Location More to follow.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slagnado 0 Posted November 1, 2010 Is there anyone willing to help me load David's BMW in his truck? (preferably tonight ). He lives in Poway. He will owe you big time:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 0 Posted November 1, 2010 Follow-up Option 1: Somebody goes to Dave's house in Poway, loads his BMW and WR up in his truck and drives to where they are. They will swap out two bikes and proceed with the rest of the ride while the rescuer brings the broken bikes back to the US. Option 2: They can get a ride to Ensenada. Somebody use Dave's truck and/or their own, and meets them in Ensenada Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning and brings them back across the border. For option 1, they are willing to negotiate a cash compensation plus expenses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I can help this side of the border, let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vagabundo 0 Posted November 2, 2010 I'm in for option 1. I know Dave (rode with him on the last Baja trip) and am very familiar with Baja. Whoever is coordinating, please get back to me via a personal message on this site and we can trade phone numbers and work out the details. Eric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Eric has coordinated with Steel Rain to work a semi-rescue mission. Dave has a ride lined up to Ensenada and Eric will help from there. Thanks for the support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tlking6 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Koogs and I arrived back in Tecate last night to this news. I talked to Covered last night and he and Gene are pushing on to Cabo and Rain is catching a ride to Ensenada with the mexican family that rescued them in the desert, where he is going to meet Sondra and swap out his broken zook for his beemer and then catch back up with them. Thats adventure right there baby!!! I called my wife from the border to tell her I was back and she said, "not yet your not,, your heading back down to on a rescue mission"! I was a both little disapointed, and a little relieved, actually, to find out it was all taken care of. Sondra, if you need any help at all I am available all week and can do whatever.

Vagabundo 0 Posted November 3, 2010 I just walked in from picking Dave up tonight in Ensenada and returning him back home safe and sound. Before leaving his place I helped him load his GS-1200 into the back of his truck, which he will be driving back down to Guerrero Negro tomorrow morning and continue his trip from there. The guy is a machine! 4:17 a.m. is past my bed time. Buenas noches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelRain 0 Posted November 9, 2010 heading out in 5 minutes. Thanks for the help guys! That'a boy..........go get'em! Safe travels! is right, got home in time for a late dinner last night! Well, pretty much as soon as soon as I caught up with the guys, the riding got down right technical/difficult/hard for the little bikes. I may have slowed CiD down a little (he was taking a nap under a cactus) but the big bike did everything thr little bikes did and sometimes it did it faster.

SteelRain 0 Posted November 9, 2010 So what brands of bikes was it that failed, and what brand made it no problem? I'm Just sayin... The only bike that failed was my DRZ. But at 45,000+ miles and only needing valve adjustments and oil changes I have no complaints... then again the 525 EXC is nice. The other failed bike was a failure of parets caused by a moron on a bike shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covered in Dust 163 Posted November 9, 2010 I'll try and not mention that the KTM was the only bike that also didn't feel the need to take any dirt naps and they were multiful.
