Hey RMO,

That's exactly how rtwpaul described the road conditions he encountered on the Nick Sanders expedition last year. No sport bikes in the group but there was one guy riding a H-D Sportster.

Sounds like a pretty tough ride.

I take it, in the post above, you are referring to the fogging they do for dengue.
It's safe. I use it in my garden.
It is also a helluva lot better than getting any of the strains of dengue!

Yesterday's ride with Craneguy and Doug "from cowtown" a fellow Canuck, was memorable for being able to see the underbelly of a V-Strom 1000 in my rear view mirror and watching a Suzuki Intruder handle gravel like it was kid's play.
Thanks Stephan and Doug for a really fun ride!
The way back saw the founding of the "Is Mexico Safe" swim team while navigating the flooding in Xalapa.

Doug, I will email you as soon as your business card that was in my wallet in my jacket pocket dries out and I can read it! LOL! Water got into places where it shouldn't be!

Schizz, remember that rain that you and Donnie and I hit coming back through La Tinaja? It was about 10 times worse yesterday in Xalapa! LOL! Big fun!

You can also turn it in at Naco on weekends (Thursday 4 pm to 10 pm, Friday - Sunday 10 am to 10 pm.) The ofice is just past the border gate on the left with lots of parking. Almost never a line in Naco, easy in easy out. If you had your passport stamped clear your visa as well. Douglas/Agua Prieta is easy as well, also just past the gate on the right. Immigration and the Banjercito co-located wit a copy guy right there in the office. Cananea is tough t find the first time and there is no migration office there.

Easy. See http://www.losarcossonora.com/index....ps/attheborder
Muchas Gracias!

Always remember what Mr. Rabinowitz, Archie Bunker's lawyer said. "In a court of law, you can't beat a station wagon full of nuns"

I've made it a purpose to get to know nuns, out of habit.

that's a pretty ballsy thing to say considering i doubt anyone in this near 10,600 post thread has posted a picture of S.H. that was taken in THIS CENTURY LoL!
here's what she looks like in 2012. she's 46, im 29. i'm still hopeful for my future ex-wife #2.
