    Just outside of Cabo
    Everything is so green
    It has not been this why in about 5 years
    Usually it is brown and dead
    Look close, all the yellow spots flying in the air are butterflies

    Dunlop 606 rear and I am not sure about the front. It is something new from Dunlop. But they work well and last long

    Definitely staying tuned to this RR. Looking forward to the next "official" leg of your journey. Thanks for adding all the Baja pics. Convinced me that is a trip I need to do.

    Since you are so close to Baja already (So Caloif) you have to go
    I got hooked 20+ years ago and spend a lot of my time down there
    I am going to travel the world to find somewhere I like better now

    Fantastic trip report, thanks for sharing!

    It looks like you’ve added an additional lower crash guard to the r1200GS Adv. Can you please provide manufacturer information for this part?
