[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 1041259, member: 4296"] Yo Moosehead, I see You and The Goalie riding between Mexicali and Loreto in a single day! Trust me, unless you ride at night that will not happen. It's 700 miles, but on the slowest roads you've ever ridden on. You absolutely don't want to ride at night in Mexico, es muy Peligro. Animals en Los Caminos! In addition to 700+ miles on busted up pavement (Asphalt Contractors in Mexico are the Brother In Laws of the Current Governor!), in that stretch you'll be subjected to 4 separate inspections by Los Federales. Each Military Checkpoint inspection will take a minimum of 30+ minutes. More for Canucks. [U][B]PLEASE NOTE:[/B][/U] I'm not making politics here, since Canada has trade with countries the US doesn't: Canadians have a rep as weapons smugglers! Maria Elena got a pass because she's beautiful, they wanted to flirt with her and see her moto. Mike and Rob, you are muy Feo- no passes for you! Plus, if you hit the checkpoint at San Ignacio after dark you can expect an hour for a very thorough inspection by the Mexican Army - es Verdad! Any Cartel, Bandito or Narcotraficante activity in Mexico occurs under cover of darkness, the young Mexican soldiers are trigger happy at night! I'll assist in your border crossing obtaining your Mexican Tourist Permit and escort you to the base of La Rumorosa Grade, Mexicali traffic sucks! Also on your return June 10 you show you will be spending the night at either Bahia de Ballenas or Laguna San Ignacio; it's hard to tell from map. Please be aware both of those destinations, either Punta Abreojos or El Almacen, are on [SIZE=18px]extremely[/SIZE] sandy roads; I barely made them on a GS! [/QUOTE]
