I've always taken Baja for granted since I used to live in L.A. and now Yuma; but for any kind of touring (car, 4 x 4, motorcycle) it seems like it shouldn't be missed! Once you get to southern Baja--hop on the ferry to the mainland. The bonus is not needing as much paperwork (or any for US citizens) to travel the entire peninsula!

G'day Steven
The last time I was asked to be a film character was in Mumbai, India. Sadly I couldn't take up the offer of becoming a bollywood star as I was flying out that day. On the topic of drink, both my wife and I are tea-totallers, having been inspired by a former Prime Minister Bob Hawke. Previous to this we had been inspired by former cricketer David Boon. We saw that this path however, could only lead to the damnation of our livers. So as far as drinks around the fire, we probably can't help, that's unless you have bourbon or southern comfort. These drinks of course do not count as alcohol.
In all seriousness we will be entering Mexico from the eastern side around Nov 1. We might try and meet up with Robert. With a bit of luck he's 6 foot 6 and extremely imposing (Robert?)
Let us know when and where you are entering Mexico and we'll see if we can catch up.
Dale and Marlene

Hi Guys,

Hey everyone,
I'll be crossing into Mexico much later in the first week or so of December, I just wanted to let people know I'd be looking for people as well. Also the Darien gap is something I need to cross obviously and I am curious what people are doing for that?l ( as I am headed down to South America) so any suggestions or ideas would be great!

I'm headed for the Yucatan in the next week, I am in Austin. Personally, I think the US is more dangerous than Mexico, but somebody else mentioned getting away from the border and stay out of some of the cities. The countryside is incredible, limited traffic, the people are super nice. Give me a shout if you want to cross together, I am thinking Reyenosa?

Not sure how you are progressing, I am just outside of Leon tonight, on my way to the Monarch Butterfly migration zone west of Mexico City. Give me a shout if you want to get together, I am planning to drop down to the Sea of Cortez south of Alcapulco and overwinter along the Yucatan. I am traveling alone. Thus far no issuesother than friendly helpful people, beautiful country and colder than I like weather!

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
