Post a picture of your motorcycle? (revised title)

Here's me on my WR 400 Yamaha while on a 6 day ride through Copper Canyon.

I bought this one several years ago. It is a 1989 KDX200. It had less than 1000 miles on it, and it was served flawlessly ever since. I couldn't be happier.

My bike is...

Occasionally dirty...

But not a dirt bike.

looking for dirt

still looking for dirt bike (here's my street)

My first trip to Baja on a bike was 1994 on my 1981 R80 G/S
(just sold it ):



My next few trips were on a heavier beast, the R1100 GS:

A bit heavy in the sand





And then I got smarter:




And then a bigger tank:



Just so I could see Baja's best:

















And a few for VGABNDO:









And my favourite kind of road;

I took a long break from dirt bikes then went out to buy my 16th. motorcycle, and found that I didn't have legs long enough to ride a dirt bike. It took some custom suspension mods, but I have a 32" seat height on the "swiss-army-knife-of-dirtbikes" Suzuki DR 650 Very forgiving for a "vintage" scooter.

vgabndo, you could always just switch to a different model:

I us to have an Arial Square Four chopper back in the days hehe...

My son Jesse and his Kawasaki:

Sorry, I don't speak gearhead

I just hop on and it takes me fun places.

Hasn't been to BAJA yet. Maybe after I retire it from motocross!

My 1300 CC enduro (Yamaha FJR). Made it into and out of Punta Chivato.




This was a little more dirt worthy (BMW 1150GS), picture taken on the Cassiar Highway in British Columbia, on the way to the Arctic Circle.

I've posted this picture before.

A $200 Chinese pit bike that just keeps going and going:

HD dresser at BOLA

not my bike but i just had to sit in her. They were headed to Cabo i was headed to San Ignacio Lagoona.

I used to ride a Honda XR650, mostly up in the Sequoias. A lot of fun was had on that bike but today I prefer the ease of a good 4x4 quad.

Time to climb back on...?

For this long cross-country trip I choose a Kawasaki 750 Vulcan. I didn't want to stop for repairs.

I bet this knuckledragger and his brother go to biker bars with that comment sliding out with their drool....

Just because they like to get rammed with pool cues....

Baja bike

Here are my Baja bikes:

Honda XR 500


Suzuki DR 600


Honda XR 650L


My latest bike which has not yet got to experence the Baja, a KTM 950 Super Enduro

Many of you have had more numberplates than I could have dreamed of, but this wone was the pinnacle of my racing.
1969 Bonneville Speed Trials. APSC 250 as shown in the only picture I have of the bike. All my runs were with the bike "naked". This image from the background of a picture in the 1969 Hot Rod Magazine Annual. Ron Grant heads and barrels, and remote float carbs. Seized it twice at speed.
We had turned 107 in 12.47 at the drags so we were sure it was going to be easy on the salt.

Finally...downwind 121.621 and upwind within the hour 112.88 for a 117.252. Ten MPH over the record we wanted. 15 cu. in. stock engine, modified frame 250 Suzuki X-6 T-20 I guess I'm getting pretty nostalgic in my old age.

These are my 2 favorite Baja mounts. 1 for Speed and 1 for comfort. I'm working on a steel board mount like Oladulce's. My first PVC set broke.




A more creative application. The ding repair shop loves this set up.




This is Josh. In 2008, He traveled from Chicago to Guaymas to St Rosalia to San Diego on this scooter as a promotional trip. We met him in Abreojos and he camped with us for one hell of a fun week.

This is my runabout quad after some way above average Razors




Good Times Baja style!

Sorry guys, I had too much fun looking through old pics. This might be the last one.

We rode into this area through some huge dunes from some the backside. Didn't realize we were "in the zone".

Each arm of our moto racks slides in to a piece of square tubing that's mounted on the front and back gear racks. The upper part of the long extension arms will carry larger craft and fishing poles, and 1-2 shortboards will fit in the lower u-shaped portion (not recommended simultaneously).

The best feature of these racks is that you can take them off in an instant so the quads don't take up so much garage space and you can remove them if you're just going for a ride or to town.

Extra garage space may have been BigWooo's original design idea, but although I do fine when riding with boards on the racks, when the racks are empty I tend to forget how wide I am and whack alot of shrubs and cactus. The chewed up red foam is an indicator of my poor peripheral perception- so my nice esposo removes the racks from my moto frequently.

That 500 handled better on sand then any other bike I owned. Not a big deal up here in Canada but it was quite a plus on the Baja.
