we crossed Mexico north to south from the 11th of june 2011 until ... (don't remember, but it took us 72 days ;-))
We loved the country and the people! We didn't feel unsafe for a second! (also see the last HU-newsletter!)
The checkpoints: in the north they didn't stop us, but halfway down sometimes we were stopped. Mostly friendly smiles, some soldiers wanted to sit on the bike etc, all fun.
I assume you can bump into a55h0les, but we didn't encounter any.
One was grumpy, as he wanted us to stop after his colleague waves us on... when we stopped, they started to argue with each oter but let us drive on.
Sometimes we needed to show paperwork etc.
A lot of checkpoints were only for narcotrafficing, so they only stop trucks and pickups I guess...
