A Ride To San Quintin

Retired life, Baja, hopping on a TT250 and riding 450 miles for lunch...it doesn't get much better than this.

Thanks for the read! Makes me want to retire and try some rides out, but the only difference is if I retired now, I would be homeless somewhere riding my TGB 150 Delivery scooter (assuming it hasn't been stolen or broken down) to the soup kitchen...no I have to keep working!

Looks like something I would love doing. Like culcune I still have 9 years to go before i can call it quite. I can barely get 60 miles down on my hawk I cannot imagine 400 plus.

According to the Dr.'s I should have already been collecting retirement checks for several years latest x-rays and fancy scans show my bones, muscles, and joints look like someone pushing 90 problem is I'm barely into my 30's and do "DDP Yoga" every day

Good thing "YOLO!" is just a saying maybe in the next life my body will hold up better to the abuse I put it through


Thanks for another good read CSCDude

Thanks for the comments, guys.

John is keeping his TT250 in Bahia de Los Angeles (that's in Baja) and his RX3 in the US. I may do the same, as John said I could park my TT250 at his place.

Yeah, being retired is a good thing. I'm sure enjoying it. Just got back from a run up to northern California and the PCH. I've been traveling almost nonstop since I retired.

Lots of good stories on the ExNotes site, including the CSC 150 Cabo Run, the recent Janus Baja ride, and more (see the Baja page). I'm posting a series on the 2005 Three Flags Classic rally now, and I may ride that event again in 2019.

If you sign up for auto email updates for new blog entries by the end of this month (just a few days away), you're in a drawing for one of the moto adventure books. The widget to sign up is on the ExNotes blog.
