hostel

there is no road for 10 miles, or house or anything..not sure how this dude got here.

a church in the middle of nowhere that was soon turned into a fireworks show. Sorry God.

Pastor Arto

Kai, the bike ninja..he wore this for 13 days. No joke.

Epicly Patrick

Heath

On a steel horse I ride.

Mexican gas station.

San Ignacio

Muleje. This place got wrecked by a hurricane.

Post card #1

water is warm, the booze is cold, and im 120 miles from my first shower in 5 days

La Paz. No Starbucks, but a Burger King with fries!!!

This is El Diablo...i thought coming from LA was gnar, this dude rode from Vancouver with Kai

El Pescadero skate park. Not so skateable

This is the literal end of Baja. The rocks in the background are it. Siked to make it.

You wanna wipe...you gotta pay for it.

Heaths ride.

This bike was the leader of the pack...where it went, we followed.


Im no Ansel Adams, so forgive the bad photos. All in all, best motorcycle trip ever. Lots of fun, lots of miles, and most importantly my Sweet Butter made the whole trip without any problems. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who rides. Once you get past Tijuana, the sketch is over and the fun begins. No problems whatsoever with any borders or any locals. If anything, they were siked to see us. Most of them wanted to take pictures of themselves on the bikes which was pretty epic.

Things to bring to Mexico if you go:
1. Starbucks via...you've seen the advertisement....believe the hype..shit works, and Mexican coffee is made with THEIR water which is no bueno.
2. Mosquito repellent. Fuckers are gnar.
3. Warm clothes...just cuz its Mexico, don't mean its warm. Like most women, the farther south you go, the warmer it gets...so head to the bottom pronto.
4. Stickers....they love stickers.
5. Someone who speaks Spanish...this is pretty key.
6. Purell
