It was a LONG ride to Ensenada, we took the free road which snakes along the coast. It's free because they don't fix it, there's potholes big enough to swallow you whole. It was nearly seven hours from my house to Ensenada
There's a lot of Indians from Oaxaca, those are the ones selling the Chiclets gum
They don't speak English, they don't even speak Spanish. They speak Mixteco, it's an indian dialect. They're the real Mexicans and just like our Native Americans, they are the poorest people in their own country
Here's some, the girls were talking with them. when you get there just spread the wealth
This guy wouldn't stop until he shined my boots
Apparently he didn't have any change so he shined EVERYBODY'S shoes for the ten bucks I gave him
That's the Carnival Cruise Ship
One of my brother in laws is renting this place in Ensenada, we crashed there
My brother in law's father in law I think. They had a actual gate so when we took off in a car to see some nightlife we locked our bikes at their place
The girls were lost, I went to get some breakfast and they were looking all over. It was Baja 500 weekend and there was a bazillion off roaders and fans in town, the party was just up the street a block
Still lost...
Getting ready to take off to the wine country... my other brother in law looking cool as usual
No really.. we're going...
Last look at Ensenada before heading through the wine country and then up to Tecate where they make the beer... yup
The girls
We stopped off here for some birria, Birria is any kind of slow cooked meet as long as it's not beef
These little shack restaurants alongside the road are just a family making a living, that's what they do there
You take your chances, we try to pick out a place that's shinier than the rest
We had chivo and borrego, which is goat and lamb
Everybody wants a picture with the bikes. Usually they run up, jump on your bike and somebody snaps a photo and the run off before you can say anything. This a rare occasion they actually asked. That girl was our waitress
and that guy was our waiter
Four bucks to get into the wine museum
yup I was gonna get my money's worth
and that's about it.
just before we came back my bike was parked on a little downhill gravel slope in neutral
I was standing next to it and it started going down, the kickstand folded and by the time I caught it was more 45 degrees over and I couldn't stop it. it never really hit the ground, I'm not sure what was stopping it because it wasn't me, I can't hold up 800 pounds especially on slippery gravel
I was pulling so hard trying to keep it up I actually snapped my iso grip in half
anyway, hell of a good trip, spent a couple hundred bucks , came back with tons of trinkets, a full belly, a lots of memories
