I met a Mexican named Alphonse.. That was more then enough to convince me I didn't wanna go to Mexico.

https://www.motodiscovery.com/Huasteca-Mexico-Adventure-Expedition-Motorcycle-Tour
Tour Character
This is an adventure ride that will be a mix of paved touring and off road explorations. Off road riding should only be moderately challenging for the experienced, spirited and physically abled riding enthusiast. Some days will provide options to take the pavement or experience off road sections. As with any MotoDiscovery Expedition, teamwork and flexibility are essential.
So you want to see the REAL Mexico.
DON STANLEY RODE WITH PANCHO VILLA..it is true! Don Stanley and MotoDiscovery:
The MotoDiscovery tribe is a special one. Within our loyal following there is one "veteran" out there who goes as far back as our Pancho Villa Moto-Tour days, the affable Don Stanley. We'd have to dig back into the archives to find out how many tours he has been on with us. Many! He rode with Pancho Villa for sure!
Don has inspired us to return to an area of Central Mexico on a high adventure ride through the Huasteca region along with a few friends and an open invitation for you to ride along and experience one of the most charming regions you'll find South of the Border.
It is great having you with us again Don. Muchas gracias amigo!
Don collaborated with MotoDiscovery to create a ride through what could argualbey be considered one of Mexico’s most beautiful, yet overlooked regions, the Huasteca. This east central region is filled with geographcial diversity, a richness in history and native culture, and an opportunity to enjoy great riding both on and off the pavement. This area is highlighted by the most northern cloud forests in the hemisphere, the El Cielo Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO sight that covers about 560 square miles reaching a peak altitude of 7,500 ft. above sea level.
One stop where we’ll be for two nights is the legendary Real de Catorce, a hidden away Colonial era mining town in the high altiplano, accessed only after riding through a one kilometer long tunnel after climbing up a 14 mile long hand laid cobble stone road. On exiting the tunnel it is like you have experienced passage into a time zone set back two hundred years. Real de Catorce will invite exploration both on two wheels and walking the old streets of this revitalized once ghost town.
In the usual MotoDiscovery style this event will be supported by our great staff team, a 4X4 vehicle and driver will be employed to bring up the rear, and depending on the group size one to two riding staff will lead the way. Great food, the best available accommodations and the benefit of over 33 years of experience in Old Mexico guarantees this to be a great riding event.
Sign up soon. This one will fill fast. Don’t miss out on this pioneering event into the heart of Old Mexico. Vamanos muchachos!

The last minute of this 8 minute video features Hacienda Santa Engracia, which wiil be our last overnight stop in Mexico on our ride back to Estados Unidos ese!

Unfortunately a work commitment means I'm going to have to bail on this... bummer 
I sent an email to Skip/Motodiscovery, but haven't heard back yet... guessing they are busy.

Don, which bike are you taking?
Back Door Bob: I am taking a bike to Huasteca/Potosina y Real de Catorce that looks a lot like the blue moto on on the left, which sort of looks like the white bike on the right - if that GS bike had new sprockets and a new drive chain on it ese! jes' sayin' and nuff said, Ai Caramba!

I know we will never see BeemerDons at FODS North in Calabogie. Those trails would have our Donny crying like a little girl.

Been slowly getting the KTM ready for our trip. Installed LED lights, had my seat redone, and etc. When I saw that Super Plush Suspensions was having a great deal on suspension re-working, I decided to take full advantage of it. So I went and removed the forks without a problem, but when I removed the rear mono-shock I found this:
The bolt is from the upper mounting point for the mono-shock and the round cracked cam is what the bolt goes through::
Does KTM really believe that all DS riders weigh only 180 LBS or less and only ride their big Adventure bikes on the street to a Starbucks!!
I mean come on, it is not like this is a BMW, for gosh darn sakes!
I also found out yesterday from Super Plush that it will take over a month for their manufacture to build a new rear spring for my fat ass! Good thing I spent over $100 to ship these parts quickly to SPS
Anyway, I really like riding my Victory but I have real need to ride the KTM.............
