Adios Mexico! (Or will it be just Hasta Pronto?)

We cross over in the afternoon after getting lost in Tijuana and then swept up in the queues of traffic. Several street (or mid-lane) vendors selling the most incredible pieces of tat (why on earth would you want to buy a large Grecian urn or a horrendously ugly mirror with the virgin Mary painted on it while in a queue of traffic bound for the US is beyond me), nearly lose their lives or at least the merchandise as we lane split all the way to the front of the line. It's a bit of a shambles as there is no where that we can check out of Mexico and the US guys have no idea about bringing a vehicle into the US.
We've lined up a place to stay with Cameron and Jessica, a lovely couple who are, of course, into motorbikes. So San Diego here we come.

Can you tell which sprocket is the old one?

Cameron rides a BMW GS1200 and Jessica is on a Yamaha XT350, so both prove to be very helpful when it comes to finding people and parts to fix the bikes. Mike hits the BMW shop and gets a rather rude shock to find his steering head bearings and rear shaft drive bearings and seals aren't in great shape. This is added to having also blown his fork seals and requiring bits and pieces for the GPS. I'm up for a new clutch, and of course a new chain and sprockets, yet again. 5 days later we're well fed washed and repaired.

Saying our goodbyes to Cameron and Jessica

And for future reference, if anyone needs to cancel their temporary vehicle import for Mexico, the easiest way to find the office in Tijuana is to leave Mexico, then turn around and go back in and follow the signs for the aduana office. Conveniently located for when you arrive rather than your departure in Mexico. This will save you $300+ they charge for not cancelling your vehicle import document correctly. I figure this is a last ditch effort by latin America to try and scam more money out of me, but once again I'm not letting them get away with it.
