Hi WildBaja, thanks for the compliment. I am really overwhelmed with all the great comments on this video! I picked the music for the video. I originally had it posted without music but I think it makes it a bit more enjoyable to have something to listen to besides motorcycle drone. If I had to do it again I would lower the volume of the music a tad where there are conversations. . I wanted something that matched the mood of the journey. My biggest worry was that the lyrics would be inappropriate. Since I am not a Spanish speaker, google-translating the song lyrics was a little tedious. It was pretty tough to find royalty-free stuff out there on the web, but I really liked how it turned out.

So what is the name of the song and band, playing that fun 60s rock style music? Spanish Rock one, where you turn around on that gnarly trail.

Got it! Credits at the end

With you permission RANCHERO-BANDIDO, may I rewrite your comment in English so we can understand. Not text version....."WildBaja just one thing. Don't write (Baja) only. We are (Baja California). Don't steal our good name (California), Please.. Thanks."

Hi Alex, I did not know about Laguna Hanson. After the fact, we keep seeing things that we would have liked to go. We had a general idea of where we were headed but really didn't plan very far ahead...more like wherever the wind blew us.

Hi Guillermo. I personally enjoyed the small villages and remote beaches the best. The ride up to the Observatory was incredible and Playa Santispac on Bahia Concepcion was one of my favorite beaches. We did tours of the old churches which was fascinating as most are still in use. I find that the people in the small non-touristy places seem friendlier and are not all about selling you trinkets. The further south you go, the more touristy it gets. The one touristy thing we DID enjoy was Gray Whale watching in Guerrero Negro. If we go again, I want to spend more time around Mulegé and visit the waterfalls in the mountains near Santiago (between Los Barriles and Cabo san Lucas)

+zmnixon Hi. thanks for taking time to answer. I live in Veracruz and I have family living in caloformia. I hope some day soon to say hello .... have a nice day, friend

We did this trip in 4 weeks, but we did stay a whole week in Los Barriles and another 4 days in Loreto when the helmets got stolen. I'd say you need minimum 2 weeks to do it comfortably.

+telerover Here you go! This is the version without any music...enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLRpeZN6p7C8nJ8.html

There was no issue with gas stations (well, almost no issue) While heading back up North from Coco's corner, we bypassed one gas station because Coco told us there was another one a little further. Turns out we had to wait 3 hours for it to open and Michael was on fumes. All the road side stands had totally edible food and we did not get sick even once. Riding time each day really varied quite a bit. We were almost always off the road by dusk...so that would be about 5-8 hours every day. One day we rode an hour and ended up staying at Playa Santispac.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I regret that I don't have the GPS tracks. When we make it back home after our mainland Mexico trip I will try and get them for you.

Hi Asa J. Warren. The salt flats are 72 miles from the Calexico border crossing. If you take the main highway toward San Felipe (Federal Highway 5) they are on the left hand side. Look for a small road that heads straight into the flats. If you are looking on google maps, they are visible as a light coloured area just north of the gulf of Mexico.

Thanks for the info - much appreciated!

No worries girls. We've done two trips to Mexico , both lasting more than a month. Baja is really great and we felt safe the entire time we were there. We actually prefer the slower laid-back pace of Baja over Mainland Mexico. We had a bit of stupid bad luck when our helmets were stolen in La Paz, but that was our fault. We perched them on the bikes in plain view - or course someone took advantage of the situation. So, my advice is to take any valuables and gear off the bikes OR lock them up when you are away from them. Try to find hotels that will allow you to park the bikes next to your room or in a secured compound. The hotel operators are pretty good about letting motorcyclists keep their bikes out of sight. Take an unlocked cell phone with you. You can get a sim card in the USA through carriers like Cricket mobile (AT&T) and simply add a Mexico data plan. It's really a lot cheaper than doing a plan through Telus, Rogers or Bell. That way you can look for accommodation and food while you're on the road. Buying insurance online before you go is quick and painless. There's lots of gas stations and ATM's down there but carry enough cash to buy fuel, road toll, food and hotel room. Some smaller towns don't have ATMs. I almost forgot - Bring a roll of toilet paper...lots of bathrooms don't have any! Visit Baja Bound for more tips on visiting Mexico www.bajabound.com/before/

thank-you very much for your response, I am very excited in planning this trip, all I read on the net about mexico is that it's a wonderfull place with great people. I feel really reasure with your response. Merci Beaucoup.

You are most welcome! I forgot to add Toilet Paper to the list of must-have items. Lots of the gas station bathrooms don't have any :-)

We used a combination of online forums, other youtube videos, rumours and recommendations from people on Facebook. :-)

Thank you for the reply. Happy riding!

+Jonathan Calkins, it's a KTM 950. Here's an editorial on the bike before Craig painted it. www.outriderjournal.com/?p=2207

It was about 4 weeks at a fairly relaxed pace.

"El Mundo me espera" by Los Fancy Free

+AzzzZ , it's called De pronto no Estás tu? by Pacotiempo. You can find it on the website here: freemusicarchive.org/search/?quicksearch=pacotiempo All the music is listed in the credits :-)

+zmnixon haha never watched movie till the end =) thanks a lot for the name of the song

Thanks sdimas73. I am working on a new video of Mainland Mexico and I'll be sure to put in a voiceover instead of just text at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes hearing my own voice is weird and hard to do without screwing it up. :-)
