    Good Morning!
    I met Bill, ADVRIDER.COM "Eakins", three days ago who owns Sayulita (Puerto Vallarta) Mexico - guided day trips & vacation services
    http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=732617
    Just to get a beer a talk about my trip he lives here in Sayulita, just moved down. He gave me alot of advice and answered all my questions. Very nice guy, two days later I started having bike trouble and shot him an Email. He came right away and met me in the square, we messed with it there for awhile and then I followed him to his house with a nice clean garage. We left the bike due to the heat and went to the beach, met back up at around 5 and started tearing her down. We pulled the carb and it actually looked great almost brand new. We cleaned her out really well checked everything all the pilots the skirt everything. we notice taking off the Choke cable that connects to the carb was cracked. So we did our best to fix, super glue, electrical tape, and zipties and shes back to new. We pulled the Spark plug and it didn't look that bad, but still changed it anyways I had brought 3 extras with me. We went through the bike making sure nothing stood out as odd. Put the bike back together crossed our fingers, started right up once gas got back in the carb and sounded awesome, took the choke off and she just puuurrred. I just started to laugh, guessing that there was just some junk stuck in the carb which came out with the old gas. So we walked into town for victory tacos and beers, my treat of course!!.. haha
    If it wasn't for Bill I would of had a huge headache but he just laughed and helped me out a really awesome dude.
    If your ever riding through or visiting Sayulita or PV hit him up too go riding or just grab a beer.

    Thanks for all the advice

    I recently had the pleasure of meeting Bill and his lovely family here in Sayulita. Initially I was just planning on passing through for a few days and taking a couple of language classes. That would have been almost 3 weeks ago. Sayulita is a great little laid back town with lots of good restaurants (not helping the waistline any) and lots of activities available.

    One ride that he guided me on http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=742819 was without doubt the most off-roading I've ever done. We have another ride planned to a surprise destination in a couple of days. I can't wait.

    Don't believe all the hype about safety in Mexico. Use common sense and don't intentionally put yourself in harms way and you'll be fine. Common sense isn't one of my strong points and still I haven't met anything but the nicest people and the mountain riding is the stuff dreams are made of.

    Give Bill a call if you're going to be coming down this way. He's really a stand up guy and you won't be disappointed if you take a day trip with him. You might even convince him to pull an overnighter if there's someplace in particular you'd like to see. Sorry Bill, that was unauthorized allocation of your time. Ask him anyway.

    He's also shuttled my girlfriend and I back and forth to the water taxi departure point in Puerto Vallarta to get over to Yelapa for a week. MUCH easier than the road we found in, but not nearly as much fun :wink:

    Thanks Bill!

    greg (SprintST) and i did another adv north of sayulita to chacala.
    we worked on riding as much dirt as possible to get there and at the end (just above chacala) rode through a farmers field and entered (in the backway) into a fancy resort, riding OUT past the guards. they looked at us like, how the hell did those guys get in here? :lol3

    Hopefully grow some testicles, schizz. Until then I'll just look at all the purty pitchers and cry quietly to myself while sitting on the couch eating chips and watching Oprah re-runs.

    This man-gina thing I got going sure is getting old.
