Anybody interested in riding into Mexico and Central America leaving around December 13 I would have to be back early January 2008. I am in the Chicago area and would trailer the bike down to the boarder and start riding from there, I have a KLR and a v-strom and haven’t decided on which to take yet. I speak a little Spanish and have been down there many times. I am up for anything and would be interested in traveling with someone or meeting up. I could also haul two more bikes down. Mike C.

Hello,

I am currently in Chicago having been on the road for 5 months. Leaving first week of Nov and heading down the East coast of Mexico to Central America and then up the West coast in the spring.

Don't know if we can hook up. How far south will you go? I will likely take it slow as I will be in Cancun the last week of Jan.

Email me if you thing something might work.

Mike-

I've been trying to set something like this up for a bit now as in trailering to the border, riding, and trailering back. This would avoid the nasty winter cold. That timeframe would work for me. So far, amoungst my friends, I've had no takers. Send me a pm and let's get together and see if we can work something out. I'm in the Milwaukee area but that isn't too far from you.

David I am going to try and hook up with John next week to the north of Chicago for a

and talk next week if you are around contact me or John on this post. However I will be out of internet range till next Sunday. It would be great if our paths could cross. Mike C.

Well I have met up with John and David here in the Chicago area and the plans are as follows. John and me will trailer our bikes down to Brownsville leaving Dec. 10th probably cross over on the 12th and meet up with David along the way staying in touch via e-mail and this board. It will be a mostly road trip for us (v-strom, triumph trophy and BMW gs adv.) heading down the east cost.

We would still be interested in more riders or meeting up with other people on the way (I have room for three bikes on the truck for the ride from Chicago). Maybe hook up for x-mas somewhere warm and sunny. If anyone is interested please contact one of us. Mike C.

Paul, I do not know anything about buying a bike in Mexico but if you can get into the US I could help you a lot, bikes are cheap here by E.U. standards. If you can hook up with us you are more then welcome to join us. I would be glad to help you out if I can. Check out this link, prices in winter are very negotiable here. Mike C.

Mike,

I wish I'd seen this earlier. My buddy and I rode through Mexico last winter, he on a KLR and me on my Wee Strom. Both handled the ride beautifully though I wish both of us were on Stroms. The vast majority of the roads are really good and the stroms top end speed is so much faster than the KLRs. With so many things to slow you down it would've been nice to be able to open it up on the roads which would allow it.

Let me know what you choose to take and how it went. Shayne

Hello I'm planning for such a trip except to stay a little longer. It would be good to meet up either way but if you are interested in selling the KLR please let me know..
