I'm sorry we missed you. KurtG stopped in as we were packing to leave. When his big thumper arrived at the gate, I thought it was you!!
I only got to see Wild Rice once this trip, we circled around each other a couple of times out at the island trying to get on some Yellows.
We 4x4'd over to San Sebastian to visit, but that was the day he had gone to Loreto to pick up his company.
Perhaps another time amigo, the Bienvenidos Mat is out..

I posted an apology for two errors in my original post on this thread. (The one with the picture of the yellow Rokon) I had been called names for
making a mistake about the number of gears in a transmission. The moderator immediately moved the post to off-topic. If you are interested, you can
find the information in that forum under "RUNdo the dirtbiker", and "An apology to Nomad Dirtbikers" The password is over18.

Mood: After 34 years. Still in love w/ my wife
|

I brought a vintage Honda CB125 and found it wasn't worth a hoot for arroya's. Took it back and next year brought down a CL 175 Honda. That was
great for what I wanted to ride. Discovered many adventures while riding it in the Loreto/Juncalito area. One trip especially I'll never forget was
up to the "Ponds" south of Puerto Escondido. My riding has always been sane & safe. Though there was a part of me that wanted to be "on the wild
side". But my bones break easily, and with much experience in the past, sane safe was more fun for me. At one time had five Vintage Honda's.
Including a very hard to find Trail 125 only made in l977. I believe it was called the CT125 Only had 9?? miles on it when I found it.
Viva la motorcycles!!!!
Bruce. Before buying a bike, I'd suggested getting a bone density check to see if you can fall off & walk away without any broken bones. My
brother crashed down here on his CL175, and pulled all his quadricep tendens out of his knee cap. Laid up for 30 days after the operation in Oregon.
Full recovery after six months. Was he lucky!!!!! He was 72 at the time of accident. On his way back from a ride to San Javier with a friend.

I have an XR650 (dual registration) with the baja designs kit. I injured my back whith less than 10 hours on the bike. I don't want to, but think
i'll end up selling it and get a buggy. I just love baja and have been going down there for all of my life. I'm a dual citizen and have given some
thought to buying property as well. Good luck with the riding!!!

GREAT MOTORCYCLE QUOTES AND WISDOM
Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 110 mph!
You start the game of life with a full pot o' luck and an empty pot o' experience... The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the
pot of luck.
If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.
Midnight bugs taste best.
Saddlebags can never hold everything you want, but they CAN hold everything you need.
Never try to race an old geezer, he may have one more gear than you.
It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed.
The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rearview mirror.
Never be afraid to slow down.
Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep through the sunrise.
Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.
Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees you'll ride alone.
Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at the edge of town.
Never do less than fifty miles before breakfast.
If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.
A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived.
Young riders pick a destination and go... Old riders pick a direction and go.
A good mechanic will let you watch without charging you for it.
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to stop for the night.
Always back your bike into the curb, and sit where you can see it.
Work to ride & ride to work.
Whatever it is, it's better in the wind.
Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway - it's an attitude.
When you look down the road, it seems to never end - but you better believe it does.
Winter is Nature's way of telling you to polish. (unless you live in Southern California)
Keep your bike in good repair: Motorcycle boots are NOT comfortable for walking. ( For Harley Riders)
People are like Motorcycles: each is customized a bit differently.
Sometimes, the best communication happens when you're on separate bikes.
Good coffee should be indistinguishable from 50 weight motor oil.
The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.
The twisties - not the superslabs -separate the riders from the squids.
When you're riding lead, don't spit.
A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 am to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.
Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph can double your vocabulary.
If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every tavern.
There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer. ( Amen)
Don't lead the pack if you don't know where you're going.
Practice wrenching on your own bike.
Everyone crashes. Some get back on. Some don't. Some can't.
Don't argue with an 18-wheeler.
Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.
A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.
If you can't get it going with bungee cords and electrician's tape, it's serious. ( Mr Bungee lives in Ohio)
If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.
Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.
Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck.
There are drunk riders. There are old riders. There are NO old, drunk riders.
Thin leather looks good in the bar, but it won't save your butt from "road rash" if you go down.
The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside.
Always replace the cheapest parts first.
You can forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.
Patience is the ability to keep your motor idling.
Only a Biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
Keep the paint up, and the rubber down!
There are two types of people in this world, people who ride motorcycles and people who wish they could ride motorcycles.
Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.
"It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end."
Ride as if your life depended on it !!

Great stuff! I agree with most of it.
I'd like to add to this one -
"Practice wrenching on your own bike." ...with the tools you ride with.
