I'm also looking to work/travel through as much as S.A. as I can. and ideally I'd like to stay down there as long as it takes.
Have any plans been made yet? psilocybes at gmail.com |

I'm in Houston and had planned a round-trip from here to Panama City beginning in September/October. But, now I'm thinking about shipping my bike from Panama to SA, preferably Colombia or Ecuador, and then riding as far south as I can go. Then, I will sell my bike and fly back to Houston. I am flexible about dates and travel route and willing to work these things out with a travel partner. I'm bold and old and an experienced rider and have been to Mexico many times (rode my bike to Matzatlan in 1998), and have visited the coastal regions of some Central American countries. I'm ashamed that my Spanish is about as good as that on Sesame Street, but I know how to communicate (having lived in France, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Ethiopia, South Africa, Australia, etc.). If you're still looking for a riding partner, lemme know. Regards. |

throwing my hat into the mix
I've been watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. The time has come!
It's been really interesting reading about everyones plans to meet up. Sounds like there is a West coast thing happening. Anybody near Florida? I'll be leaving for my maiden overland voyage around mid October. Miami to Ushuaia and back. I'm planning on six months, maybe more. I'm raising money for the National Parkinson Foundation. I am not fluent in Spanish but I definetly don't get laughed at, not for my linguistic skills anyway. I'm 29, laid back, no drugs. Mechanically inclined, though no pratctical knowledge. Chef by trade. I'd love to make some plans to rendezous with some people. When my website is ready, I'll post it and whoever is curious can get a better idea of who I am. Safe travels everyone. |

Planning a trip into South America for fall of 2006 or early on in 2007. Need to find a partner that wants to hit it as well. I am 57 and have ridden from Prudhoe bay to the Panama Canal already so now I want to hit the SA part. Open to pretty much anything so if you are looking for someone to ride with hit me up with what you are thinking

Chile Nov 06
Hola
My Cousin Darren and I are arriving late November in Santiago to embark on our first o'seas trip by motorcycle. We are both in our early thirties and will be on my 1200GSA for around 2 months. At this stage we are keen to visit Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia but are pretty flexible. We are easy going Aussies and would like to meet up with other travellers in SA November to Feb. Cheers Paul:scooter: |
2 Aussies on an Adventure in SA Sept 06 - Feb 07
Nottles,
My wife & I will be in Santiago mid Sept 06, going up to Peru, then Bolivia, Iguazu Falls, Buenos Aires, eventually down to Ushuaia for Christmas. Then we will come back up to Santiago & due to fly out back to Oz early Feb. Sounds like the timing is quite similar. We are Brisbane based & will be 2-up on an 04 1150 Adventure. We plan to be self-sufficient such that we can choose to either get accomodation along the way or camp overnight if the location & conditions suit. Would be interested in catching up with you for a chat about your plans in more detail (we're in Brisbane) Cheers, Mark & Aasha |
Mark and Aasha
It would be good to catch up. I can't email you privately until I post some more and am a bit reluctant to put the mobile number out there. If you have posted more than 15 times can you privately email me. Otherwise when I get 15 up I'll email you. Cya Paul |
Paul (& anyone else that might be doing a similar trip around the same time),
We have set up a website showing a few details of our approximate route, which will obviously change along the way. Anyhow, its www.markaasha.com and has our email address so you can contact us from there. Cheers, Mark & Aasha |
