3 day Baja lobster run Thanksgiving weekend

[Afry 1]

I never get MX insurance but YMMV. Bring small US bills works fine.

I don't use or find a need to use a credit card in MX on these trips.

We will be meeting at the gas station on Hollister Rd and Hwy 5 @ 9:30 with kickstands up @ 10.

Just checking- this is the station east of the 5, Coronado Ave Exit? Corner of Hollister and Coronado?

West - 1102 Hollister Rd, when you exit from the North it is straight ahead.

If anyone wants gps tracks for this ride PM me your email address.

[paulmbowers 236]

Ah- got it.

So- arrive at 10:10 and mess around with jetting, do a quick brake bleed, check tire pressures, set rear sag, then get going sometime thereafter?

All,

Of course I waited until the last minute to find my passport and, yep, it expired in 4/14. Any problems getting back into the US with valid DL, expired passport, and a very surprised look on my face??

Edit: CINC Home found my birth certificate so I'm good

Joe and I had the most excellent of times getting to meet all of you !

Arnie thank you for being such a wonderful host and putting this altogether might have to drag you up to the Delta to do some fishing!

Glad I spent another night grab some lobster and grab the hotel which is a few blocks down from Fortuna Nuevo was beat up sand tends to do that to an old man like me!

sorry for being the slow one of the group!

looking forward to running with you guys another time hopefully New Year's maybe lol

At Mike's sky Rancho s bar I can't help but think I made a commitment to Meetup with Chris in Morocco?

Thanks tequila!?

Great to meet and ride with you and Joe- as I recall when I left the bar, you were not going to Morocco, you were going to

MOROCCO!!!!!!!

Also fyi got a "POD X1" worlds smallest motorcycle " biker appoved" jumpstarter from the cycle store at montiel road san marcos...size if my 5s iphone in lifeproof box half price (80 Bucks) ...the clips are bigger than the battery!! With all the charging gizmos for iphones laptops etc.. But was mighty dissapointed no baja-tire-changing-ratchet-wotsit! [cw built in stop watch and mickey-taker]
