Oh you’ll get one a minutely detailed yawn fest as every tiny forgotten detail seems new and exciting. I saw a car, it was yellow... and then another one, but that one was blue, I think the blue one was nicer than the yellow one. The yellow one was driven poorly. I’ve done a compare and contrast. See chart of vehicles I saw below. Then there was this stuff wizzing past me, I think it’s called fresh air, I’m not sure it’s been so long since I’ve seen the outside world it might just be wind. I’ll Google it later and let you know what I found. Then there was this yellowy ball in the sky, not sure on that either, might be one of Tyms, would be tricky to retrieve though. You won’t be sorry you asked, its bound to be a blinder 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a Multistrada at the beginning of this trip, but didnt make it to the border before the italian stallion started misbehaving. He left us, rode to San Diego (this is Friday) and tried to get it fixed. We wake up on Day 4 to a text that he was in Mexicali and wanted to know where to meet us. The text was old, as he was outside the gate of this complex by the time we went looking for him. He had ridden thru the night, crossing the border at 3am, and was raring to go! The Fernando/cactus story is coming shortly. Followed at the end by the Fernando "I know a short cut in TJ, at the border" debacle. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfalfa Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Day 4 With Fernando now on board, the BNB group headed south to Gonzaga Bay to meet up with the Alfonsina's boys. Turns out they had a little fun with Gary's bike. Little on the road valve job, in the most cleanest of clean room conditions.... Some pics from the ride down - me and Chris At Alfonsilas, with the bikes packed, it was now time to pick the day's route (of course, that could have been done earlier so we would have more riding time. But....) The loose plan was to head south along the coast and find a little village to camp for the first time of the trip. Things changed. We HAD to go past Coco's Corner, a mainstay for the Baja 1000. Coco's Corner is one of the most infamous crossroads in Northern Baja (stolen from the interwebby). Coco lives in a little hut and sells beer and cokes to passersby. The hut is papered with panties from fans who have stopped in. (chicks are cool!) When we went by in 2016, the road past Coco's was the only way south and back to pavement. Since that time, the government has finished the paved highway, but has unfortunately cut Coco off from all the travel. There is a sign on the hwy calling it out, but fewer people seem to go by now. Fortunately, friends and volunteers are building him a new place closer to the pavement, keeping the tradition going. (someone in the group has a great group shot of us all with Coco that i will track down and add. In his 90s now, he has been in a wheelchair for years having had his legs removed below the knees due to diabetes) There was talk of dirt from Cocos to Bahia de Los Angeles, but Coco scared us off with talk of 13 miles of sand! Instead, we headed south out of Cocos, rather than return immediately to the pavement. There was a point further south on Hwy 1, where the dirt route came close to pavement. Our thought was to possibly head off there, cutting the corner down to Bahia. The area: Google Maps hasnt updated theirs in some time, so this shows the hwy still running by Coco's Bing Maps is a little more updated: (I've circled Coco's Corner. As you can see, they have left the poor guy way off the new highway. A blow up of his abode: We made it back to pavement on Hwy 5, then on to Hwy 1. Heading south, we reached the point where the original dirt track was close to pavement and half the group decided to chance it. Others figured a nice pavement ride down to the coast would be smarter and easier. Guess which choice was the best? Some pics from the pavement pussies, i mean smart guys 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfalfa Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Day 4 continued: (sorry for the delay, but the sand section from this day was pretty entertaining, afterwards, and i've been trying to collect pics from the others who attempted it. in the meantime .....) So, while the saner riders of the group were busy finding that nights accommodations, the true AGALOS guys were taking a "shortcut" to the highway into Bahia de Los Angeles, located on the east coast of Baja. Small fishing village, as well as a ferry terminus. Being a shortcut, they showed up in stages, with the last to arrive only an hour or two later than the pavement peeps. some iPhone videos: First to arrive were the Louisiana boys on the small bikes. I'm guessing they only have swamps in Louisiana, and not much sand! Second up were Fernando and Chris. They had made it a few miles deeper into the shortcut before bailing back to the main road. Fernando was sporting a bandaid under his eye, and had decorated his jacket with red stuff that appeared to look just like blood. All due to getting up close and personal to a cactus! I guess you could call this truly a face plant? He was escorted out of the mess by Chris. The last 4 to show looked a little wiped out, but were still laughing. They had busted all the way thru the sand, but it wasnt easy. Especially for Gary: (Facebook banned this pic for being too graphic! They must have thought that was Gary's brain between his gloves. It was a cow pattie, much smarter than Gary) Our favorite prick .........and his cactus: Sand shit show!! Gary's little helper 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Were you camping later on? I ask because that looks like way too much luggage each bike is carrying. Amazing stuff, just great. Did the red bike crack the valve cover? There is a track I am going to try on the GSA in Morocco that must have some soft sand, I'm pretty intimidated by the thought of it to be honest.

Amazing stuff, just great. Did the red bike crack the valve cover? There is a track I am going to try on the GSA in Morocco that must have some soft sand, I'm pretty intimidated by the thought of it to be honest. We were to start camping on Day 4, but given the delayed starts every day, we didnt make it to our camping spot, stopping in Bahia de Los Angeles, instead. The most fun we have on a trip is bagging on the one with the most luggage. Bruce is right above, speed is your friend in sand. However, you will have to overcome your sphincter, which is constantly telling you to slow down! The red bike wasnt damaged much, cause sand is soft The valve cover work shown previously was due to some other tip over earlier in the trip. We had several great riders on this trip, with Matt (KTM rider) and Dennis probably being the top dogs. In the videos posted you an hear Dennis saying he went down 3 times. Matt never did go down. Bastard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
