Can,t open it But I,m guessing it,s very hot there

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Wow! I guess that "The Thrill of The Open Road" must seem like a myth to you... :shocked:
I think that I caught a case of claustrophobia just from WATCHING it! :yikes:

[beadaholic]

Yes it is pretty hot, but along with people, cars that drive nuts, cows, horses, donkeys, among other things it is a fun battle out there. haha, going now, being it is 6pm now, the heat has come down a bit....whew...

think I fixed the video now!

[Ex Winger]

Just watched it What a busy place.Went there last Xmas on for vacation Sorry but never again.Way to hot.I guess it,s what you get use to

[loisk]

thanks, I enjoyed watching it.Glad we're not the only ones with potholes on main roads, big enough to swallow a cow, let alone a spyder. Don't suppose you've run into my cousin Wayne/Ken ? Cheers from Oz

No more problems but I did notice something today, just got back, when I was going out of my gate here, it is on a incline, not real huge but not so small either. Well with the parking brake on, the Spyder moved a tad down the hill, I watched it, and was ready to jump on it if needed, I had thought I had seen this before, usually one of the guys opens the gate for me haha, but when it is Sunday it is just me all by myself, and I keep the thing locked, I don't need some strangers up here with me all by my lonesome.....is this normal, it seems it is not real super duper strong? Or what is the word for that, like my bike only has 2000 miles on it, so it is basically brand new, can it be I need brakes? I do not ride them either, at first I did a little bit, but I learned very fast not to do that! Thank to all of you guys! Thanks!

[Chupaca]

Como las calles de Lima...thanks for the tour, though a different country we have the same idiots, cows , donkeys with llamas and alpacas thrown in. Country and towns look the same..gracias...:2thumbs:

Probably just need to adjust the parking break.

I've been to places like that, but thanks for the reminder. Next time I'm complaining about a first-world problem, I'll think about this.

Thank you so much for the tour!
I have an English friend married to a Mexican lady who recently moved
from Cuernavaca to Playa del Carmen (I think that's the place...by the ocean!)

Bill is correct , you may need a slight adjustment in the parking brake and I know this poses a problem for you.....personally I can't assist in how you do this.......I did read on Spyderlovers awhile back it was explained but I can't remember the thread ( sorry ).....I would POST this specific Question......someone will chime in,....maybe there is a video ?????......Mike :thumbup:..............PS............How's the Pooch ?????

A little Google Earthing it turned up this.

She started out in San Mateo Ixtla and got on 95 west in the town of Norte. Went through San Gabriel Las Palmas and a right turn on 166 which is just before Amacuzac.

Google maps:

So this will give you an idea what it's like in that town. Loved the tour!

I am near Cuernavaca, Morelos, about 2000 miles or so into Mexico!

haha Nena (Girl) the pitbull is doing very good now. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=113872&stc=1 The snake weighed in at 5 lbs and we estimate it is about 10 years old, it was under my car (you see in the background) and the dog that is there is Bella (one of the other pitbulls) and we have Sol (he is Bellas son and only 7 months old). Poor Nena's head was 2 times it size, and today (2 days later) the swelling has went down completely almost, it bit her on top of her head next to her ear. Poor thing! I didn't go ride Sunday hardly because she was worried she wasn't going to be ok, and wouldn't leave me alone. hehe, that is OK She protected my home!

Ok, will see if I can find something out about the brake...being careful in the meantime!

Oooh!! Nasty Fer-de-Lance I think it has another name in Mexico.....the dog was indeed lucky.

Who killed the snake....the dog?? :yikes:

It is a vibora de cascabel here. No the dog did not kill it, she tried, and she is the most muscle massed dog I have, really is a fighter and hunter too. But no, this was too much for all 3 of them. So I called the guys, being I was here alone (Sunday) and they all came (3 of them) and asked for my 38 pistol but before I could get the pistol out there they had killed it with a heavy long pipe....whew....but poor Nena suffered the consequences. This is Nena, not the best picture of her, but she is a lovely sweet dog. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=113887&stc=1

[beadaholic]

Thats kool, your close to mexico city, im close to nothing,:banghead:

It is 2 hours to get there and I have yet to try it, sorta scary but it seems less scary on the motorcycle for some reason to me, in the car I think I would panic for some reason! Go figure?:ohyea:

[nslowmotion]

Here in carmen, with all of the speed bumps and cows in the road and just the general traffic and screwed up drivers, 2 hours could be just a few blocks away.:banghead:
