- Spending seven days on a motorcycle riding on and off road in Baja Mexico from Cabo San Lucas to San Diego was the adventure of a lifetime. I was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to take a Baja motorcycle trip on a Yamaha Tenere 700, courtesy of the awesome team at @RIDEAdventures This tour took us over 1300 miles from Baja California Sur to the US Border.

Make sure you tell them Dork sent ya!
Day 2 of our Baja Mexico motorcycle adventure took us from the coastal capital of La Paz to the city of Loreto. Along the way we enjoyed lunch in Ciudad Constitucion and spent hours riding through the beautiful baja mexico desert. We had plenty of Tenere 700 crashes in the sand and rode adventure bikes through at least 20 water crossings this day...but all the hard riding paid off when we were rewarded with views of a beautiful Spanish mission in the heart of the desert and a twisty canyon run down to Loreto in the sunset.
HUGE SHOUT OUT TO Matt from @TallManMoto for editing this series! Give him a follow and hit him up for any motorcycle or other video editing needs!

I’m in Florida and ride nothing but these sandy roads and it’s funny to hear you give yourself words of encouragement and tips 😂 I do the same thing every ride. No matter how much sand you ride, it gives you sweaty palms for sure! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Press nuts.... "That's what I get when I wear too tight pants", had me literally Laughing Out Loud.
Same 🤣
I'll probably never ride a motorcycle in Mexico, but I'm enjoying riding along with you. Great video, Ben!
The way you coach yourself while riding is awesome. Apparently, you do better than I do since you weren't reminding yourself to breathe. I have to do that. It's fun watching you see new things and hearing your thoughts.
This is awesome, Dork! Favorite series of yours so far
¡Excelente! Esta fue la mejor película que he visto. ❤
That was a smooth dismount. 20 plus years of riding sport bikes and bought a new ktm 500 exc-f. Totally different kind of riding... it humbled me real fast.
“Lookin like a meal on wheels right now” lol. What a beautiful place.
The food is awesome and super affordable! That was a 10 on the dismount!
Such a graceful dismount.
That panorama view was unreal
Another amazing Baja video!
That was awesome. Hey you are correct on learning what is a crash and what isn’t and when to hold em and when to fold em. Riding a dirt bike is the best and lighter way to learn. Not to mention cheaper when things break. I learned how to fall SO GOOD in my first year of dirt biking 2020.
I’m beginning to see a pattern here with the closing of your videos😄.
Awww man, that SUCKS Paul. Sorry that happened 😢. On another note, loving this series!
Most excellently awesome!!
Ben you must be a ninja or you use to be in the special forces the way you came off that bike and you were still on your feet. Great recovery. You should have used that technique when you fell over on the recliner. 😅👍 I got to learn that technique. 😊. KC looks like Festus from gun smoke. Do you see it?
🤣😂🤣😂
Amazing series so far. Absolutely loving it.
Glad to hear it!
Glad you're enjoying Baja! Me and my riding partner live in San Diego and are down there quite often (at least pre-Covid). We're just starting to do trips again (latest teaser for our Guerrero Negro whale watching trip is on our channel if you're interested in checking it out).
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip. Hope you got to see the Mission in San Ignacio, and interested to see your reaction to the Cataviña Desert. Baja is where I go when my soul needs a little refresh.
(By the way you and I were talking Bad Religion in the comments in a couple months back).
Nice walk-off, Ben! You make it look easy!
Never been on an organised ride, cause I am too cheap, but I like the beer welcome idea as you pull in to the hotel bikepark :) Obviously that has never happened to me.
Those shrines are memorials for someone that passed away in that spot. I always remember seeing some on a mountain side in the state of Nayarit
one of your best videos yet
I really hope to one day go on a ride like that looks epic. Glad you had a good time and Baja
Bloody brilliant.
One of your best Videos yet. Keep it up.
That's cuz I didn't edit it ;) Thanks for watching!
That ride is one of my best experiences . We rode the other way.
I love that area. We go Paramotoring around there and will be on the ADV bikes soon...got my new Tiger 900 Rally Pro loaded and ready to go. Great video.
Loving this series!!!
Thanks for watching!
@Dork in the Road Yea man, your channel is one of my favorites. You're getting me pumped for adv riding :)
Geez Ben, remind me to have a feed before watching. One of the most entertaining vids so far. How’s the backside now? Thank you for the laughs and the cinematography. Cheers.
it was a silly crash... but you are 100% correct, learning how to fall is huge
Que Chingon wey!!
