For now we are just taking the Mex 1 straight to Cuarto Casas for 3 or 4 days and then to Coyote Cal's for a few more days. Been on dirt with the bike before, not through wash boards and silt though.
On Mex 1, is it a straight shot without dirt or is there a few areas? I am also really considering a solo run down there, is that a good idea if I am only going to Cuarto and Coyote's?
Also wondering about riding around the local areas after I arrive down there, hate these words, Sight Seeing, but I was wondering if that okay in these areas or am I just asking for trouble while I am on the Harley?
.... Oh yeah, I am also getting a XR650 soon, wish list at least, Harley should be good for now though.:lol:
Thank you for the help guys, can wait to do this trip!

2. Bring a large chain/cable and lock. Lock the bike to something solid and permanent.

3. Bring a tarp and take the bike into your room at night.

4. Wear a helmet.

PS: hopefully you don't have any of those loud obnoxious after market exhaust pipes.

You'll be fine, go have fun! Both places are cool and you will have a great time. Solo is a great way to travel, if you are comfortable with yourself.
I have been known to run with scissors, by the way.

You will have more fun at Cals, when I rode my DL1000 down, staying there was a large group of European travelers. There is a kitchen you can use or restaurants nearby, and you can go fishing close also.

The dirt road to Cuatro is one of the easiest and nicest dirt roads in Baja.
