I'm in Portland right now, servicing the bike and leaving on Thurday

Where are you crossing?
We are in Arizona right now. Thinking of crossing at Douglas/Agua Prieta because it's a less busy crossing, and then heading down the west coast. Hoping to cross sometime next week. Also doing some maintenance on the bikes now: tires, oil changes, blah blah.

If you make it towards Antigua (Guatemala), feel free to stop by Moto Cafe and hang with your fellow motorcyclists. Local advice freely shared.

Safe riding!

Chris and Dave from CATours.
Thanks for the info. It's always fun to have a local connection. We will definitely stop by if we are in the area!

Everyone else, thanks for all the feedback. We have had some slight delays and changes in plan. But are hoping to cross around Oct 25 from the Douglas/Agua Prieta (Arizona) border crossing. Anyone who might be in this area let us know we would love to have traveling partners. Our plan is to cross the border and head directly for the west coast, by way of Hermosillo.

Cheers!

Crossing San Luis below Yuma AZ
 
Hi Katie Beth
I make the crossing to Mexico today (18th Oct). Basic plan is to head for Hermosillo then on to Creel for a quick look at Copper Canyon and south from there. Hopefully I can meet up with you.
Regards Ben

Leaving from vancouver too
 
leaving vancouver close to the end of october - probably traveling quickly, especially if the weather is bad. Maybe see you down there. On a 2007 black KLR650 with 4 ammo cans and some happy trail panniers full of gear.

Our families are not excited about the news coming out of Mexico currently. We are looking for fellow travelers who may be crossing the border sometime in October or early November. You know, "safety in numbers." At least this is what we plan to tell our families. Our dates and departure location (ie. border crossing) are flexible given enough time.
My husband rides a Honda 650 XR and I ride a Kawasaki KLR 250 (Lois Pryce style!) We travel casually but can cover ground if we need to. Set up for on or off-road riding. We've been on the road since June so are in the riding groove.
Let me know if you are interested or have similar travel plans.

Cheers,
Katie
I'll be traveling to the Copper Canyon sometime in November or December. If you would like to ride together, please let me know.

Sounds good. we will keep an eye out. We are crossing either Sunday or Monday (Oct 24 or 25).
We are riding a KLR 250 and a Honda XR 650. Both red, both with Happy Trails panniers.

Easy as pie
 
Just as a follow up..
We are now in Mex. Crossed at the Douglas/AP border crossing. Quite painless. In and out with all paperwork completed in less than an hour. No lines, no hassles. Making our way down the west coast now. Currently in Guaymas. Keeping our eyes out for other riders!

We are in Alamos now. Heading to Los Mochis tomorrow. We have debated riding up to Copper Canyon but it's a little out of our way. Where are you headed after CC? Maybe we could meet up at that point.

Happy riding!

I'm here till Monday now (9pm ferry arrives or there abouts), as the place to get your passport was shut yesterday afternoon
I'm headed to Bosque village near Patzcuaro just out of Morelia after CC

i figured that CC is to good to miss so that justifies me heading north for a bit

Planning to cross the Mexican border this Friday, Saturday, Sunday or early next week
 
We are planning to cross the border in Nogales by the end of this week or early next week. Anyone interested to meet and ride together for a while through Mexico ? I ride a BMW 1200gs and my wife rides a BMW F650GS, so our pace is not crazy quick !
Let us know !
Cheers
Alain and Francoise
