Zack and Ari pounded those bikes...i was amazed at the reliability and the durability!

Nice find! I've had one opportunity to ride through Baja. Only spent 3 nights there, should have planned for a week, but I was on a long trip home. Good memories!

I rode north from Puerto Vallarta and crossed over to Baja on a ferry:

Camped out a few nights along the Sea of Cortez

I need to get back there some day.

Great pics pdedse. Looks like a beautiful place to be.

Oddly, I DVRed the entire Throttle Out series a few months ago and only got around to watching the Baja episode on Sunday. Fun stuff

Entertaining flick LR.

Wonderful snaps pdedse - brings back many memories when I sailed the Sea of Cortez and we anchored in remote desert islands. Sunsets were glorious, and sea life vibrant and tasty. The night sky was so clear and quiet. With the marine radio tuned to San Diego, we were able time and see the ISS fly overhead. I even saw an UFO.

While moving along the inside peninsula coast from La Paz north, on a few occassions I wondered how nice it would be to ride the desert on motorcycle. I know the roads suck for cars (possibly even for a Monkey when not paying attention), but it must have been a hoot for the ADV bike.

Fun to watch

Typical Honda's beat em, beat em, beat em some more, and with a modicum of care they start every time

One point in 62 Ekins and Robertson were riding CL 72's which were 250cc bikes not 175's
