Well, we arrived on Sunday late afternoon, got busy unloaded, and then we got busy working on Larry’s bike cause it stopped running. That is what happens when you change your air cleaner and leave a shop rag in your carburetor….. and it gets sucked in when you test ride it…

Today’s ride will be easy to test out the bikes.

And we are heading south.

Big Ben, Big Dawg, and Joseph arrived behind the Orange Curtain on Friday about 9:00 p.m. We caught up till about 1:00 p.m. when we called it a night.

Saturday was a big day, Ben and I started with a hugh trip to CostCo to buy food for 10 for the whole trip, including water for 6 of us. No easy task with Ben Shopping.

Later it was off to the Yamaha store to purchase some last minute items, then back to the house where we met Dean to go over some last minute items, like, when are we going to leave tomorrow…..
After packing up the food, I took Big Dawg on a Hog ride in and around San Clemente since it was such a nice day out. He was enjoying every minute of it.

Today we head south!

Its Has Been in the Planning Stages for Months….

And now we about ready to go to do some pre-running of the 2013 Baja 250 in San Felipe, Baja California.

Last year a group of us went to the 250 and had a great time. Last year we started with 4 of us, 4 more joined mid-week, and 3 of us rode bikes. This year we are starting with 10, with two more joining the last two days and 9 of us ride.

This year we have Big Ben, Big Dawg, Joesph, Macman, Notorious Dean, Tommy, Peter, Nolan and myself, JimmyV.. Oh yeah, Patron will be along from the start. Rounding out the group towards the end of the week will be entertainers Sideshow and Sideshow Lite.

Friday Big Ben and crew will show up at my house, Saturday we shop for food and finish packing, and on Sunday morning, Big Ben, Notorious Dean and I will be driving our vehicles as we head south to hook up with Macman and pick up a few more bikes. By Sunday night, we will be enjoying Baja!! Monday night, Tommy and his crew hookup.

Internet access will be very limited, so posts will probably be few. I will have my SPOT with me and I’ll set up the page so it can be tracked of our daily rides.

Now lets ride!
