    Hey guys, I just picked up this Dakar and I have the month on January to explore Baja. Anyone interested in meeting or joining me? I will be leaving from San Francisco on the 1st or 2nd and plan to stay the entire month. I have no problems going solo but thought Id ask.

    PS I have searched posts regarding baja and other people going down there but it looks like the dates dont line up.

    dozer- Judging by your previous ride report I am sure we would have a blast down there.

    lex- How much time do you have for your trip?

    I am leaving San Francisco on the first and I will be taking my time as I have a month. So maybe we can meet up in the northern area of Baja. Do you have any idea on how to coordinate once in Baja?

    I am getting my bike serviced in San Diego on the 12 or 13th and then heading south. I am shooting for Cabo on the 22nd. This is my first Mexico trip and having people to ride with off and on would be a plus. Storing the bike in Cabo for two weeks and then come back to it for a month off. If I can get shipping out of CR figured out I will go there. If not maybe a Guatemala/Belize loop

    Thx
