Pizza Insurance.

;D

If that's not successful for you, keep Dave's response in mind.


Pizzachit and national plates. Highly recommended for those who live here. But we're not the ones usually preyed upon. Extortion is primarily a tourism related industry.

I think you're pretty much right. I've spent a lot of time in the infamous corridor and have never been extorted. I've been shot at near my home but, that's another story.

You're probably right, again. They pulled up next to me at 50 mph and fired. Missed my head by two feet. If they were serious, I'm sure they could have hit me.

So, that's where it came from. Recently, when Minnow had his truck stolen, he refered to it as his Pizza truck. I think he even mentioned Pizza Chit.

Thanks for the background.

I am thinking of taking a small motorcycle on one of those bumper hitch carriers. Now my question is "Is this just asking for trouble as I can just hear the police saying stuff like "you need to have a red rag hanging from the back" to "your tail lights and license plates are being blocked" (in their opinion)
Has anyone ever had any problems transporting items using
such a wheel l carrier? What would be the "fine" for the above. Also is ther any trouble using offroad non plated
trail bikes in Baja?
