That's Batos liver! You should see the other side where he crashed.
All in good fun Compadre!! Mine probably isn't any better looking.Me too!, +1 Quote:
That $300 toward getting the bike back home could be a real problem for someone in a hurry and who lives far from the border. You can ship a bike from just about anywhere in Mexico to the border for about $300. But that only gets you to some border town and not across the border or home north of the border. There are options like coming back for the bike, but I was surprised at how weak the coverage was for getting the bike back. SR screwed with this post 08-13-2012 at 05:16 PM |

I think maybe the image is a bloated Sancho Panza.

Wow. I don't visit for a couple days and things go completely to heck.
Hope Bato and all the other wounded are doing better. This thread is kinda proving that the Narcos probably won't hurt you in Mexico, but you're more likely to injure yourself. Let's be careful out there guys. |

Having returned from just that ride on Friday ,4 days ago , I can certify that you need to do no push ups at all, just as long as you can manage your bike. I saw all manner of bikes,including fully loaded Goldwings Harlies and Victories ,many hauling trailers, even on the Top of the World Highway.. Your experience may vary of course with weather conditions. I had splendid weather the whole 5 weeks of the trip with only 3 days requiring a short stint in the raingear, but in Alaska some riders who had been there several weeks said they had had nothing but dismal wet weather with only 3 days that it did not rain on them... until I showed up ![]() Now the seasons are soon changing and time to look southward again for warm weather riding.

Off He Goes
Our man Slowphil at Casa Tricepilot for a visit.
Harmon's BBQ, of course, and talking to Ray Harmon himself. Then, wrenching on the VStrom in the 98 degree Texas heat ![]() He's got that Lawrence of Arabia look, don't you think? He has those Mermite cans on the bike. Very functional. ![]() ![]() Making sure good prep before crossing soon at Piedras Negras and heading to Saltillo, then to Zacatecas, then to Durango (hopefully to visit with SR), to Maz, to PV, and then inland to Guadalajara and Ajijic & a visit with Kiko (hopefully). After that........? This is all the plan right now. He's got a date in Panama in October for the Stahlratte and points in South America. |
