I`m a 30 year-old English teacher from Mexico City living in Guadalajara.  I teach basic English to upper intermediate at the University of Guadalajara.  I got into the two-wheel thing when I was a kid, probably around age 9, and I got a scooter for X-mas.  I sold the scooter 4 years later and for one reason or another I didnt get back on a bike untill December 2007 when I got a V Star 650. That same day I took it on a test run to the pyramids in Teotihuacan (bought it in Mexico City).  Two days later I was on my way home to Guadalajara some 340 miles off.  I haven`t gotten off the vstar since!  It`s already showing over 22,000miles.  I just can`t seem to stay in town for more than a couple of weeks.  I take day trips twice a month and weekend trips once a month.  As a teacher I get more than a few long weekends a year and breaks in the Spring, Summer and Winter  and I make sure go somewhere farther thatn my usual.  I ride everyday whatever the weather is like.
