping to hit Brazil.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner- still trying to navigate using forums.
-Kerri

leaving befor sept. let me know if u leave before

Will check in when the dates get closer, its still a ways out. Im not locked into any date, just wanting to leave around that time.

I am leaving July , let me know if anyone is coming.. going to Argentina across "ruta del sol" or "ruta del che" or gringo route. I am flying my bike to Colombia though, skipping all of central america.

Heading South
 

I am leaving from Edmonton, Alberta in the beginning of September and heading to South America as well. I have been looking for some people to ride with for awhile. I was planning on taking the Baja Peninsula route. It appears there's a couple people heading that way. If your interested in riding together please email me at muffalo@hotmail.com. My name is Jesse. Thanks

Riding home to Seattle
 

Hi guys,

I'm riding from Ushuaia to Seattle right now. In Peru at the moment, but planning on being back home by mid September (Sept 14 at the latest!). Let me know if you want to meet up for a drink and talk about the upcoming road!

Best,

Hi Elisa

I will be in the Seattle area by mid Sep 2015, coming from Alaska and heading to Panama (and hopefully further south in SA). I am planning to enter into Mexico by no early than mid October (IMO, no big incentive to get there much earlier because of the rainy season in Central America). I will be in a R1200 GSA, and most likely will be with someone else on a Yamaha Super Tenere up to Mexico City. More details of my trip on The Americas: Top to Bottom (note however that, in spite of the info posted on the site, I have not discarded going S in Mexico through Cabo & then the ferry). Cheers.

Hey Muffalo,
I was looking on crossing Canada before to go south or go directly from Montréal. If that can be possible, I would like to meet and start it. Maybe we can catch up with anyone else. Leaving in august from Montreal on a DR650, I go where the adventure is.

Alaska to Ushuaia from SEP2014
 

Hi Guys,

I am in, landing in Halifax, going north west to Deadhorse then sourth, should pass by Seattle arround first week of Oct2014.

Who matches with that round about time line ?

Hey Roland- that might work for me- how long do you plan on taking to travel down the west coast of USA? I'm hoping to leave San Diego for Baja around October 19th- but nothing is set in stone.

link up up
 

Hi Motobird,

well tough to say. I do Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Edmonton, Whitehorse, Fairbanks, Deadhorse, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seattle/Vancouver in about 6-7 weeks, I estimate that I need a break then.

Although by bike is a great geard up Triumph Tiger Explorer MY12 it needs a service by then.

So to be honnest, 19 Oct in San Diego will be tough. I dont want to rush after Seattle. I already hate myself not to have started earlier, but I need to rush now to be back from Purdahoe Bay before winter arrives.

I am Native German, (speaking English, Spanish, French and little Portuguese) and look for other bikers who might join for the one or other stage.

Highlights there are many; lets do one by one.
Roland

@mbgerzina: I am 2-3 months ahead of you if you leave early 2015 from New orleans. Lets stay tuned. Who knows where I will get stuck.

Jamie, My bike lands in LA from Auz in mid october. I have a loose plan & timeframe to Ushuaia. If you or anyone else are crossing the Mexican border round mid october, we could maybe travel together for a while. Hugh

loose plan & timeframe to Ushuaia
 

Hi Hugh,
