A post form ADVrider, do you agree with his thoughts?
I've been to Mexico several times, ridden in Mexico three times now, the last time alone for 5 weeks. I don't always take the advice I get on this thread, but I appreciate it for what it is: genuine help and well wishes. I am comfortable with the fact that the world is not always safe, and yet, with some thought and planning- and listening to advice- one can have an enjoyable ride and keep the risks at a moderate level.
I never travel with the idea that someone will be there to bail me out if I screw things up. I carry a SPOT, mostly so my friends and family have an idea about where I am, not so I can push the SOS button and get a helicopter. Yet I ride with the feeling that if I did get into trouble and needed some help, one of the people on this thread might go out of his way to help me.
So.............. thanks.
