Hola Mextrexonians
I am in Matehuala and doing fine
The most interesting thing is the laughter I get from Army checkpiont soldiers. The ask about the bailing wire, duct tape, paste, JB weld zip ties and dried animal feces holding the moto together.
I myself look like the result of a auto recyling plant, the square block of compressed metal. But I was born that way so no love lost.
Walking around, getting on and off the bike is hard, but when riding I honestly feel no pain at all. The perfect position.
I soon discovered that I landed on my camera in the crash, but it only broke apart to a point and still worked, and I have ALL the photos from the trip on the SanDisk.
Have been walking with support (and the Mexican pharmacy system) but doing better every day.
Hank missed a donkey on MX 200 north of Playa Azul by a whisker. ooh la la pucker pucker.
Went to Guanajuato and relived some great memories from that amazing town.
My amigos were pulled over by the Federal Police but had many laughes with them. Trust me the police are not interested in Gringos but will chat all day about motorcycles.
Remember this phrase...No Fumar Espanol...I dont smoke spanish...
The bike was overhauled in PV by Hank and I. Tossed lots of metal in the hotel trash.
Bent fork and mostly non important issues
Major casualty in the crash was my ego. I was no Steve McQueen in Great Escape.
Contents of left side case being held together by shipping strap
Huge impact bruse on left hip, left foot purple, knuckles on left glove worn down to leather. Lower back medicated.
Big smile on face. The crash fairy can kiss me.
Its not IF but WHEN, wear your gear
Google Patzcuaro. YOU ALL MUST GO THERE. Went to Isla Janitzio nearby, epicenter of Nov 2 Dia de los Muertos celebrations for all of Mexico.
I am returning to MX in Feb. Running the coast to Mahahual. On a donkey if I have to.
Wish I was back in Galeana but spouse wants to confirm my reports of well being.
Friday night will be in La Posada in Laredo, leaving Sat morning for S.A. If you are in Laredo Fri night big botella de vino tinto on Roberto Loco.
Saludos and wish I was with you all
Major ride report in the works....
