man, that trip sounds like a blast. i can't speak for a lot of south america, but i'd be very nervous about the trip through central america. i have a good friend that worked in several places in mexico and just got married this past june in leon. the word from him and his wife (originally from leon) is that it's quite risky to be going thru mexico these days by yourself or with just one other person if you're american unless you're sticking to main highways and are somewhat fluent in spanish. he said it's definitely worse closer to the US border, but even in central mexico it's still not the smartest thing to be doing. he said that it's unlikely you'd be killed, but you definitely have to worry about getting stopped, mugged, clothes and bike stolen.

that being said, where do i sign up? going through peru would definitely be on my list of wish trips

2puppies, here's a great little practice run and the guy makes some excellent points on the realities of the big "dirt" bikes (tiger,gs,etc.).

You may have seen this already, but it's at the extreme end of the spectrum and his report is a hoot to read. Does almost everything "wrong" and still has an amazing journey.

This answered addressed a lot of my concerns. Hell, I dumped the Tiger on a mountains side on Colorado and had to have the Wookie help me get it up.

When i first met Woofie,i was astounded by his awesomeness.
I have total faith in him being able to accomplish this trip.
I will send you an instructional video containing my patented flying double scissor kick moves.
Use it wisely my friend.