Dude, I totally knew you weren't in Ciudad Constitucion when you said you were and feel so outraged that you tried to deceive us! 😂
This is so cool brother 👊 total trip of a lifetime
You’re loving the dream.
In this episode, Dork demonstrates his cat like reflexes!
"Meals on Wheels" for the buzzards statement was hilarious 😂
Cool episode Dork Man loved it. I especially loved the meals on wheels comment.
I live in the central valley of California and ride a KLR, we have the same "sand". Its more like powder than anything. Impossible to ride on! That piano and string music is beautiful by the way.
No doubt that was a very elegant dismount !!
What a great ride! I have to add a Baja trip to my bucket list. Trusting your tires/bike on lose surface takes a while. In sand my brain needs to overrule my instincts.
Awesome Video. A++
Great video of a great journey! Thank you Sir :)
Vultures circling. great video
If the Mandalorian was a motorcyclist: "Lane-splitting, this is the way". 20 years commuting in CA traffic. Great video Ben! What an awesome adventure.
A few years ago a buddy and I did that ride the other way, we came from Mulege down to Ciudad Constitucion.
That gas station between La Paz and Ciudad Constitucion, was that at Las Pocitas? Due to my buddy insisting I didn't need gas and I could get it there, I didn't fill up on our way out of C.C. and when we got to Las Pocitas the Pemex was out of gas - the truck didn't come the day before. A guy ended up siphoning a gallon out of F150 that had rolled which JUST got me to the outskirts of La Paz.
That ride from Hwy 1 to San Javier was/is awesome and the views... pictures don't do them justice! Just beautiful!
A+ riding
This section was one of the most beautiful rides I've done (was out there a week ago). Curious if your party came across a wash about 100' wide that was super washed out. I had to slightly divert around it because luggage + solo felt quite sketch! And that descent into Loreto is incredible!
The term you are looking for is "well nuts". 18:41 in the video. Great video by the way. I always enjoy your stuff.
Very cool :)
I cant navigate that loose powdery sand on two wheels. Thats a skill for the young and quick healers
I had Machaca in Delano, CA on my way to Death Valley. So good! I'm trying to find it again in Silicon Valley but no luck yet.
Great video,greetings from Sweden :)
Thanks for watching!
sick dismount
I'm like a fat ninja
@@DorkintheRoad 🥷
I rarely try to ride out wrecks. I exit early if stuff starts to wrong. I figure it's better to exit the bike on my own terms. I also try to get as far away from the bike as possible. It's worked for me so far.
I need to take an off road course if only to learn that step off maneuver. I’m getting tired of picking up my old body after falling
The Carnage - but looks like fun.
Well nuts
😂 Press-nuts? No, that's what I do why I wear too tight of pants 😂😮😅
Reminds me of the road heading into my town when the river is running you cross it 13 times
Hi Ben. Was that really Paul’s Ex ray?
After his surgery, yes
Nice ride man!Are the cb 500 x bikes with stock suspension?
I love authentic Mexican food. Can’t get that stuff anywhere in the states. There’s probably six Mexican restaurants in my town and they’re all over Americanized.
"Press nuts" new shirt
That CB500 X, custom? Stock? tell us more please... how did he like it?
How can you be not good and hate riding in the sand and live in Oregon? - time to hit up sand lake or Florence and do some beach riding and camping 🏕 videos summer is coming
I love how the longer you are in Mexico the more Spanish you "speak".
I was trying at least. Better than being one of those people that goes down there and expects everyone to speak English.
7:40
You can take the man out of the PNW. But you can't take the PNW outta the man. 😁🤙
😂
5 to 6k is a little steep for me. Rather, just haul my bike to Colorado in a u-haul.
I’m planning on riding the exact same route next month but have no sand experience. Now I’m thinking about changing my route. I’ve done some off road but not sand.
Pee D R. lol
UM be careful with "traffic laws in Mexico are a suggestion" lol
Well I made it home so....I guess I just got lucky this time? ;)
More like "I suggest you give me $50 gringo before you can go"
How many people do you need to pick up a fallen adventure bike ( not a crf300l rally )….the answer= more than one. Conclusion, don't ride by yourself when riding a heavy ass off road bike.
Kinda defeats of riding when and where you want without having to consult with multiple people....oh well at least your moving fast.
You can pick it up by yourself. I've done it many times but that's dumb when you have help nearby.
