[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 653826, member: 4296"] DingusKahn: Dirk, if you've outstanding dirt skills and incredible physical stamina you can ride from Creel through Urique to Sea of Cortez and back again through Batopilas on a BMW R1200GS. But the tracks we will be riding westward from Urique to Gulf of California at El Fuerte and then again eastward from Los Alamos back are some really ball busting dirt goat tracks. If you crap out on a BMW R1200GS halfway in either direction, through necessity the group would have to stash your bike with the Indians and you'd have to ride in the support truck. Since no man is left behind, you would be OK. But you would be on your own to hire a Mexican with a four wheel drive pickup to rescue your BMW R1200GS later and get it out to Creel. I've ridden to Batopilas and Urique three times, twice on a BMW R1100GS and once on a Kawasaki KLR650 and I still would not hesitate to go to those two destinations on a BMW R1200GS. There is no way on God's Green Earth I could ride West of them on anything bigger than a Suzuki DR650! But, I do not want to be a wet blanket on your dreams of riding this route on a BMW R1200GS; you saw that my Canadian friends Brian, Conchita and Dan made it on a GS and the big KTM 950. Here's my suggestion: Call or post my friend Skip Mascorro, owner of Moto-Discovery, and explain to Skip what your life time off road experience is. Skip will let you know honestly if you've the skills and stamina to make it to the coast or not. Skip's number is 1-800-233-0564 or send him an e-mail at skip@motodiscovery.com Thanks for your kind offer to Shiney and I to let us store the bikes in Deming at your place and run us to El Paso.
