Mexico on 4 550's... from Southern Alabama
« on: November 19, 2008, 12:03:43 AM »
Just had to tell you guys that I conned 3 of my buddies into taking a ride with me to Mexico from Southeastn Alabama...

I'd bought a 500 dollar 550 and really liked it so I got a parts bike...which was better then the original... then I acquired another parts bike for the two... and Yep it was better again then the first two.... when I got the 4th... it was finally worse... but it ran all the same... next thing you know we are schemming to ride all four of them somewhere...and Mexico seemed to be the place of choice...

Took us 10 days total... riding 200-300 miles a day... with a total trip milage of 2240 miles...  all the bikes made it... however I lost the motor in #4 on the last day...

Fun stuff...
