never, never...................

[paco]

i have been riding for over 25 years, but never experienced any ride longer than 4-5 days. i spend a few months a year in central/southern mexico and i am readying for a 3 month trip down to chiapas and oaxaca from vancouver. i try to be safety conscious, but i am a little apprehensive about doing this distance alone. i will be keeping mostly to the libre and coastal roads (hiway 15 and 200) on a touring harley (can i say the "h" word on this site? i see the occasional slam. i also ride a beamer though). my question, or rather request is to hear your three, "i will never....." rules. the ones that you make to yourself before you leave your driveway. i'm hoping that i hear something i'd never thought of being a novice distance traveller. your post could prevent me from doing the foolish. thanks P
