Great. When I was 19 years old in 1970 I rode from Denver to Chicago straight 20 hours. Same same. It’s great to be young… Oh yeah that was a BMW R 60 🫵🏻🌟👍❤️
At the border crossings into the USA, it is an common practice to split, or filter between lanes so you don't need to swelter in the unbearable heat...
The thing is that you always need to check the latest information available. It was very dangerous in Nuevo Laredo in April 2022, when some cartel leader was arrested in military operation. I crossed in June 2022, and it was fine. Maybe right now it is not recommended, maybe it is okay, I have no idea, check news and watch latest videos on this topic. In general, NV is dangerous town, if you cross it, you must do it during the day light, ideally in the morning. The best would be to take Bridge 2 and go around the city, then enter only toll highway 85, don't take the free road, it is also dangerous. Let me know if you have more questions!
Nice! Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions! Also, I have a video about how to prepare for a long motorcycle trips, where you might find some good tips.
