Snakeboy knows of what he speaks.
Personally, I think with only a month, and having to get from Louisville to the border (I recommend Prisidio for small-town ease), you might concentrate on the NW part of the country. Like just a couple of different descents into the Copper Canyon. It will be UNFORGETTABLE and if the R/T "transit" to Mexico costs you 6-8 days, you will still have enough time to sit on a veranda with a tequila or other intoxicant in Batopilas and get to know Mexicans and the unique Tarahumara Indians who have lived in that area since they fooled Cortez. In would not try to get down to central Mexico in the time you have.
The "longest single thread award" ever is "Is Mexico Safe" on ADVrider where the regulars know everything, past and current, about going down there.
Just don't be in a hurry!
