Motorcycle Mexico DVD Review
Saturday, 19 November 2011 12:50
Have you always wanted to ride your motorcycle to Mexico but didn’t know what to expect? Have you postponed your trip to Mexico because you are worried about safety, health or boarder crossings? Then pick up a copy of Motorcycle Mexico by Ben Slavin, a two-disk DVD set filled with information about riding in Mexico.
I first met Ben in October, 2009 in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico. Ben rode into town and we met for breakfast and to share stories with 4 or 5 other riders who had gathered in San Cristóbal. Ben and I bumped into each other monnths later in El Calafate, Argentina and during the next few days, we shared stories of our trips since that breakfast in Mexico.
After returning home, a Motorcycle Mexico DVD set showed up in my mail box and I spent the next several days watching the DVDs and listening to riders talking about their experiences while riding in Mexico.
Motorcycle Mexico is a two DVD set filled with information and advice from Ben and many other motorcycle travelers on their trips to Mexico. You will learn by listening to local riders and other motorcycle travelers who have been to Mexico a number of times. Ben interviewed these riders and compiled their knowledge with his in this DVD set. Topics such as border crossings, health, safety, riding styles, navigation and more are covered to help you in planning your trip to Mexico. Don’t expect Motorcycle Mexico to be a Hollywood type DVD. Instead, Motorcycle Mexico concentrates on providing useful information about riding in Mexico.

When planning my trip to South America I wrote about my thoughts on Which Adventure Bike I would use for the trip. That trip cemented the travel bug and with Mongolia in my sights as the next destination I again asked myself, Which Adventure Bike. The 2010 KTM 990 Adventure was the answer.

West Coast Madness IX
Tuesday, 21 June 2011 15:43
For the ninth time, the Madones descended from all parts of North America to this years destination, Weaverville, California. I arrived in Weaverville Thursday afternoon after a leisurely 4 day ride down the Oregon Coast
turing inland on Hwy 299 to Weaverville.
At the end of two days of riding the fantastic roads of Northern California, the Madones started gathering hoping to find someone to lead them to the festivities.
While some worked on sorting their phone
others told stories of how big or fast or ..... well, you get the idea
in the end, the Madones paused long enough to enjoy each others company, the roads, food, and the friendship of nine years of riding Ducati's greatest motorcycle; the ST2,ST4 and ST4s.
At 11:00 AM Sunday morning I left Weaverville chasing Mike up Highway 3. We grabbed a short section of I-5 to Ashland, found the Dead Indian and ended up hanging out with locals in Medford.
Monday, Mike and I departed company as I took off for Spokane. Riding some of Oregon's finer road, I searched for antelope and looked for fossils until, in the late afternoon, I opted for the safety of I-90 and blasted into the Inland Empire and home.
Another year and another Madness bits the dust
Trans Labrador Highway
Monday, 01 November 2010 00:00
I arrived in Baie-Comeau, Quebec, after four days of riding across the US and a stop in Saint Catharines, Ontario to visit Kevin, my riding buddy in Central America. Baie-Comeau is where my journey to ride the Trans Labrador Highway (TLH) starts. Another day and 580 km, and I would reach the province of Labrador and the start of the TLH.
In 1999, the first phase of the TLH was completed. 549 km of gravel road between Labrador City and Goose Bay. In early 2010, phase three of the project was completed between Goose Bay and Cartwright. This phase is 250 km of gravel road, and for the first time, enables you to travel form Labrador City to Read Bay - a total of 1200 km through the remote province of Labrador.
There is only one, maybe two, places for food and gas before reacting Labrador City, so I filled my 41 liter gas tank and grabbed a bite to eat before taking off on Hwy 389. The first 211 km is paved, and by the looks of this sign, was going to be fun.
It's going to be a fun day!
