No no no Tobie! If they see you make eye contact you will lose the right of way by default.

Dont you just love the younger MX drivers?


It seems like a large percentage of them have lowered their short wheel base Honda's, etc. to the point that they can't cross a Tope except at an oblique angle with only one tire crossing at a time. Then if you try to pass them, heaven forbid, they kick in the turbo charger just to show you that they own the road. :O

Those were Hondas? Sorry, I thought they were just colorful topes!

When leaving militar drug and weapons checkpoint on a moto, it is polite to ask the man with the machine gun if a wheelie is OK.

When he says "see", it is polite to ask if wheelie should be pico, medio, or grande.

The answer is always "grande!"

So, then it is polite to obey his opinion and hoike a grande wheelie out of the drug and weapons checkpoint.

Repeat as needed to maintain good relations with the mexican militar.


:D

:light: Especially the cooler with the blender on the top. A blender is good and I like my SUV but none of the 8 cup holders will hold a margarita glass. :(

You're right and if I drove a Humvee I'd drive right over them. :fire:
