Two idiots who don't know better than to stay out of Mexico.
Through a set of unforeseeable circumstances, I have two consecutive weeks of vacation!
Two weeks feels so luxurious! Lots of possibilities for destinations. We can go further afield and spend more time at each stop…
John and I discuss possible destinations and the various combinations of transport. Of course every scenario involves motorcycles. It’s just the choosing between which bikes; all pavement? All dirt? A mix of the two? What about trailering to a destination? If we trailer the dirt bikes, do we want to camp (yes). If we ride the street bikes, do we want to camp (depends).
Mexico is always in the running and finally wins out. It just can’t be beat as a destination. Much as we both want to see the American West--Mexico is closer, offers a fabulous experience and the economics can‘t be ignored. (Kinda sad that we can’t afford to tour in our own country, but there it is.)
So, Mexico it is. With the destination in mind, we again consider which bikes. We settle on the Stroms. We can cover more ground quicker and more comfortably and the Givi cases offer more security than the soft bags on the dual sports.
Ok, we’ve chosen our destination (albeit writ large) and our conveyance, better get packing.
