Heading to South America late Oct 2014

Looking for one are more experienced riders
leaving from beaumont tx
may make test run to belize summer 2014

key words panama, columbia, equador. chili, argentina

I may be wrong, but that may still be rainy season in central america. If that matters.

if i all the starts align, I might leave around August. We'll see.

i would like to be at the southern tip mid december
when it's the warmest

Please let me know when you are heading out. I'm an experienced rider. I have a DRZ and I like the dirt as much as the pavement.

it looks like a new ferry sailing between panama and columbia will start in late october
i' still planning to leave late oct / early nov

I'm still in the negotiations phase at work to get a chunk of time off (I call it sabbatical, they call it quiting).
When you head out be sure and keep us in mind. I'm especially intersted in the ferry. It would cut the time/cost in half
Since Radioman, dmob and Seanpnw got back I need a good ride report to follow.

I plan to enter MX at Laredo about 10/17 or 18 heading down Hwy 57 to San Miguel. This is my first time in MX so I want to limit my days to around 200-250 miles so I can enjoy sightseeing a bit along the way. If you want a riding partner for that first 600 miles and the timing works for you, let me know. I'll be staying in motels/hotels and it would be good to have someone to split room costs with as well as to have someone along in general.

ok keep in touch

I will head out mid Oct. Destination San Jose, Costa Rica. I have to be at Costa Rica by 15th of Nov.

My plan is to get there as soon as possible, and take leisurely time coming home. Although I never really took it easy coming home. Every trip I took, return trip has only one purpose, to get home.

So this is new try. What do you think?

what's your itenerary starting around 10 21
maybe we can meet up

I'll be around Hermosillo, or Los Mochis.
Keep in touch.

hey guys,
I will start my trip from NYC to Chili in mi-october. I will try hostel, couchsurfing, camping. See picture my rough plannnig.
If anyone around let me know

how do you plan to cross the darien gap ?

I will be leaving my place October 14th to TDF,Maybe I'll see ya on the way.
There is the Stahlratte sailboat that will take bikes from Panama to Columbia.

i,m hoping the ferry xpress will be operational
between panama and columbia
save cost and time

The ferry is fantasy; make other arrangements.

where did you find this disappointing news

there is no ferry .... Stahlratte or air cargo ... better reserve soon !
