Made it to Durango the next day where I met up with 2 Aussies, Ken and Carol, who I’d first met in Creel. They’d found a great old hotel right in the center of town, off a pedestrian mall next to the main plaza. The plaza is all lit up with christmas lights and with food vendors and others around, it’s quite a party atmosphere.
The hotel lets us park the bikes in the lobby…
I was overdue for an oil change so the next day I found the Autozone, but they had no bike-specific oils, so then searched out the Honda shop. I ended up with Honda 20w-50 synthetic blend. Should do the job! It had been 5200 miles since my last change, but I’m thinking since it was Mobil-1 racing blah blah, it should be OK to stretch the interval a bit, especially since it had seen very little stop/go traffic. PLUS, I’d topped it up with about 200cc of fresh oil in that period 
Yesterday I took on “The Devil’s Backbone” from Durango to Mazatlan. Great road, but a bit more traffic than Mex 16. You have to allow for trucks coming the other way and cutting corners. It might not look like it in the vid (my view is a bit different to the camera’s) but I’m taking pretty conservative lines when I can’t see what’s coming the other way i.e. peel in a bit early, and don’t run it wide coming out until you can see there’s nobody in your lane…
