It smells like a mix of BMW clutch and brake pads, Michelin rubber, fresh jalapenos and onions, chile de arbol, and Castrol 20W-50. If that doesn't get you a happy ending, you'll have to go back to 7 Machos!

This goes a long way and that's why companies like MedJetAssist are successful. They can get it done.

The joke about working in s-holes and backwoods places, If get hurt here just tape my VISA card to my forehead and get me out of here.

Okay, so it repels them!

But hey! It's all good! We're working on the "KTM eau de trailette" version. I swear this one smells like Tyson's old condominium in San Andres Tuxtla. Tyson swore it was an aerosol aphrodisiac. I didn't really believe him. I mean, c'mon, think about it. He was a monkey who spoke English. Everyone knows they can't be trusted because they always get carried away embellishing things, especially when they've been drinking.

SR, I swear on a stack of left over ballots from the last election, "eau de trailette" will let you get in touch with your "natural side". How many bottles you want?

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.

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..
