Over the years, I've had the honor of guiding overseas moto adventure tours with GlobeRiders, and as a solo bike and sidecar participant with GlobeRiders, MotoDiscovery and Edelweiss on five continents.
All are excellent international tour operators, but only GlobeRiders and MotoDiscovery ship motorcycles and sidecars, and after a hugely successful tour with a mixed pack of both URAL and BMW sidecars and a variety of adventure bikes, MotoDiscovery has stepped up to the plate and has announced a 10-day adventure tour in Mexico for 2023, to include the fabulous descent into Barrancas del Cobre (the Copper Canyon).
Both solo bikes and sidecars are welcome to join. I did the Barrancas del Cobre with MotoDiscovery years ago on my 2005 URAL Gear Up, and look forward to doing it again, with a longer itinerary, on an LBS GS+URAL adventure touring sidecar I built myself.
MotoDiscovery recently opened the tour for applications. As far as I know, we have at least three sidecars on the tour so far. Hope some of you join us!

I get itchy fingers from just reading this.
In 2013 I ran into a group of Globeriders in Alaska. That is real luxury with service truck , mechanics and hotel preparation. Just "a bit" too fast for my taste on the Ural. In January I have to return to Mexico for an installation, .... There fit much more tools into the tub then into the suitcase... Tempting, tempting, itchy itchy...

PS: all good, as long nobody gets again to the idea to blame diarea to coconut milk, because the pipas(coconuts) were "still green"!
