2 comments about La Ropa Sucia [Dirty Laundry]: A Motorcycle Adventure through Mexico.

1. I love riding and I love reading motorcycle adventure books. Unfortunately I was left wanting more after reading Dirty Laundry - as it's a fun little read about the travels of four friends through Mexico, but for me it felt like Riess was skipping over way too many of the juicy details of the ride - which just left me wanting more. So here I am on Amazon buying other motorcycle adventure books and writing a review. I do admire the adventuress spirit and courage required by Riess and Co. to take such a trip - "bravo"! Pictures are a fun addition. Easy, 1 hour read.



2. I have always had a secret liking for Harley-Davidsons. My brother used to own one and would let me ride with him every once in a while, and then there is always the bike run that stops at the Dairy Queen. I sit on my patio faithfully every year and listen to the thunder leave town.
   
   I received a book in the mail a few weeks ago from an old friend of mine about a trip he and his three friends had taken. A motorcycle trip (on none other then Harley-Davidson's) through Mexico. They say never judge a book by its cover, but I did and much to my surprise, it was an awesome book.
   
   Their adventure starts in Laredo, Texas and it literally takes you through Mexico without leaving your chair. The way the author writes it you feel as though you are along on the ride and you are seeing what they are seeing first hand. He talks about going through customs, Spanish speaking locals, banditos, road conditions - toll roads as opposed to back roads, and just plain fun fast riding. The pictures, maps, and informative information in the book complete the story. It is an easy and enjoyable read.
   
   They rode 3,000 miles in 9 days and they got a whole lot of great memories out of the trip.
   
   You hear the song " Born to be Wild" - and one of the verses goes like this, " Get your motor runnin'ead out on the highway lookin' for adventureand whatever comes our way," you truly get that feeling reading this book.
   
   The name of the book is La Ropa Sucia, by Owen L. Riess.
