I would give some advice, but you have been riding longer then me and probable already know everything thier is to know.

I made a trip with a few buddy's from Tucson to LaPaz, MX on my XR600. Alot of it was off-road. It was one of the best experience's of my life.

I wish a safe and fun ride for you Joe. Be careful, look out for the idiot's!

Good Luck Joe
