I did not know JZ was sacred to you.
What else do you hold sacred?


No, But spin it anyway you like. I'm talking about your personal attacks directed at the folks on this board that you have disagreements with.




wow usually Dan only comes out when DK is taking a well deserved beating! Riddle me this Dan you've been supportive of mr.Z for his pretty pictures then you post this: "While I disagree with your political views, and certainly don't like the nicnames you give to certain posters. I do enjoy reading the RR's you've posted in the past.
No one and I mean no one should be threating anyone on the board whether its public or private in a U2U, and I hpoe you've reported it and that member is banned."
sorry buddy but you can't have it both ways;)


Whats your point? Trying to be civil to someone you disgree with isn't part of your demeanor?
I'm guessing you missed Ged's lastest post since Doug deleted it.

Yes I enjoy the pics and reading all posts related to Baja, and even the non-Baja reports as well, Even those from posters I don't entirely agree with for whatever reason.
Thanks for the input.

well my point is if you want him banned like you say.....there goes the "pretty pictures" whats so hard to understand:?:


Pretty pics? More like dog-weirdo pictures. At least they aren't cat pics!

Um I think you may misunderstand, That post was in response to a certain poster named fishbuck who was physically threating the poster I responded to, or at lkeast that was my intent, If I made a mistake quoting someone then I sincerely apologise.

Boy....this sure got weird....

I responded to JZ's offer to teach history and security measures in China as his dozen or so trips apparently has made him an expert in those realms as well as the usual ones.

I pointed out that other Nomads have clearly stated that his political posts were misleading, biased, and/or patently false.... and generally of little value rather to rally the fan club and stir a pot of rebuttal.

That seemed to elicit some criticism of me.....which is not difficult to handle, thank you.

Interesting how Fishbuck was resurrected by intent or brain fog, or something like that.

I wonder what Fishy is up to these days.

Fishbuck seems to be fine, not worried about Nomad ban, hoping to be flying in Baja soon. I see him on Facebook.

Whatever...
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

I mostly ride Baja leaving the truck on the US side, I usually stop for one or two Pacifico's during the day on the way down.
The few times I've driven down in my truck I'm white knuckling so bad I don't even drink water till I stop for a break.

Hi Dan: From the name I assume you now or previously had a BMW motorbike. Being interested in all things BMW could I ask which one?

Secondly: Is there a thread on this site that deals with interesting not so off road trips by bikers up and down the Baja specifically with maybe pics of interesting towns, villages or other spots? Or perhaps another site altogether ?

Hi, Yes I have an old R100GS that I've ridden several times in Baja, Canada, AK...Great bike but too heavy for more than well maintained dirt roads nowdays. I then started riding and old Kawi Super Sherpa 250 in Baja. I finally wore that bike out and bought a Honda CRF250 Rally that just seems to fit me and my slow riding style.
As far as riding Baja since I'm mostly alone I stay on the main tracks.
Best bets for all the info here are Motoged, DK MjS JZ and Harald to name a few. On ADVRider there's plenty of Baja tracks and ride reports to checkout.

Hey JD, start a fresh thread on this topic.

We will give you a ton of good ideas to choose from. Just give us some specifics of what you are looking to do.

Next thing you know you'll have suggestions, maps, photos, and videos, etc., galore.

Skipjack isn't much of a "drinker" at all. I don't think he was promoting that it is okay to drive while drinking (while some good ol' boys here still think it's a ritual for driving in Baja).

Rather, he appreciates the minimal restrictions to be enjoyed in rural and small towns in Baja....although some of them are disappearing (eg. more locked gates).

There are some Nomads more deserving of some stinkeye.

I've never read a post by caj13 that isn't full of bile and anger. That's just his way. I pay him no mind. Everyone is different. The people who angry people hurt the most are themselves. It's not a healthy way to live. Life is too short to waste.

I guess you havent read alot of my posts skipjack, but you do have one thing right, I am full of anger and Bile at ANYONE who thinks in any way it is OK to Drive drunk.

Once again - it's not your personal freedom - and you know that very well! Talk like that is from clowns trying to justify their dangerous behavior.

you want to take you life into you own hands - i'm all for it - go skydiving, scuba dive cenotes, fly hnggliders, whatever.

But don't be the marooon who endangers other poeples lives because they think they need to get liquored up to enjoy driving. I repeat - its not your right - deal with it!

Well said, Mr. Skipjack. Anger corrodes the soul of not only those who are angry, but all of those around them.

For the record, there is considerable difference between drinking and driving (which used to be legal in states such as Texas) and drunk driving. The distinction is worthy of being noted.

I love how so many of you Nomads twist and turn doing mental gymnastics looking for a way to justify drunk Driving!

attack the messenger - check
wordsmith it away - Check
Deflect - Check
Justify - Check
False equivalency - Check

One more time: It's not your personal right - get over it!

I think MADD and others have done a great job reducing the senseless deaths from Drunk Driving. The stats I am seeing is the number one cause of traffic deaths is now distracted driving, mainly caused by people who are overly tied to their cellphones. I'm losing track of how many times I have had someone turn left right in front of me, or push me out of my lane on the highway because they just had to pick up that incoming call.

Some people on this forum have heard the saying “8 hours from bottle to throttle”.and know where that applies.
How many have stopped for lunch or a break while driving and had a beer or two. Does this mean they are driving drunk?
Fortunately the US has set a standard for deciding when you are driving drunk. Most states it is .08 with a breathalyzer or blood test.
Laws vary from country to country. Open container while driving in the US is illegal in most states. What is the law in Baja?
If you see someone driving in Baja with a beer do you think they must be drunk? Maybe a bit of a stretch with that assumption.
