That looks like a great ride, Peter.

This would be a very long round trip, about 12,000 kms/8,000 miles.

Possible but risky travel these days due to road rage, violence and weather.
I estimate the average daily travel distance could be around 600 km which would take almost two weeks.
Not likely to materialize without a safety device like an AK47.

Here is a much safer option I am thinking of

I drove a minivan from OR to CR and it took just that...two full weeks. But you won't get your bike dirty, just come in the rainy season and all that gunk gets washed off.

I do like your alt route though.
