So Whats The Plan?
We've been inspired by others so maybe we can inspire some others to pack it up, throw a leg over the seat and just go.
Our plan is for the two of us to head south right after Christmas, 2008. We are planning to take three to four months, traveling through Mexico, Central America and fly over the Darien Gap in to South America. In South America, we will continue south to the southern most city in the western hemisphere, Ushuaia, Argentina on the island of Tierra del Fuego. We will then turn north and go 1900 miles up the east coast to Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Buenos Aires, we will likely take a little vacation, before flying the motorcycles and us home in time for an early spring in Michigan. All in, the trip should be about 15,000 miles.
Along the way, we plan to visit some great sights, such as, Peru’s Machu Picchu ruins, the Bolivian Salt Flats and Argentina’s Lakes District. We will also travel some legendary roads like the Carretera Austral (Southern Highway) in Chile and the famous Ruta 40 that travels through Argentina’s Patagonia region where BMW filmed their 2004 GS New Model Introduction publicity shots. -Harry
