Wow. Looks like an awesome trip this year. No injuries, minimal mechanical issues, great riding, great stories, and terrific photos. Also can't wait for Dima's drone shots. Turns out I was right behind you guys on the way back. I crossed the border on Feb 3rd and I think you guys crossed that morning? Wish I was with you all for the trip, but we did visit some of the same places/restaurants - El Rosario/Mama's (of course); Requeson/Playa Buenaventura; San Ignacio/La Huerta. Didn't stop in Mulege this year.
I did ok down there myself. Put about 500 miles on the Red Snapper, including a big loop from La Ventana to Los Barriles to Cabo Pulmo and back. The XR ran great, with only one flat tire (pinch flat, had the pressure too low), though I made sure to stay away from any stream crossings. My son's bike didn't fare as well. He burned out the clutch during a (different) ride through some deep sand. Fortunately a friend was flying down to visit, so I ordered a new clutch kit through Rocky Mountain and had it delivered to my friend. He brought it down and I had just enough of the right tools to replace it.
HF trailer didn't fair so well. Stress fractures on both sides that I had to have welded up (200 pesos). Gotta get me a new trailer better suited to Baja. How did that Kendon triple rail hold up?
Hope to see you all soon.
