Copper Canyon Mexico Trip Report

[Fontanaman]

It is the middle of winter and many of us are not riding. Trip reports on the forum are down so to fill the space and provide some winter relief I am posting my ride report to Copper Canyon.

The trip is a bit dated, Sept 2007, but what the heck. I made the trip from Seattle to Copper Canyon in 18 days on my Vstrom. This was before I bought my FJR. Most of this trip could be done on the FJR then take a jeep from Creel to Botapilas. You could even take your FJR from Creel to Botapilas but the headers might take a beating.

Get some pop corn and your favorite beverage. Only two more months before spring.

Enjoy!

Nice report and pictures, makes sitting inside from the cold much better, at least for awhile.

Thanks Jim

Awesome write up, but it helps nothing I'm afraid. When the traction control goes bonkers on my Jeep just pulling out of my neighborhood, I take it as a sign I should not be on two wheels. This cold spell really brings the suck.

Ya someday I would like to go again too. This time with more time and on a motorcycle that is more off road worthy. The Vstrom is bit if a pig on gravel roads when the surface is soft and deep.

I would also like to ride the Continental Divide someday.

Thanks everybody for your comments.
