For those who were recently representing Utah in Baja (Frog, Commander, Dumbgirl, Fano, et al)...

You may not have had time to fully enjoy Puertocitos. This is a full service community with everything you have come to expect in the US as you can see here...

If you look closely, the left building is the Post Office. The middle building is the Library. The right building is apparently for expansion...of what we do not yet know. The sign on the library invites you to a quilting meeting.

So, next time, slow down, check out a book, enjoy the sun & the sea...

Not a great pic. The Xr is mostly stock & clean with new plastics & a Yoshimura exhaust. The previous owner said it
had a carb butterfly mod which I have never heard of, if I remember correctly? I traded my old school Ducati for it plus some
change my way (I was broke). Also, it came with some goodies like the Acerbis tank. I should have kept the precious bevel Ducati
but after I went for the Multistrada I knew the 900GTS would just sit

If you really like to ride whoops Baja has a great selection to choose from. Number one set is the "powerline whoops" that go from the north end of El Diablo to San Felipe under the powerlines. 20 miles of deep sand whoops that vary between 2 to 4 feet deep and most have sharp rocks in the bottom. Just wonderful.North of SF are the truck whoops that parallel the coast for a long ways. The trophy trucks make them so long they are very difficult to ride on a bike. SW of San Ignacio once you hit the coast and turn South toward Datil there is a impressive set of sand whoopers that has sharp gullies across it if you do get up to speed. There will be lots of silt beds if you ride any of this years race course. Another little tidbit for you to think about. Used to stop for a quick soak in the Puertocitos hot pools that are beautiful and are right on the water. Pulled in there one time and two "happy" guys were doing there thing in the middle of the pool. Put a whole new perspective on swimming in those pools. Sweet dreams Mung

I'm tired of changing tires out in the boonies and I've got backups for anybodys crf and xr that will be with me in the Jeep. Both our tire sets are beat up after riding with you! Iv'e got loose and broken spokes, dings, bends, wobbles, scratches and chips mostly from projectiles from your bike tire and doing crazy shit just to keep sight of your bike! I'm going to take the rims off and take a looksy, do repairs and probably swap them out. He asks his friend for rims and all he gets is a long story and chicken he can't even eat. Doesn't Michaelangelo have a front XRR setup for 135?

Yesterday my son talked me into a Harcus, Infidel, Trackhead, GISkev day where I actually took the afternoon off.

I know, alert the media.

Anyway, we took the snowmobiles up to Guardmans Pass to try them out.
I was surprised, we were the only sleds up there. Fresh powder on top of packed base.
Couldn't get stuck if I wanted to.

No tracks at all.

There was one bad spot just after the summit heading toward Midway.
Had to hang off the side to keep it from rolling. On the way back my Son
lost the battle and it rolled once. He was off the road pointing downhill
into that steep bowl at the summit. Decided going down was the only
choice. So we worked it through the trees. I had to walk/crawl back up
the hill to my sled. I'm too old for this shit.

Hard to tell how steep...

Beautiful afternoon. Great conditions. Still not my favorite thing to
do, but it beat pushing a pencil for the day.

You'll get stuck. Bring a big shovel and a good back, because those fuckers don't get fun until the track augers to the ground and you have to dig 'em out.
