El Tapatio Fly & Ride Tour a Winner
It started out as a custom ride for a few friends but there is no question now that the El Tapatio will be a fixture in our Mexico road tour line up. With safety concerns in certain places along the Texas-Mexico border (see Mexico Security Concerns) we have found a means of getting beyond any questionable border areas to the heart of Mexico's most diverse, secure and colorful riding regions. Even MotoDiscovery staff, Alberto Clave and Juan Stanglmaier proclaimed on recent completion of our first Tapatio Tour that this is the "real Mexico" that everyone should experience. With BMW rentals at our disposal, this is a turnkey riding vacation, readily accessible, and of great value. Contact us if you have questions and refer to this link for more information.

We can easily be considered experts when it comes to Mexico travel. It is for this reason we feel compelled to respond to the question of security in light of narco cartel activities in certain regions. We have to make clear that Mexico remains selectively part of the MotoDiscovery tour program however we have made decisions to refrain from traveling in distinct areas we feel are troublesome. Go to this link and become familiar with where travel is acceptable in our judgment, and where it is not.

Bhutan Continues to Mystify
It is a remote kingdom in the shadows of the Himalayas, has regulated access to preserve its valued Buddhist traditions and measures its wealth in terms of gross national happiness rather than gross national product.
Tourism to Bhutan for 2010 was a meager 40,873 visitors in 2010. (To give you perspective, Mexico received nearly 20 million tourists in 2010.)
The two week MotoDiscovery Thunder Dragon Tour is an experience that continues to bring us acclaim and mystify those who participate, largely due to its relative anonymity. Sign up early as this requires advance planning. We are taking reservations now for the Oct 05 - 18 date.
