My wife and I on a KLR 650
My wife and I want to make a trip thru Mexico, into Central America and on to Cost Rica with her flying home from there and either selling the bike or riding home on my own. As I get closer to leaving the states, (Jan 15th) I'm having misgivings about taking a slight, vulnerable woman on the road. A lot could happen or nothing at all. Even my moto mechanic had a few warnings for me. I may scrap the trip and head over to Hawaii instead, doing something everyone else does. But, that's just not me. I really want to make this trip to CA but don't know if I want to put my wife in some kind of awkward situation. I can defend myself but....well, you get the pic. What's the safety factor of such a trip and should I listen to the naysayers of the community and not do this? Has anyone been into C. America and want to pipe in on this matter, givning my brain cells some rest? It's a huge world out there and I have a huge bucket list that needs tending to...Any advise...any situations that you out there want to share? We may go regardless.....Anyone???? DWright
