Nope. I live on the border and have not crossed it in years.

Great way to never be seen again and give your bike to someone that wants it more than you.

You are more brave than me to even consider riding or driving in Mexico even in a Large group.

No Thanks

Been on my bucket list a long time. I would imagine if you travel with a group that knows the language and terrain you won't have any issues beyond the occasional shake down by local cops. I've heard Copper Canyon is an amazing ride.

I have employees that live on or very near the boarder, they not only speak the language, they have family living on the other side, one of them has a wife who crosses weekly for her job. not one of them cross unless they have no choice, this didn't used to be the case, When I lived in So Cal, I would cross all the time (70's), when I moved here to Texas, I crossed on occasion (2000), I wouldn't cross today short of being kidnapped at gunpoint and forced.

The Law down there makes our corrupt politicians look like angels of the church, you cannot not tell who is a bad'r guy, the drug cartels running the place or the cops.

Enter at your own risk.

Flying into a resort is fairly safe if this was your plan, Riding across the border is problematic, you will be on the radar of every bad guy in the area.
