Engine note and dust: the convoy peels away from Guanajuato’s narrow streets and climbs into volcanic hills where the wind pushes you around hairpin turns and the terrain dares you to keep pace. You’ll feel the machines respond underfoot as the city shrinks into tile roofs and the highway’s order gives way to rocky tracks, arroyos and the echo of old mining terraces.
