I have searched here and there has been no mention of it. Has anyone here riden a motorcycle from south america to north. Are there any good links books etc...? I have been toying with the idea and want to see what a trip of this magnitude really includes.
thanks

Check Motorcycle Dailey news. Or motorcycle.com. There's guys that have done it and written about it. One dood rode a BMW R80GS from Fairbanks Alaska to the very tip of Argentina.
I guess the real bitch is a place just south of Panama called "the Darrien Gap" Basically, there's no road. They guy on the GS had to hire local forrest people to help him drag his GS through the jungle. Quite an adventure. Good luck.
