MotoUSA takes the motley crew to Baja to tackle the legendary Baja route with some of our racing idols. Read about the adventure in our
Legends of Baja
Feature.
The mariachis are always willing to swap their musical instruments for a chance to sit on your motorcycle.
Making friends with the Federales is always a good thing to do when in Baja.
Once we arrived at Mike's Sky Ranch, it was time for a little bench racing. And what's bench racing without a little liquid courage to get the ball rolling.
The gas station delivers fuel a bit differently is this area.
Some homecooking to fill up on before the next challenge.
MotoUSA's motley crew - Greg, Ken, Kevin, Joe & Don & our guides - Bill, Donny & Danny.
When taken in small doses you can be misled into feeling that a Baja ride is not very challenging. Ride it for extended time periods or at high speeds like racing, and things start to get grueling.
MotoUSA's Joe Wallace shows off his mad flat-track skills aboard the durable DR650.
One of our loaner Kawasakis suffered some damage to the handlebars during our adventure, but we put together a makeshift fix so we could finish the ride.
The obligatory photo in front of Mike's Sky Rancho.
Baja's coastline is absolutely spectacular with miles of roads and easily accessbile beaches.
Sure they have paved roads in Baja, but they are usually just a means to end and we couldn't wait to get off-road instead.
Small, family run restaurants speckle the roadside throught Baja.
Five-star restaurants are easy to find in Ensenada. Not so easy on the rest of the peninsula.
The road heading out the back of Mike's is rocky and rutted and a lot more fun when riding a smaller and lighter bike. It also provides spectacular views of the valley.
Racing with your buddy and showing off with a few wheelies is always fun.
We took a diverse collection of dual sport machines on our Baja journey to put them all to the test.
MotoUSA's Joe Wallace tests the handling characteristics of the Suzuki DR650.
MotoUSA has a little piece of history hung here from when our crew competed in the Baja 1000.
MotoUSA's Don, Ken & Greg take a pause for the obligatory photo.
Ken's helping this guy hold down the bench.
The F800GS needed more momentum to carry it up the hill to exit the beach.
Hey Ken....take that!
Our journey wasn't without heart stopping moments like this one where we came face-to-face with these armed Federales. Hutch doesn't look like he's sure of their intentions.
MotoUSA's Greg gets suckered into jumping into the pool. Too bad for him, it was mas frio!
