Wow, what a day! The Rumarosa grade, riding across the desert to San Felipe, and swimming in the Sea of Cortez! The bikes are running great and so are we. Good buddies Greg and Abe met us in Tecate last night and the eight of us had a fabulous ride!
Check out the photos from a fantastic day in no particular order (I uploaded them to the blog in roughly the same sequence as I took them)…
Greg in downtown Tecate at the start of our day…he’s on his TT250. Like many of our riders, Greg owns both an RX3 and a TT250.
Good buddy Dan 2 at speed on his TT250. Dan owns both an RX3 and a TT250.
The boys on Mexico Highway 2 headed east toward Mexicali.
Willie, the most interesting man in the world, on his TT250. Willie is yet another guy who owns both an RX3 and a TT250.
Good buddy Abe on his RX3.
Good buddy Mike’s highly personalized RX3. This is an awesome motorcycle!
Entering the Rumarosa Grade!
Greg hamming it up for the camera.
Matt on his white TT250 in the Rumarosa Grade.
My bike. The TT250 is a ton of fun. It has to be the best deal on a new motorcycle ever. We are having a blast down here in Baja. If you’re thinking of buying a TT250, hey…pull the trigger. You could be riding with us!
Greg on the rocks…
Good buddy Dan 1 (or is he Dan 2?). Dan is incredibly photogenic. Yep, he’s another guy who owns a TT250 and an RX3!
Greg, our good friend. This is your pilot speaking…
Dan 2? Dan 1? A great shot with the Rumarosa Grade in the background.
The Rumarosa Grade! This is an awesome stretch of highway, and it was one of many highlights on our ride.
After descending through the Rumarosa Grade, we headed south on Mexico Highway 5 toward San Felipe. We stopped at a roadside taco stand in the middle of the desert for some incredible goat tacos (it’s called birria down here). Wow, they were fantastic!
This is what riding in Mexico is all about, folks!
A birria taco master chef at work!
Mike and Willie ordering lunch.
They were incredible!
My helmet, my tacos. Life is good.
After lunch, it was an easy run to San Felipe. We stopped for a photo beneath the San Felipe light house…
El Faro!
We checked in to the El Cortez hotel in San Felipe and immediately went for a swim in the Sea of Cortez. This is a great ride!
A couple on an ATV in San Felipe….she’s taking a photo of me!
Along the Malecon in San Felipe…we had a great dinner. It’s been a grand adventure!
I couldn’t get a good Internet connection in San Felipe last night, so I’m posting this from Tecate. It’s our last night in Mexico. I’ll post photos of today’s ride later. We sure are having a great time. I know you’re wondering, and here’s the answer: The bikes are running great. It’s funny…our bikes cost $2,195 brand new. We’re seeing guys down here on $25,000 KTMs and Beemers, and I don’t think they’re having as much fun as we are.
Just $2,195 for a new TT250. Think about that, and think about this: It could be you in those photos above. It should be you!
Oh, one more thing…boy oh boy, am I getting awesome video! I won’t be able to post it from Mexico, but when I return to the plant you are going to see some awesome stuff!
Later, my friends!
