What about Jackson, MS as a stop over? Are we OK there?

If I were you I would bring the UZI in the side bag just to be safe. LOL

Yes Mexicans head north, and millions of Americans who bother to learn the real situation head South.

Like I said, To each his own. I think all of you ass kickers should form a posse and ride mexico to show them how tuff Americans really are. Catch bullets with your teeth. Sounds like someone is bored.

As to your stance on not wanting to travel to Mexico at this time, as you yourself said:

85,000 murders in the past 6 years tells me someone is angry. I say go for it. I will hold the gate open for you.

High five each other as you pass at the border. I guess I value my future a little more than others. I love that Larry Guy. LOL

Larry has a choice, keep his mind and his heart closed as Trice said or do the work, find the truth (a lot of which is in this thread in spite of Tyson, and our other attempts at humor) and experience the rich culture, the warm giving people and the fantastic sites sounds and tastes of Mexico and beyond. Or, as Sojord suggested, just go to Disneyland. But don't leave the park, evil lurks in the darkness outside the gates.

All I can say is keep paying those taxes so we can keep doing these great things for our neighbors down south. I am going to ride the hell out of Florida.

I was born and raised in Florida and have been riding almost 40 years. I can find fun a few hours from my home. Have not been to Disney in many years. They dont like motorcycles tearing up the grass.

I love the numbers. They go up by 30% every time I hear them.

I don't pass the border; I live here. I'm also not American.

No one's encouraging you to come here, so far we've just asked you not to come here spouting your regurgitated drivel and maybe put off someone who has the sense to respect the opinion of those of us on the ground.

Nothing you've said has any basis in fact, and unlike other threads, your opinion is not only worthless, it's detrimental to others who are looking for real information to help them decide whether to visit.

There's no reason why you should try and prevent others who want to experience something different. Come or don't come. It's all the same to us.

A noob with only 2 posts and he's parroting the Florida Tourist Board propaganda of why bother traveling outside the USA when you can get mugged in Ybor City. Wonderful!

I get my info from the internet silly. Where do you get yours? More facts, 85,000 murders in past 6 years in Mexico.

Thanks for the heads up. I feel safer already. Dont do Disney. Maybe do the dragons tail instead.

If you keep your secret place to ride to yourself then it wont be so crowded when you go riding. Shhhhhhh.

The dragon' s tail? You mean the t- shirt shop along a road with some twists in it?

Larry, your number is way too low, 113 million dead in the last 2 weeks. Craneguy, MikeMike and I are the only ones left alive from the US border to all the way to Guatemala and Belize. Pretty grim, kind of lonesome. Lots of Dos Equis Amber and Sabritas though. I do hate do drink alone.

With all sincerity, I invited you to open your heart and your mind. You have decided not to. Your life is diminished, not by refusing to ride Mexico but by your closed mind and your blind dedication to false information.

Enjoy Florida, 318 miles, 11 curves.
