Baja Adventure - Dualsport Plus - The Ride of My Life

[@AdventureGlide]

Dude, I wish you were still making these videos. You have inspired me to start my own channel. I really enjoy all your videos.

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

What a nice thing to say! The whole goal has been to inspire people to go on adventures! But don’t worry, I haven’t stopped making videos! I’m going to be posting a new series on this channel starting in January

[@AdventureGlide]

@@EscapeFromRealityAdventures Hell Yeah, good to hear. I can't wait. I've seen every one of your videos. Anyways. I wouldn't know who AltRider was if it wasn't for your channel.

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

@@AdventureGlide it’s still going to have that spirit of adventure, but I’m blending another FORM of adventure! I hope you don’t bail ! Lol We need you to stick around!

[@hendroan0312]

hello from indonesia...you guys are lucky to have this adventure experiences...

[@brownharr1]

Great video! Can't believe I missed this one. Good to see Johnny Harris "Still Standing" at the end of the trip. 😁

[@mexploretravel7213]

Oooops sorry I'm a little late commenting on your video - but I loved it !!! I'm from Toronto Canada and now live in central Mexico the past 6 years. I must say your video is very accurate regarding the beauty of the country and it's people. I love Baja - and plan to return over Christmas this year. I have a Ducati Enduro and BMW GS so I'm ready. Many moto groups here and we discover the country together (riding to thru Mexico and to Panama next week). It's no doubt you've experienced the Ride of your Life right here in peaceful Mexico - so happy for you guys !!

[@Mace231]

I’ve watched your videos more then twice each. Just love everything about adventure biking. My buddies and I talk about how we wish we had self owned and self sufficient businesses so we could just leave the grid at the drop of a hat and go adventure biking. We even mention your videos and say “Man that guys got life figured out.” Good for you man. Love your style.

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Macen Bernardi thanks Macen!! Grab your buddy and let’s go ride!! Might be fun to be IN the video rather than watching. Ready?

[@Mace231]

The Ride of My Life. Oh believe me, when I can convince my wife I need to disappear for a week or two on my adventure bike, I will be contacting you and begging to come along on your next adventure!

[@Mahigeer1]

Nice video. I will be going from Mexicali to Bahia Asuncion via 5 HWY passed Coco's Corner. Now I know to be watchful for bikers who like to play and take chances with their lives. Especially on the dirt roads. Great tip. Thanks.

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Hashem N you are correct!Sometimes it can be the law of the west down there. Not only the bikes, but the quads, side-by-side, pick up trucks... be safe but most of all, have fun!

[@alanszymczak6173]

WOW what a trip! LOVED IT!

[@kee7678]

Amazing! I live in San Diego and we do paragliding and Powered Paragliding/Paramotoring trips all over Baja. I'm def doing this soon!!! Great video!!!

[@astrowuff]

I live in LA, and want to do this someday!

[@vadimelkin]

Jason Messinger Jason, I live in Chicago and has been thinking the same. Have you done it yet?

[@stevefillion2771]

Have to visit

[@SteelHorseman]

I've watch this a 100 times! Love it and want to do it !!!

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

We got a trip in the works, with Lawrence Hacking leading the way. Wanna come? [e-mail]

[@SteelHorseman]

+The Ride of My Life I wish I could brother!!

[@telerover]

+The Ride of My Life Details. I want to bring my Dog.

[@JumpingWatermelons]

I should find some friends to team up with when I got to Baja this winter

[@doublex632]

If you had to do it all over , would you take lighter dualsports ? Wow what an adventure, thanks

[@MagicRoosterBluesBand]

Ahhh... the joys of tube tires.

[@Paul49myspace]

Always impressed with the ride! Great editing and sound. Cool to see the BMW suspension being put to work. The Whale shots were unreal. Lucky Dogs!

[@phill1491]

I am loving these videos!

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

NURide Love the fact that you are digging them!!!

[@fireballmalone1]

Lots of fun. Hard to watch from work! Almost had to take a sick day to go ride!!

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

fireballmalone1 it's so funny that people watch our videos, while sitting behind a desk at work. Perhaps we should all get together and ride more often and work just a bit less.

[@Thebonesoftrees]

Brilliant video, getting a klr for the spring , cheers from alberta :)

[@randallpeterson929]

Baja is considered the frontier of mexico. Like Alaska without snow and shitty weather

[@fredfadungy1925]

soon i'll be buying my first 2 wheeler CSC RX3 im really excited to be starting a whole new chapter in my life ;-) you guys ROCK.. An Astonishing ride ! :-) ps, Im 68 and Really looking forward to a new adventure ;-)

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Fred Fadungy post some of your adventures, Fred! We'd love to see!

