I spent six weeks riding around Mexico on my Honda CRF 250 L. It's the first time I've traveled so far on a smaller bike. I did truck it to the border at McAllen, TX. (1,050 miles each way) and crossed into Mexico at Reynosa, Tamaulipas. Once you get deep into the country you are glad you brought it. While you are screaming at high RPM's across the 100F / 38 C desert not so much.
This was a very different trip for me. Usually I avoid large cities, this time they were the goal. My M.O. was to spend a week in each city and visit the sights... Cantinas, Cathedrals, Museums, Historical Landmarks Restaurants, etc.
My route was down the east side of CDMX around the bottom and back up the west side to my truck in McAllen.
Many people seem to think it's hot all over Mexico .. not. I was at six to eight thousand feet / eighteen to twenty four hundred meters. Most days were mid 70's to low 80's F / 24 to 28 C. It was the rainy season but it usually rained late in the evening for a few hours or at night. The days were beautiful.
I have a bunch of photos and will try to restrain myself but I fear the pic limit will make this a two part affair.
