Mexico by Motorcycle ... in 1981

What a brilliant ride! It took me back in time to show me how good and how fun you guys had it back then... That was a motorcycle adventure in the purest sense! Thanks for sharing! EPIC!

that is history and what a great story on that dealer within this RR..granted we could go off on a tangent and discuss what things were like in dealers back then (saw dust and machine clippings, grease on the floor and those glorious honda ct70's/xl70's in colors you wanted to eat like topaz orange)..but i digress..cept for these sterile dealers we have today is just pathetic...excellent..just excellent historical perspective...sorry for the off topic but bringing back a lot of memories-god speed

Thanks for sharing, you have some amazing photos.

Thanks. Great report. Great pix.

Thanks so much for sharing...... The photos reminded me of my first ride down there in 1973,,,,,,, thanks!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks. Awesome pics. Love the old Vancouver m/c shop pic.
As an old air-head guy, did you ever cross paths with Lawrence Bird, from Brandon Manitoba?

Thanks a million for taking the time to share. I'm blown away by the quality of the pics.

simply outstanding ! .... thank you for posting this

some streets and buildings in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta are still the same, or close to it .... I rode a CJ360T back then - but only in BC !

really enjoyed this

Simply wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to create such a great historical document.

Just plain excellent....

Cool

I was up in the Alps on a T140 with a tent and throw overs, back then

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos and your story. It's like a time capsule.

thanks for the Lawrence Bird memories.
i still have a Yamaha brochure from his Brandon store.
1967. Priced via Lawrence's handwriting.

Great report with some great history brought back with your photos. Recognized a few places in your pics . . . not the least of which was the Hotel Hacienda de Cobos in Guanajuato. I stayed in the room at the bottom left corner of your pic below - hasn't changed much.

This is a fantastically engaging photo set - I really enjoyed it. Thanks for writing it up!

great pics, great post. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the RR

Thanks for ride down memory lane. Regretfully, the old VW Bus no longer
resides along Hwy 1 in Baja. It was always a great landmark on our way
to San Francisquito and on to Tripui.
