[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 1146330, member: 32023"] I learned a tremendous amount while on this trip. In many ways, I believe that is what my purpose was, on this trip. Many people rode many more miles than I, saw sights that I had dreamed of and only experienced through their eyes. All the while I was drinking in the goodness of the surroundings, the people and their willingness to help, their willingness to overcome the cultural and language barriers that separated us and create misunderstanding. I would love to put together a group to return soon to Mexico. From watching the dynamics of the groups, I have come to believe that 8 is the absolute maximum that should be considered and 6 is about the practical limit. Regarding going back ... Indeed, I was talking to my son night before last and he has signed on for a trip in November. We are going back! Regarding bikes, I too am getting a more appropriate bike for Mexico. I have come to understand that as nice as the XR-R is, it is not suited for my style, in Mexico. I want to go slow, drink in the sounds and smells that surround me, to smile, to wave at the children, to stop along the way at roadway stands, take photos, and on and on. Life is not meant to be experienced from the confines of a hermedicially sealed cage, rather from the saddle of a beast. The friction of the wind across my gear conspires to strip me of my mask and I am alive. For the purpose of going to Mexico, I have decided a DRZ is about the best fit for me. A 400 is plenty of power, and in stock trim, the mill is very reliable. I found that I had to fight the XR-R when I wanted to stop. It was interupting my rhythm. It was not enjoyable. The DRZ will return peace to the process for me. I don't remember if I mentioned it anywhere above, but for some life is a destination and for others it is a journey. For me, life is a journey. It is journey wrapped in the friendship and laughter of my friends and loved ones that I have met throughout the course of my journey. I am blessed to have found the wonderful people here at DRN. I am in awe and blessed beyond measure. [B]Time is a valuable commodity. Recognizing that fact, I hope that everyone enjoyed our journey and that none considered their time wasted. Sincerely, Tony[/B] Thanks for allowing Gene and I to share our journey. It was a tremendous experience. [/QUOTE]
