I haven't check TWT for years and what a surprise to find this threat, wow!
I was there in 2008, rode my 1150gs, the first day I did the Gold standard, a group of 6 left around 8am or so and didn't make it back to galeana till 11:30pm that night, the most challenging part was crossing the Sierra Mesa de Oso, well that was bc my bike was to heavy, suitable for a 650. Truly remarkable ride, a good part of the trip is in the middle of nowhere literally! there is nothing for miles!
The second day up to the Potosi 13000ft + over the sea level "Top of the World" indeed!
I have travel to Mexico most of my adult life and love it. Last year I did Cabo San Lucas, in Nov. 4000 miles loop I was able to watch baja 1000 at different stages.
I Know this North Mx. area pretty well, and rode all over solo most of the time, but not any more, situation have become intangible in every way.
In any case, I wasn't aware that these bunch of nuts were venturing to Nuevo Leon and specially to Tamaulipas which are the nest of the worst narco crime going on in Mexico!
So with that said, I'm joining in, Let me try to get the ball rolling here to see if I can make it, glad I checked!
