Is Mexico Safe?

[kobukan]

Another option for $110/year.

I picked this up last winter when I got my SPOT before my first trip into Mexico. Hope I never need it.

"GEOS MEDIVAC is an Evacuation and rescue program.
As a GEOS MEDIVAC Member, Emergency Evacuation will be provided if You need to be hospitalized due to injury or illness from the place of an incident, which took place at least 99 miles away from your main home, to the nearest medical facility or if you are ever hospitalized whilst you are 99 miles or more away from your permanent residence, GEOS will provide medical evacuation to the nearest medical facility and repatriation to a hospital nearest your home capable of providing the treatment you require as determined by the physicians providing your treatment, and GEOS, in a medically-equipped and staffed aircraft."

Okay, okay I will take a bottle, I'll take delivery this Spring. Can I pay with with a box of 100 peso Wallmart gift cards, also left over from the last election. I think each one is worth a vote.

y'r right !




Hi Bato, if they could give me some medicine to make me forget a days worth of international air travel I would be addicted for sure.

Good to hear you are back to 100%. You gonna bring that 1150GS back to DGO? They just finished another stretch of the new highway last week from around the Sinaloa border to Villa Union.

I'm hoping I will via Baja I herad

[QUOTE=tricepilot;20190282]A little bit right, and a little bit wrong.

First and foremost, for MedJet to "kick in", you have to have a need to be transported hospital to hospital. Period.
Mistake #3 been emotional carried on the track by the throttle

How this plays out is you must always remember the caveat that you need to return to the U.S. to be hospitalized.

Mistake #2 Liking more Hotel Gobernador hospitality over any Hospital in Durango

Best not to crash!

Mistake #1 Best not to party a night before you gonna ride
even better not party at all while traveling on a bike

No dice!
The Wal-Mart gift cards that were issued at $100 pesos were only worth $50 pesos at the store and only worked 25% of the time based on a national average post election.
Therefore, we only take the Soriana cards because the $100 peso cards were worth $70 pesos and worked a stunning 35% of the time.

We will cut a deal for dead scorpion encased in plastic on a key chain! I've noticed a shortage of those here, lately.

You know, if you use the ADV cologne or the "Eau de Trailette" you will never need MedJet or insurance because they'll think you're dead just based on the aroma. This could fool narcos from kidnapping you while you are riding at 100 mph being shot at on the Mex #180 coast highway which, according to some, really happened! I miss that thread!

Is anyone familiar with Petersen International Underwriters? (piu@piu.org) The more I look at their policy quote the more I lean toward them.. For a trip I have planned (first of the year) a $500.000 policy with a $500 deductible is $58. I can't find many reviews and always like to do a little homework first..

As I understand it, the policy doesn't specify a US hospital, rather, the "hospital of your choice". I confirmed this with them before I left the US. In my case, my family is in Australia, and if there was a circumstance where I might be hospitalized for a longer term, I might prefer it to be in Australia. Of course there'd be other factors, like whether my condition would allow for the longer trip, but at least the option is there should I want it.

Deal! There is no shortage of those here. I'm that certain we are located in the world capital of alacran key-chains! I have a bowl full of them and hand them out to visitors like Halloween candy. I thought it would be cool to commission a special ADV version. I'll have to talk to Baldy about licensing.

This is true.

I was using the U.S. as a generic example.
