Our second day off the bikes hangin’ in Barra. This place is cool. pretty low key with lots of gringos. We’ve met people from Black Duck MN, WA, OR and lots of Canadians. Yesterday we did much of nothing. Had a massage. Walked around town, had a few beers and just kinda hung out with Rob, Chris and Leann. My sides still hurt from laughing with Rob….Good times hangin with you guys. Thanks!! They left today for home and we are relaxing at the hotel doing a bit of bike maintance. Cleaning and lubing the chains. Checking nuts and bolts stuff like that. That gravel road to Batapilis really shook up the rigs, so were checking em out for our departure tomorrow.
Dan Has had this squeek for the last week and a half. He has been struggling to find it and its driving us both nuts. “The only good thing is that its loud enough for the mic to pick it up and bug John too” He said… He has the fairing apart and parts all over the lobby. Not sure if you can see it in the picture but that is the front desk just behind me in the back ground. Our bikes are right in the middle of the Lobby. You got to love Mexico!!
I’m sitting here around the pool with WiFi typing this blog. Its about 75 with a nice on shore breeze to keep the humidity down. Trying to decide if I should take a nap, Have a cold beer, go read my book or get some lunch… I think I’ll do them all!
Cheers!

Great photos guys! Looks like you're having a great time moto, experience and scenery-wise. But at your present progress rate, looks like you won't make it to the southern end until next year ;-)
Well Im back in the cold ass PNW.
I dont think I have ever seen two more haggard people. Dan and John had ridden over 400 miles on Mexican roads when I ran into them in Barra, they were barely able to walk straight and as John said I dont think the first beer even hit the sides. The next day in typical Clemens style although road weary they started fixing other peoples bikes in the hotel.
There back on the road now and the local sheep are a little less on edge.
I just hope there is a little tequila left in town for when I go back next year.
Great to see you guys.
