Mexico mid Dec. riders wanted
 

Mexico in Dec
 

Hello,

I am currently in Chicago having been on the road for 5 months. Leaving first week of Nov and heading down the East coast of Mexico to Central America and then up the West coast in the spring.

Don't know if we can hook up. How far south will you go? I will likely take it slow as I will be in Cancun the last week of Jan.

Email me if you thing something might work.

David

Let's talk!
 

Mike-

I've been trying to set something like this up for a bit now as in trailering to the border, riding, and trailering back. This would avoid the nasty winter cold. That timeframe would work for me. So far, amoungst my friends, I've had no takers. Send me a pm and let's get together and see if we can work something out. I'm in the Milwaukee area but that isn't too far from you.

John :scooter:

Next week if still in town
 

David I am going to try and hook up with John next week to the north of Chicago for a beer and talk next week if you are around contact me or John on this post. However I will be out of internet range till next Sunday. It would be great if our paths could cross. Mike C.

Let's go
 

Well I have met up with John and David here in the Chicago area and the plans are as follows. John and me will trailer our bikes down to Brownsville leaving Dec. 10th probably cross over on the 12th and meet up with David along the way staying in touch via e-mail and this board. It will be a mostly road trip for us (v-strom, triumph trophy and BMW gs adv.) heading down the east cost.

We would still be interested in more riders or meeting up with other people on the way (I have room for three bikes on the truck for the ride from Chicago). Maybe hook up for x-mas somewhere warm and sunny. If anyone is interested please contact one of us. Mike C. :funmeteryes:

Let's go
 

Paul, I do not know anything about buying a bike in Mexico but if you can get into the US I could help you a lot, bikes are cheap here by E.U. standards. If you can hook up with us you are more then welcome to join us. I would be glad to help you out if I can. Check out this link, prices in winter are very negotiable here. Mike C.

Mex is mucho fun
 

JR We will be leaving the Chicago area on Dec. 10th and drive straight through to Texas. A stop in Huston would be no problem, what would it be like riding to the boarder from Huston at that time of the year? We really have no plans on where to go in Mexico and any ideas would be welcome. I have to be in Nashville tn. on Jan. 3rd for a job but other wise all is possible. My # is 219-365-5520 feel free to call or e-mail me. M. Chill:Beach:

still looking for new riders?
 

do you still have room for one more biker to tag along?

yea lets go Mike
 

Yes we still have room. We are meeting another guy in Huston also. We plan to leave Chicago on the 10 th of Dec. and be back on Jan 3rd. Thinking of central Mexico in the mountains and are looking for routes. What are you riding? Mike C.

I live in Yuma, Arizona (where California/Arizona/Sonora, Mexico and Baja Norte, Mexico meet). If you came this far west, and wanted to travel through the San Luis or Algondones border crossings (heading to Baja), and needed a place to park the trailer, let me know.

tryed again
 

mike
i sent you another email.....yahoo seems not to like my mail...let me know if ya get this one. i tryed a couple of different thinks

Ready to go!!!!
 

Ok, our little group is starting to confirm up 100% for a trip to Mexico. First there is myself Mike Chill Dyer In. 05 DL-1000 V-Strom, John in Milwaukee Wi. Triumph Trophy and Dan Ontario Canada BMW r1200rt. We will meet up at my place just outside of Chicago on Dec. 9th pack the bikes into the truck and head south to Huston Texas. There we will meet up with JR on his Triumph Tiger and head south on the bikes into Mexico, Hoping to meet up with Dan GS1200 ADV along the way.

Currently our thinking is to do a central route through the mountains then go some place warm for x-mas and end up in Nashville Tn. on Jan. 3rd. Anybody with suggestions for a route please gives us some ideas. We would be glad to meet up with anybody interested in having some fun along the way. Mike C. :thumbup1:

If a guy, let's say me for example, was interested in getting a KLR trailered down to wherever it'll be warm as part of your journey from Chicago, who would he talk to from your group? I see from the posts that you've got an Ontario rider as part of the clan. I live in Ottawa. Yeah, it's that city halfway between Montreal and Toronto. I'd be with you all for the ride in a heartbeat but I can't get away until early January. On the upside, I don't have a specified return date and hope to make my way to Costa Rica for a surprise visit on my daughter. We know how much they like that.

I'm envious. You gotta luv it when a plan comes together like it appears to be for this trip.

I am leaving LA around 15-20 of december and will be heading south from there. Could be cool to meet up, but who is contact person (same question as last post)?

mail me at: pkongsbak(mail-thingy)hotmail(.)com

Detroiter on a 640 Adv too SA bound!
 

I'm leaving Detroit thuesday the 11th with bike in tow for Houston where I will then leave my truck there for 4 months. I am SA bound, but will still like to tag along for a bit of Mexico.
I planned on camping! No hostels or hotels... Lots to talk about... Heres my ride report on Advrider.co. DETROIT/Patagonia - ADVrider Go to last page...

I was hoping to hug the Gulf coast down to Central America. If anyone else reads this post drop me a dime at 313-909-9343 and we'll meet up.

VStrom or KLR
 

Mike,

I wish I'd seen this earlier. My buddy and I rode through Mexico last winter, he on a KLR and me on my Wee Strom. Both handled the ride beautifully though I wish both of us were on Stroms. The vast majority of the roads are really good and the stroms top end speed is so much faster than the KLRs. With so many things to slow you down it would've been nice to be able to open it up on the roads which would allow it.

Let me know what you choose to take and how it went. Shayne

Riding solo in S. Mex would love to ride for a bit
 

HI

cheers!

Coming from OZ for this trip
 

Hello I'm planning for such a trip except to stay a little longer. It would be good to meet up either way but if you are interested in selling the KLR please let me know..
