Join Neal Davis as he leads two-wheeled tours though the varied wonders of northern Mexico. The rich history and culture of Mexico have given our southern neighbor a unique flavor that is best appreciated first-hand--and motorcycling makes that possible like no other method of travel, connecting you with the people, the landscape, and the interactions between them that often lay beneath the politics of Mexico's turbulent past.

Today, history coexists easily with contemporary Mexico, and you will find modern roads dotted with 17th-century missions and colonial outposts. Mexico's legendary mineral resources have left evidence of wealth and gentility far from the beaten path taken by less-adventurous travelers--making them perfect destinations for motorcycle touring. And, Mexico's well-maintained roads wind through dramatic countryside to rival anything you have yet experienced, be they lonely roads along the high desert, twisty roads through lush native jungle, or roads that expose you to the rugged vistas of The Devil's Backbone or the Copper Canyon.

Davis details four extended loops from the border, each with its own theme, and all of them suitable for street bikes. He also offers many suggestions for accommodations, side trips, connecting routes, and dual-sport diversions so you can plan a trip to suit your own time, budget, and interests. Many practical matters are covered in detail: border crossing, insurance, money, gasoline, navigation, medical care, and motorcycle repair. Helpful appendices cover packing lists, additional references, and useful Spanish words and phrases.

Having traveled extensively in Mexico since 1972, Davis is well-qualified to evaluate any lingering myths regarding safety, driving etiquette, and common health concerns, giving you straight answers based on both experience and common sense. But be warned, Davis' enthusiasm for both Mexico and its friendly people is more than just contagious, it could very well lead to the memories of a lifetime!
