female riding alone in Mexico???
Any women who have ridden solo in mainland Mexico? I am en route now from Montana. Will I just encounter enough other riders to feel safe? Riding a grey '83 Honda GL650 SilverWing with black and red Ortlieb bags strapped on... silver helmet, blue/black jacket. Any advice, please. October 18, 2005

Lots of women have done it solo - for (fairly) recent info, other than what's posted above, search the site for Lois Pryce. Unfortunately her website is toast, but she's working on it!
I would not expect you to have any trouble, or at least no more than in the US.

By the way - where you headed? Tell us more!
There's lots of other travellers, single and couples, heading south and in northern - mid-Mexico at the moment.

Mexico is actually quite safe to travel on bikes. I know at least two other gals that have soloed it there. Louis Pryce being one of them.
If you need advise on routes, contacts, etc. Let me know. I`m from there though I'm currently in Sucre Bolivia.

Hi Flying Tiger!
I went through Mexico in 2003, some of it solo, some of it in company, and found it to be fine. I was pretty wary to start with but the worst you'll encounter is over attentiove gentlemen. If you're polite and friendly to them you'll be fine. My fake wedding ring helped matters though...
My website is back in action now at www.loisontheloose.com so you can read my Mexico journal entries there. Good luck and drop me a line if you've got any more queries.
Cheers,
Lois
