I'll concur with Life in Sepia, I had an absolutely fantastic time. Just the right amount of planning, not too tightly scheduled, did not feel like work.
Thanks, again, to George...who refused to take any money for his tweaking, wrenching and advice. He said, "keep it, you'll need it it Baja"
It was a pleasure riding with Mike, he took us on a route that I'd never be able to have orchestrated. I really enjoyed being in very lightly traveled places. Places where the village residents are full of waves, smiles (& requests for wheelies). I had brought some stickers, moto branded pencils to pass out, but they fell off out of my broken zippered bag, hopefully some kids will find em.
Stellar scenery, a few difficult sections, but just the right amount of challenge for my lame skills.
I originally feared riding at night, and still do, but was able to relish the the more desolate, challenging side of night riding. Of course, I took it pretty damn slow, due to cows, burros, & potential unseen changes in the road....lots of these. Sorry to hold the group up at times.
I'll send my photos to xymotic so he can pick & choose for the ride report.
I'll also do an ride equipment/review post: quick note; Vibranators saved my hands, at least 20-40% reduction in vibes on my 510. Highly recommended. No not as smooth as a drz400, but my hands are not numb after a week of riding. They used to be toast after an hour.
As good as the riding & scenery was, the true "gold" of the trip was meeting & spending time with everyone: Gary, John, PJ, Aaron, Mike, Ed, Clayton...and my friend Zack the driver & provider of grand, if not G rated, comedy.
"It's all good"
