Red face Ride report Baja California, Mexico, Christmas/New Year 2008/09

Please visit Baja California TBSdotCom for a 2 part video story with still images, action clips and wildlife, including text commentary. Here are a few images giving you a little idea of what I got up to.
Cheers

Don’t see many of these in Yorkshire


Coco’s Corner just before the rain came. Riding sand in a rainstorm. Just my idea of fun…


Forgive me, for I have sinned: Having too much fun on a dirt bike

Here are the 2 parts of the story, as seen on my website. Remember the PAUSE button, if it runs too fast. Also, TRY THE HIGH QUALITY FUNCTION







Hope you like them.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
