Hi, all.
I leave San Francisco on a GS 1200 by the 10th September. I was thinking going New York crossing Canada, but maybe going South is a good option. Does anyone fit this trip? About experience: I rode France, Italy, Ireland, England, Isle of Man, USA (from Miami to San Francisco), Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabue, Bostwana, Namibia, South Africa, Ukrain, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Acerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Cyprus, Greece... I can not say if I am a good mate to ride because I always ride alone, but I speak very good Spanish. From Nairobi to Cape Town. A fantastic trip on a BMW Motorcycle across Africa HEADING EAST...

What to take to TDF
Ind500, I have just been to the HU rally in NC and enquired about what gear to take with many who have done this.
Including one Grant Johnson. The concensus seems to be no camping gear or cooking stuff. So, I will be sending mine home to OZ once I'm finished with Nth America. Cheers Errol G |
i am also heading south on my klr, but later than most on this post, not till november or later.
why exactly is the consensus not to bring cooking or camping? I am planning on bringing exactly both... but i should also mention that i'm bringing a climbing rope and climbing gear for technical climbing. thanks. steve |

Gear to take to SA
Steve (pocketumbleweed)
It seems that accommodation is cheap and the camping gear can be bulky and create some security problems. Constantly worrying about some hoon getting off with some of your gear can be a pain, I think you would agree. I was going to take the full set, but was convinced that it is not necesary, though I am considering taking the sleeping bag and liner. Chers Errol?c? |

Leaving soon
Hey all,
Count me in on riding south also. Solo on a KLR. Plan to ride out of Chicago September 15 and catch a flight on Copa out of Panama on October 8 to Bogota. Yeah, I know it's kind of the fast track. I'm slowing down as soon as I hit Peru. Hope to be in Ushuaia mid December. Would definitely like to cross some CA borders with others, Bolivia's salt flats too. Cheers, Crawford |
