The missing one's?? HA Just kidding.. I like Mexico but too old to want to drive...I fly and ride the 12 peso bus or a RollFast. Post some pictures. Know where Nogales is. Just where is Playa Azul?? I thought it was on Cozumel. Did you mean Azul. Playa translated mean opening to the beach I think.

Riding solo in Mexico is like playing a craps table, some get lucky and some don't. It's always a gamble down there.

It would seem like the ones that had problems across the border are not here to post about their trip. ☠️☠️ just saying

What he said... Call me a coward, but call me alive.

But glad you had a great, and safe trip. I often travel to Mexico on business and love the country, but probably know too much about it to attempt a solo ride..

So exactly which Playa Azul did you ride to? There are hundreds of them in Mexico. Playa Azul refers to a beach area. We are currently in Playa Del Carmen wintering and there is Playa Azul here. It is a resort spot on the beach.
I agree with TwiZted Biker and Bradn. You take your life in your own hands even thinking about driving here. In a car would be bad enough and getting on a Harley would be insane.
For most of them their stop signs are not even suggestions, they frankly don't exist.

Actually, just found out, imbulhman just got a little confused after crossing the Canada border. He is talking about the bar Azul on East Chatham in Chicago. He truly would have been safer in Mexico.
