Good to see you Allen!
The TKCs I put on the 1150 in August are toast now....so I've got a couple more coming, and will put a new set on before the next Mexico trip!
At least gas is cheap, as tires can add up!
How's the new 1200GS Adventure!

We are stealing this thread-sorry!
H,
I am, in fact getting it today. 6000 mile service, and a bunch of electrical add-ons, intercom, Centech fuse box and socket ports. Had the final drive drive cleaned for mental security! Leaving it in Phx for the winter. I'll give you a call one of these days.
Allen.

I've been getting as much as 5.5k rear and 10.5k front, but that's pushing it! (miles)

I believe there are files shared in the GPS forum at Adventure Rider Motorcycle Forum.

road to Batopilas
I rode a goldwing honda down there in 2000 and it was a 1981 1100. I have a friend that rode in with a honda goldwing 1500 with his wife on the back. She did not ride back out on the bike as they were with another guy on another goldwing and he could not ride his out. They put his in a truck and they both rode out in the truck and the other guy rode his goldwing out. Just take it slow. They take all kinds of pickups and school buses on that road every day. There are spots that you just have to go slow but you should have no major problems. It is a great trip.

Bump for any current conditions of the Rio Urique crossing between Batopilas and Tubares....
Anyone have some recent info on water depth and current? We'll be there in about a week with 5 big dual sports!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
