I'd organize an informal search party of two or three friends/relatives and fly down to Puerto Vallarta. Rent a car and back track his direction of travel. Get out and walk where sides of the road are not visible. Good luck, prayers and positive thoughts that he will be found safe.
If you have the funds, charter a helicopter and fly his route at low altitude.
I am guessing the Mexican police have been notified.

I'd say this is very possibly a life or death problem here. Life being the slimmer option upflying has it right. They need to get help, fly down and look. There may never be a clear answer if it is truly a bad outcome, but it's the best they can do. Hoping for the best for him and his family.

Not an area to be around. Lots of issues with drug gangs, murders and crooked cops. Hope it works out

Please go to ADVRider.com and post this asap.
That is the forum that caters to riders doing this. They will have riders checking in from riding in and through Mexico.
Contact a moderator and see if they can post a sticky at the top of the Ride Reports forum.
You might also check his home computer and see if this gentleman frequents ADVRider. And if he did, what screen name he used (increases the chances someone knows him). If he researched the ride much at all, he probably signed onto the site at some point.
