Taking on the Baja on a KLR - Epic Video
Canada to Panama - Taking on Baja
Spent 9 months traveling solo from Calgary Canada to the end of the highway in Panama and back!! Covered 40,000km (24000 miles), the same length as
the entire span of the equator!
This is a video I made of what turned out to be one of the most challenging stretches of the trip. The Baja 1000!
Got down to Baja a week before the race was held so I shared the backroads with contestants practicing the route who can be seen roaring past me in
the video. WARNING: Man butt ENJOY!!!

Always thought someone had to be a little nuts to do that ride. This video proves it. Very well done and entertaining. Thanks for posting.

There is no way I could do that! I mean the dance moves, the ride makes me wish I still had a motorcycle.
That was fun to watch, good job!

You got the moves and the bike. KLR was built for Baja. My 1990 BMW K75 will never see Baja, and I'll NEVER EVER sell it. You're the man!

Great stuff! I'm a fellow KLRista with over 150k miles on my much rebuilt and modified '91. Many of those miles in Baja.

Lot's of familiar terrain in the vid, it doesn't matter what you ride as long as you ride it. Enjoyed the vid.
