Still On?
Are there any updates to your itinerary?
Do you have a date of departure yet?
My plans may have changed and would be able to leave earlier than expected, possibly by late February.
I would love to join others as this is my first solo trip.
Let me know.

Mexico 2015
My plans are in flux. I am still planning on leaving within the next two months. I don't have a hard date. I will be leaving from the Philadelphia, PA. I need to settle a couple of things then I will be off.
I plan to cross at Eagle Pass. Where are you leaving from?

Currently in Tucson, AZ. Just about 75 miles north of the border.
May be able to leave late February, early March.
Love the idea of seeing copper canyon.
Does this fit anyone's timeline?

PS: need to be honest, fairly new to riding, that's why I was not wanting to start off solo...don't know if it is an issue.

Safe travels

GeauxBiker's almost ready
My KLR is pretty much ready. Again, from the New Orleans area and my ride dates are flexible. Ready as soon as I can get my IRS tax forms filed, hopefully by early March. Appreciate the responses above and will be checking back in on a regular basis. My thoughts are to the Copper Canyon areas; to Mazatlan and lots of the smaller towns between here and there. This will be my first trip on a bike and would obviously like to be with someone with experience. My Spanish is very limited, but I'm studying. At best, very basic. Might do some together and then split and then meet back up if destination priorities are different. From a safety standpoint, prefer to ride with another. I am a budget, but it'll bend some. Open to camping where safe, hostels, etc. If interested, please let me know. Good to see Kintuck on the site.
