Welcome to the Two Wheeled Texans community! 
Feel free to hang out and lurk as long as you like. However, we would like to encourage you to Here's a few reasons to come and visit down here in Veracruz. If you've already ridden here, maybe the pics will convince you to come back!
Grab something cold or hot and kickback for a few minutes.
One of the things I like to do. Taking pictures above 8,000ft on a curvy road.
One of the things I like to eat. Picadas with salsa chipotle, chorizo, and fresh onion. Your visor will never fog and your Airhawk will never be the same.
Dawn on the coast highway. Vapor trails at sunrise.
Local wildlife
Skinnier, recently immigrated local wildlife
Porkier local wildlife, time to lay off the picadas!
Hidden local wildlife
Former local wildlife.
Ahoy!
Visiting wildlife
Heading for over 14,000ft
Mountain meadow
The old and the new
Near Acocomotla
Attempting the Cofre de Perote climb. The ride up is not the problem, it is the ride down that gets real interesting on those tires.
View of Ciudad Mendoza in the Orizaba valley from the "Stairway to Heaven" leading to the first of two Atzompas, the drops here are best avoided.
Halfway deep into the "Sierra Fria" panorama of Xoxocotla
Deeper into the "Sierra Fria" in Tehuipango, start brushing up on your Orizaba dialect of Nahuatl and you can use it at the Pemex stations back in here.
3 degrees of separation from el Pico
Barranca leading towards Jalcomulco outside of Totutla
Racing the train on the Serdan Altiplano just over the state line in Puebla.
El Pico de Orizaba doing her thang!
Veracruz as seen from Boca del Rio
Patiently waited for the light to get this shot on the old "5 Haciendas route" from Guadalupe Victoria, Puebla to Ciudad Serdan, Puebla
New bypass of Xalapa (you can forget about the nightmare of traffic in Xalapa) is open. Also, there is the cuota road from Xalapa to Perote so you can do Veracruz to Perote in 1:15mins if you are hauling the mail on a Sunday morning or afternoon.
Looking down into what Andres and Arte call "Greenland", near Colipa and Juichique de Ferrer on the road to El Huarfano, Veracruz
Buy me breakfast and I'll tell you two very interesting stories about the place in this shot.
Naolinco lookout
Friendly little mountain village
Learning to fly? Or yearning to?
Clouds and dust storm over Perote as seen from the road to Los Humeros outside of Maztaloya and El Frijol Colorado, right smack dab on the Veracruz-Puebla state line
Typical mountain road heading up towards around 9,000ft and empty for the most part, as usual
Lagoon outside of Alchichica, Puebla but not the Alchichica lagoon, that's a different one
Time to water the horse and see a man about another one
We'll cap this off with a shot from a dead arrow straight stretch of road on the way to La Cantona (archeological ruins site) across the state line in Puebla. This straightaway is more than 5 miles (at least) and if you catch it on a chilly morning, just after dawn, and everything is right in the universe, you can hear the voice of Burt Munro from Invercargill, telling you to pin it WFO!
Thanks for looking at the pics. This is all located about 600 easy Mexican miles from you guys in Texas. That's a long one day or an easy two day ride away. Beats crossing Mexico to get to the Pacific. LOL!
Thanks Tourmeister for the lesson in pic posting! Gracias!
All pics were shot with either my old Nokia cell phone, and a Fuji or a Samsung pocket camera. DSLR's are for the high rollers!!
