Day 8 - Mexico City Here I Come

Got up and headed toward Mexico City to meet up with Garry and head to his house. Took the toll roads and made good time. The toll roads in Mexico are in good condition and no topes to worry about. The downside is they can be expensive. I spent about 300 pesos($25) to go about 200 miles.
Meet up with Garry at 10:30 am and he was surprised to see the hard panniers on the bike. It's defiantly unique and probably the only GSXR with hard bags. Then he took me for a crazy ride through Mexico City to his house. He and his wife Ivan and son Lloyd were all very inviting and opened there house to me and the other two travelers that where staying there.
After arriving I meet the other two motorcycle travelers and they helped me get my stuff in the house. Brian is from Australia, and Colm is from Ireland. They started there trip in Miami Florida and plan to go as far as Costa Rica and Panama.
First day in Mexico city and Llyod was going to Luche Libre wrestling match and asked us to come along. It was a fun event to watch and something totally unexpected. After the wrestling went to a party and played Rock Band, had a few beers and stayed up way too late. On the way home we stoped for "24 Hour Party Tacos" which were very tasty. The taco stand closed after we left LOL. Just as we got bck to Garry's the sun was coming up and i crawled into bed at about 7 am. It was a long night.
Some quick stats; i rode 2780 miles in 7 days and about 53 hours on the bike. I still have a lot of miles to go

  1. Glad to hear you had some company and were able to unwind, even if you overdid it. So far, so good, but don't let your guard down.
    Love,
