Or you could give me your phone number and I will buy the bike from you for the price of a ticket back to your home.
I up the ante to $100 plus the price of a ticket back to your home..

There is/was a BMW motorcycle dealer in Cabo San Lucas on the road to Todos Santos -- They may have almalgamated with the Yamaha Dealer.

In my years of travel in Baja I have learned that every day is an adventure we learn to accept and appreciate and at times remember with with a good
degree of nostalgia,,
I like your attitude keep up the good spirits.. Good luck and hope you get yourself and bike home safely

I believe this precisely. I'm not worried... if there were a better way to spend time solving this little problem I don't know what it would be. I'm
with friends, enjoying the last week of my adventure in La Paz and making new friends here. I appreciate the connection and everyone's kindness.

I hear the throw out bearing suggested repeatedly as the problem, by those who've looked at it and folks who work on beemers. I've also posted on
adventure rider and been told that the Cabo BMW shop has relocated. All in all, a trailer is the preferred route now, plus a plane ride home next
weekend.

Will do. I'm still seeking a trailer ride north for the bike this week sometime, destination San Diego or SF bay area, or Tijuana/Tecate failing all
else. Please respond if anyone knows of an option for this.

Just wanted to follow up that I'm safely back home in the SF bay area. I'm a new convert to baja, its quiet beauty, open spaces, and kind people --
both expat and locals. This community is a cornerstone of that ambiance.
I'm lurking on the boards here, and may be among the expat crowd in the future. Its become my retirement dream!
Thank you all for your help. BTW, my bike is still on extended vacation in Loreto, and I've started a new thread here seeking its transport.
con más profundo agradecimiento 
Kendall
