OK nevermind...
Foller the cowboys. Got it.
And I reckon I'd better keep up, huh?

Thanks for marking your calander.OK, workin' on my list of shtuff ta do...And it's longer than I thought. The bike is stock. Need to bulletproof this bitch.

The learnin' Spanish looks to be the toughest task ahead.
(I have a helluva time with English)
I've got 'cerveza, por favor' but what should be next?

I'm thinkin' I'll be OK unless I'm dumb enough ta try an follow fjrrider on some gawdawful donkey trail and get lost...

Trust me, rushes: I am the very slowest and most cautious off road rider you will ever share a trail with! I fractured my right distal fibula off road in Mexico three years ago and it took three months for it to heal up. My Young Punk Doctor said to me: "You know if you were 28, instead of 58, this would only have take a month to mend!" I would have jimmy-kicked if I could of, but my right leg was in a cast. Now that I am 61, if I break anything on this trip, just borrow a .30-.06 from a Mexican rancher and put a bullet in me. Shiny can have my M/C stuff! I will not be rushing anywhere! Slow & Easy!OK nevermind... Foller the cowboys. Got it.

No problemo, Chris. I will get both you and ShinyPartsUp some Mexican wives. They will be about my size, but muy bonita!Thanks for marking your calander.OK, workin' on my list of shtuff ta do...And it's longer than I thought. The bike is stock. Need to bulletproof this bitch.

Don't sign up for that Spanish program. You will get rope in for a monthly fee. Don't feel bad I tried some of the free online learning sites and determined that I better off just sticking with english for now. I figure I let Don do all our talking (as scary as that may be)!
Does he understand English?I figure I let Don do all our talking (as scary as that may be)!

I'll ask again when he's sobered up....
Russ, Both Brian Boles and Papa Chuy speak enough Spanish fluently to get you food, fuel and a hotel room. We can even barter with las Putas to get you a discount in a Mexican whorehouse; even though that didn't do us much good when we tried to get SkooterG laid in a brothel in Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur back in November of 2004. Even with him having a fistful of 500 peso notes!edit..Does he understand English?I figure I let Don do all our talking (as scary as that may be)!

The speakin spanish question, Don. Should I worry about it or blow it off?
You cain't more drunker than me...
Spanish is the bane of my existence (any language is). I bought the Spanish lesson thingy and never opened it or canceled the automatic "next lesson for a fee" benefit. So I guess so far it hasn't helped me at all since I haven't opened the box. I'm going to rely on Amigos for anything other than asking where the head is. There's always pantomime -- I'll bring a picture of BustaNut and people will point to the toilet I bet...OK, workin' on my list of shtuff ta do...And it's longer than I thought. The bike is stock.

If we have to explain, you just wouldn't understand.Why does this thread have such long legs? I'm tired of seeing it pop up in View New Posts. <_<
I was once in Batopilas with fellow riders and was late for breakfast at a restaurant (and I know very little Spanish). I met one of my buddies coming out of the restaurant and I said to him, "All I want is some eggs, tortillas, and coffee." The gal who ran the restaurant overheard and repeated, in English, "eggs, tortillas, and coffee -- si, no problem." (actually, several of those words are Spanish)...I'm going to rely on Amigos for anything other than asking where the head is. There's always pantomime -- ... and people will point to the toilet I bet...
Well spoken and very true, charismaticmegafauna! The locals are more than willing to try to meet you half-way and they do appreciate your attempting to speak their language. No Bustanut pictures, por favor! A friendly smile goes a long way in Mexico in starting off any conversation.I was once in Batopilas with fellow riders and was late for breakfast at a restaurant (and I know very little Spanish).

You'll have fun and it's really not that difficult (unless, it gets technical...). And the locals, for the most part are willing to try to meet you half-way. Actually, they really appreciate it when you attempt Spanish.
It won't hurt to study-up a bit before you go, tho...
