My longest ride was about 140miles. From Tucson To Santa Ana Sonora, Mexico. Took about 11 hours one flat tire and a broken throttle cable, which I had to rig on the side of the road and ran the last twenty or so miles using the throttle cable as a pull string to work the gas.
Had a guy in the town of Magdalena make a right turn right in front of me. I hit is pass. side door and put a huge dent. He just waved at me and drove off. Ran into a Mexico policia who told me I wasnt allowed to ride on the highways, but there is no other way to get there but the highway so I waited for him to leave and I went on my way.
Whenever I would come to a stop, a huge crowd would come and surround me asking questions about my MB. They all asked the same thing, "Where do I get one". There is a huge market in Mexico for MB's.
I will be doing this ride again in July 24 . I race a off-road rally race there every year, and I also have family there.
