The days are flying by ....

Well yes, as you can guess i am terrible at keeping this up too date, either we are in the middle of nowhere or I am too tired or had too much beer to write .... most of the time we ride hard all day and it is too late by the time I eat, then look for and internet cafe. Well my last post was comming into Mexico. we travelled thur some wild areas in the north . Very beautiful and desolate , lots of time no one was on the same road as us for hrs at a time . On our 3 rd day in Mexico north of creel , we started to climb in altitude and ..... we hit snow and lots of it , temp dropped to -3 c, and on went all the warm cloths , thank god for the heated vest , I also needed hand warmers but had to leave them on the other bike , not thinking i would have use for them again.. ha I could have used them a half dozen times already !
We had slow going for 3 days only doing 1oo km some days ice , snow , mud , we both took numerous wipeouts but peatch won here . no one was husrt and the bikes did good , the racks and pelican cases were great for protection. We had a German biker join use for a day on a BMW650 , ha this was our slowest day . The mud got so deep that his front tire stopped turning and was skidding along , so it was really slow going . and lots of wipeouts for him , he finally got pissed enough that he loaded his bike on a truck and paid for it to get hauled to the next town. I have some great photo´s when I can get them loaded again . After a hard day and slow going we made it to creel which is at the top of cooper canyon.
