Hi all,

I will be starting my trip in only 2 short weeks. If anyone is interested in my bike it is a 2008KLR650 with 12,000kms, doo-hickey upgrade, Thermobob, front and rear crash bars, (homemade) hard side panniers, high windshield, GPS mount and USB hook-up, handlebar braces. Im hoping she will be everything I hope her to be!

Just finalizing insurance and road side assistance.

I have opted to insure my bike for the year and cancel said policy once I arrive in Mexico

Grant says: ALWAYS read the policy CAREFULLY to be SURE you are covered on your motorcycle. There are exceptions and variations depending on home country, where you're going and a lot of other things. For example, UK residents are not covered for motorcycle touring! "No Touring or where a motorbike is the main mode of transport. No Personal Liability Cover."

READ THE POLICY AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT - BECAUSE IT DOES!
