Hola folks, just a note to let you know we survived our second MX ride and I gave it a 15/10!


It was awesome and we made it to PV with 3 days to spare. We changed our route a bit coming south so we could stay at Turkey Creek's (Tom and Lynne's) motel on the MX118 just south of Douglas AZ.


The Uly was having problems running on only 1 cyclinder. Tom helped us as best he could but no luck. So the rider was going to head back to Bisbee where Tom's mechanic is but as luck would have it we ran into 3 MX motorcyclists just south of Tom's place and we followed them into Parrel, where their mechanic fixed him up (broken wire going to fuel controller). They were great and it was one of the best memories of the trip.


That MX 23 south of Durango was the best road I've ever ridden!!! There was only a few short gravel sections to Jesus Maria and paved the rest of the way.


We did find the one hotel in Jesus Maria (thanks Sjoerd) but it took a bit more effort to find the folks that run it (see the store on the corner right side of the road before you get to the hotel).


It was a fantastic time and our bikes are stored with a friend of the fellow that runs Bike Mexico Bike Mexico - Guided Motorcycle Tours and Rentals in Puerto Vallarta - Bike-Mexico - Guided Motorcycle Tours and Rentals in Puerto Vallarta We highly recommend you stop by and visit with Jurgen and Eli, they will treat you well and Jurgen has some great connections in PV and they offer a Bed n Breakfast spot as well.


Our TVIP's expire on April 05/17 so the plan is to return the beginning of March and ride another two weeks and do as Sjoerd suggested, storing the bikes in Tapachula.


So if anyone knows of a storage spot there please do let us know. Also if you have any must ride roads between PV and Tapachula please let us know!


Thanks again.
