Just over 2100 miles of pure excitement. If you haven’t ridden Baja Carretera Transpeninsular (Mexican Federal Highway 1) put it on your bucket list!
In June of 2023, my parents, my wife and I took two Harley touring bikes to Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur Mexico. Our ride was amazing. Some good roads, some bad roads, and some frame deep sand. Nothing more exciting than deep sand on a Glide! We all made it home in one piece and never had to use our spare gallon of gas.
The entire trip the worst asphalt was I-40 between Kingman and Flagstaff, AZ.
Road construction in the Baja is a bit different than the US. Instead of closing one lane, they close the road and force you onto the shoulder. Go slow as there are spots of deep sand and potholes.
