Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, March 2002

In March, motorcycle pizza delivery is a novelty to a Canadian!

Pizza delivery bike of choice seems to be the Honda CG125 in Puerto Vallarta.

The CG125 is used by several pizza places... movie to go with that?

Note that "Bimbo" does not refer to the truckdriver's girlfriend...
It's his bakery employer!
The logo? Imagine a renegade polar Care Bear hiding out in Mexico...

When's the last time you saw a ribbed front street tire in use?

Helmet and safety gear seem to be optional.

Not all workbikes deliver pizza in Puerto Vallarta.

Here's a closer look at the motor. SYM of Italy now seems to concentrate on scooters.

A garage near the airport had these beauties parked out front...
Spiffy-looking Suzuki AX115 in front, unidentified Yamaha behind.

Bonus points for identifying this one... There's a hint in the photo below...

The Carabela factory in Mexico City started making bikes around 1960.

The most popular private bike, however, seems to be the RXZ100 Yamaha.
Just imagine an RD400 with only one cyclinder of half the usual displacement.
Note the solo seat which leaves room for a larger luggage rack.
Apparently, this model is available in Singapore too.

This beautiful RX Special (another 100cc 2-stroke variation) was spotted in a mall parking lot.

Other familiar bikes can be seen on the streets of Puerto Vallarta,
but you should probably go check them out yourself.
The Pacific's warm enough to swim in, and
traffic's not bad if you're used to Montreal.
