Mexico

Looking for small number interested parties for motorcycle trip, Texas border into Mexico, details to be worked out. Early itinerary is for January or February of 2015. Looking specifically for Spanish fluency riders as I am very basic (brushing up).

Where do you plan to cross? Me and a couple more KLR are heading to Ushuaia in November. I am in Kingsville on U.S. 77. We are planning to go along the gulf coast, Cuidad Victoria, Tampico, Veracruz, Palenque, probably cross at Pregresso.

Terahumera Festival

I'm planning on going into the Copper Canyon (Barancas del Cobre) the first two weeks of March 2015. I want to see the festival they make of Easter. You would too. Read " Gods' Middle Finger" and if you change your date , contact me. Ken I like to cross at Presido. Trailer my bike close to border. I live in Iowa.

I might go down again-no plan or itinerary at this early date but I don't go until after 1/1 either way. Say more about your idea for a trip?
FWIW, it takes more than Spanish fluency to have an amicable ride partner. i have next to none, wish I did but too old to "get it"...
As the riding group size goes up the odds do worsen for all to have commonality. Two's almost a crowd for me, not quite.
Iowa guy-I've read the book-he wrote several others of interest too. Is CC your total plan?

Well no, I'm pretty flexible, what do you have in mind? I just want to be in Guadalupe Coronado the Thursday before Easter to see the Obscene Perpetrations in full Bloom. Thursday, Friday and leave Saturday morning.

Geauxbiker,

When are planning on taking off? I'm in Louisiana and may be interested if you leave in late Feb. How long are planning on being gone? I'm on a R1200GSA. Thanks!
