Mexico - Nov. 22-24

Hi

I'm starting a Toronto to B.A. trip in late October. Hope to be crossing into Mexico approx. November 22-24 (or before that in US as well, though not sure when I will be where!), if anyone is interested. I'm riding a F650GS (Single). Cheers.

Brian

KLR Mexico Noember 20

Hi

I am driving my KLR to Austin Texas to watch the Formula 1 race on Nov 18.

I would like to cross into Mexico towards either Monterrey or Saltillo in the direction of Belize. But I am flexible-I have to be home (Victoria BC) for Xmas.

Let me know if this is close to your plans.

Hey KLRed - that should work, I was thinking of crossing at Laredo. My trip start was delayed however, so might be a little later than Nov. 22-24, more like Nov. 26-28th. Keep in touch ... Brian

Mexico next

finally on my way towards Mexico
Hi folks!
After some months of "detours" : ) all over BC, Yukon and Alaska I am now in Colorado and thinking about the further way towards South America (Ushuaia)
-which direction should I aim at, considering border crossing and places to go to?

Maybe no bad idea to hook up for a while...

Do you have experience considering the following:
-the TVIP: my bike is registred in Canada, using the adress of friends, but I am German. I do have the Canadian insurance papers with my name and the mentioned Canadian adress, but no title (maybe it is at my friends`place by now- I will ask). Could that be a problem?
-this insurance expires in december. Does that play any role considering that I want to get a Mexican one anyway?
any suggestions which one to take?

I am looking forward to any helpful answers!
Thanks a lot!

Reno, California Coast and Mexican Coast to Central America

I'll be headed down the Californian coast on 27 November, then the Mexican Pacific coast to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

Once in Guat, I'll plan the rest around Central America, though this will probably be the general route.

I plan to reach South Padre Island for Spring Break in late February then head back to Reno in late April.
