    Swamp,

    I thoroughly enjoyed the video. It is well worth the $10 alone.

    Hell and all those gps coordinates would save days of plotting. Too bad I don't have 15 days...

    Thanks again for sharing!!

    Much thanks for that!! But since he's been falling asleep to the Long Way Round and Long Way Down DVDs every night for the last couple of months, he's probably as numb as me by now... :lol3

    Watched it last night after one or five cervezas and your groove almost made me go next door and knock on my neighbors door for some of the good shit he gets out of Escondido. :lol3 Very entertaining and extremely well put together, dude.

    Next time you're out here, let me know...

    It has a very cool groove to it.

    A pathay to another reality called Baja Mexico.

    Grab a beer, chill and enjoy.

    An excellent movie.

    Well Done Senor Swamp.

    great job on the ride report. I especially like how you kept all the vids pretty short. RR's sometimes get too timing consuming when one has to stop and watch each vid, for many minutes at a time...kills the flow.

    As usual, this is one of the RR's that I just stumble on looking for a good read.....title made it worth investigating...glad I did.

    I wish it was different, but I have no plans to head to mexico anytime soon. I may just buy the DVD just for the hell of it and to help the cause.

    Happy Holidays. :clap

    swamp, just a thought here. If possible you might make a change to make it possible to change the quantity ordered to encourage larger orders for friends and family. :deal

    Thanks for the effort to put this all together. :thumb

    First post here at ADVRider, and having read your excellent Ride Report, I thought I might comment on it.

    First off, I have been looking into buying a nice little Dual Sport to replace the menagerie of motorcycles I own, and I think I know which one to look out for now:ricky

    I found it quite alluring, how you can meet up with random fellow riders from across the world, ride with them for day in a sea of isolation, share in a significant life experience, and then part ways the next day, only to find them again at the next stop.

    Profound RR, Swamp! I hope to see more interesting reads like this on ADVRider!
