Elton - if I wasn't going home to Atlanta for the holidays I'd be riding with you down Baja...
Ride safe,

That will be great Yair. Let's plan it.
Hei Jim, let's ride somewhere someday (but for sure, not that kind of 'someday') OK?
Marc, to go way down to Los Cabos, we are talking about 5 days of riding.
The only 'way out of the route' I can see is going to Baia de Los Angeles (about 1/2 day additional).
I can start planing the details once I have people confirming how many days they can stay on the trip.

Elton - might be able to count me in. Here is my dilema:
I need to catch a flight out of LAX to Atlanta on 12/29 early morning.
The days I could ride to Baja would be:
Leave Los Angeles on Wednesday 12/24 as early as we can all get up out of bed.
Need to be back in my place in Los Angeles by Sunday 12/28 around 5pm.
This is a real tight schedule for a Mexico ride that far down the peninsula. Anyhow, that's my schedule. If it works for you and everyone else I'd probably be able to come along. Maybe I'll tag along for a couple to three days and then head back home on my own.
I'll keep checking your thread for schedule updates. If it works out, great. If it doesn't I'll have to catch you on the next one. I've got a feeling you do a few of these...
Thanks,
Marc

Marc,
lets plan this.
I don't need to go to Cabo. We can go to La Paz and that will cut enough time for the trip to be on your time frame.
I'm leaving today to Brazil. When I'm back we can plan this in details if is OK for you.

Elton:
Missed you buddy. We always enjoy riding with you. Are you still riding the GS or the LT? Vickie is draging to me to New York City from 12/17/to 12/21. Let me know the details when you get them worked out and we'll doing everything to try and make it work.

Elton there has been a lot of BAD STUFF going on down in Baja in the last few months. Kidnaping,killings,car jacking and allot of drug gang activity. You might want to rethink your trip or at least be very Carful. Jim

I rode to BMW Mexico Rally in Guadalajara in October.
I did not see any criminal activity.
We only rode during day time.
I would recommend that you take GS instead of LT to Mexico. Every time I went over the speed bumps my LT's bottom touched the speed bump where the guys on GSs were having fun getting wheelies over the speed bumps.
