Prawns And Courtesy
I'm 75 and met with no problems or difficulties riding south from Veracruz (where I bought my Honda 125 for the ride to Tierra del Fuego) or on the way back north where I crossed to the US at Brownsville. Treat people with courtesy and you will be treated with courtesy. Consider them inferior and you are into a bad trip. Breaking the law (as in speeding) is dumb. Do not expect trucks to have perfect breaks or steering, nor expect all drivers to act in a manner you would consider rational. Do expect animals in the road and rocks left out by drivers who used them as brakes when parked. Don't ride at night - not because of bandits, but because you may hit an unlit car, truck, car, bike or donkey. Heading south, you will pass by the Sierra Gorda, fabulous riding country, charming people. When in Veracruz, eat at any of the restaurants above the fish market - everything fresh and great prawns!
You might find something of help at my BLOG.
Have fun, and ride safely...
