I just bought a eureka 3 person tent at campmor for $70.00 (it said it has a $10 mail in rebate but I cant figure out where that is, (i think the chick at the counter forgot to include that part). I also just bout a northface 20 degree sleeping bag on sale at campmor for $69 with a compression sack (waterproof around $25.00) so it packs about 11" x 8" (can get smaller if you tried too) I looked into the cheap walmart tents but be careful whith those cuz they will be heavier and they wont pack down as small. I beleive their pack down lengths were still near 3 ft long. Thats just bulky I think.
Soon I'll be throwing a passenger seat along with a luggage rack on the back as well. I just haven't picked out the type of luggage bag I want to get. I don't want saddlebags, I may however opt for a solo sadle bag but they are too expensive for just 1 bag thats small.
Hope that helps midnight

I have been living in Mexico for the past 13 years, and have traveled all over Mexico.
If you stay away from the border cities, you should have no problems. I would not advise camping in Mexico. I have never come across camp sites like there are in the United States, here in Mexico. Camping along the road at night is too dangerous, and you are just asking to be robbed. There are plenty of cheap and clean hotel rooms. With the exchange rate at 15 to 1, you can get a room for about $30.00 a night.

Yeah, Mexico has some nice places to visit - if you take a jet and land where they want tourists. The open road is an anarchist free-for-all. It would be a great road trip - back in 1977.
Be safe. I hear Canada is nice in the spring...

I've taken a bike trip into Mexico. We travelled all the way down the Baja to Cabo San Lucas. Learned a lot...glad we did it...Even though it was only 2 years ago ... I would NEVER do it again .. nor would I advise anyone to do it either. Policia are corrupt, and no place is a 'safe' place.
Even got to hear 1st hand ... our guys witnessed their "sting" operation, and it's not a joking matter ... This stuff really happens down there. Even the locals will tell you ... you can't be careful enough.