[@bobhappel4168]

I hope you didn't get that RX3.

[@grey3977]

It can be argued that El Camino Real runs as far north as Mission San Fransisco in Sonoma Ca which was which built to keep the Russians at Fort Ross from moving inland. Gotta love history!

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

+grey man Nice!

[@pumasgoya]

That's true..and the stretch into the two Baja Californias, Sonora and Arizona, as well as Texas.

[@mr.dirt-lovin7239]

I wanna do Baja!

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Mr. Dirt-Lovin come with us!

[@johnnygross4415]

looks like a whole lot of nothing at times tho.

[@toplink]

Well...that was cool. Where do I send the check, and when do I need to show up?

[@phunguyen6039]

Wishing everyone can do same . today no touch them sucks 😞 same in bar rules .why i don't come in bars lol

[@100SpokeRiderz]

This was a good video but I just wish they would have gave a quick run down of the motorcycles everyone was riding or at least a year, make & model list in the credits

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

100SpokeRiderz sorry, just getting to the comment now. Most of the bikes with BMW R 1200 GS 2014. There was a 2015 R and a 2015 triumph Tiger 800 Cross country. I hope that helps

[@pnutwhiddon-roy9690]

Television

[@craig_ramjet990]

I missed probably a third of this video because I had my eyes closed playing air guitar to the soundtrack.

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Craig Thomas i'm so stoked you liked the choice of music. So stoked that you are jamming out on air guitar. I was air drumming!!! Perhaps we should start a band?

[@mjerse50]

Your Baja adventure is great. Where in Ontario are you guys at? Thank you very much for your videos.

[@halmapes5086]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!

[@805gregg]

How do you ride the 700 miles of Baja with little or no luggage, is mom following you in the mini van?

[@Mahigeer1]

Looks like they had a pickup with trailer following them.

[@davidtankesley5741]

It was a van

[@davidtankesley5741]

Did you see the language when they checked to the hotal.

[@bajamcguide]

Hi. We used our Dodge Durango and a trailer. We met the riders at the border. They all had their hard or soft bags that we put on the trailer on day 2..

[@kirkschreier2369]

I put my clothes in my backpack, with a pair of flip flops and go from hotel to hotel, taco stand to taco stand on my trusty Xr650r..

[@TerryBlanchard]

Any chance you have the GPX tracks of this amazing adventure and would be willing to share them?

[@arojaaspmf]

Bajamazing ! Love it

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Ya that was my question; how much for the trip and what did it cover?

[@CastleBomb44]

lol yeah that guy totally reminded me of Ned Flanders

[@SuperCowRides]

does the smudge on the lens bother anyone else as much as it bothers me? lol and i have a house in San Felipe. its a beautiful city and the riding there is amazing

[@clarkhaworth]

Amazing trip! I'm looking to do the same on my KLR soon. Did you spend much time in Loreto or La Paz? Some of the most beautiful countryside and coastline between those two towns. One thing though, it's called whale watching, not whale petting. Touching a whale with your hands can significantly increase the chances of infection and sea lice. It doesn't seem like a big deal and most of the guides will tell you it's ok, but it can cause a lot more harm to the whale than you would think.

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Mystr Hatchet thanks for the info. We were just following the directions of the local guide

[@OneManTrail]

19:02 How Jesus looks at you when you dump your BMW.

[@SteelHorseman]

If this poor teacher could get enough money together I would be there with you !!

[@jake233517]

couldn't imagine riding those heavy land boats off road like that, id rather take an enduro..

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Jake Cason I totally agree that an Enduro is much more capable Offroad. But you can't take one of those Enduro's 2000 miles through the gas gap of Baja. You'll be pushing your bike.

[@dexterquincy1]

Then how did you guys do it?

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

Isnt the sea of cortez on mainland mexico shore and not baja?

[@maddogchad77]

+Eccentric Smithy Sea of Cortez or Bay of California is on the eastside of the baja peninsula below Arizona everybody goes to the Mayan Palace in Puerto Penasco for spring break I have been told. Cities like Puerto Penasco Rio Colorado are actually in the state of Sonora it is a desert with a huge water inlet around the Baja peninsula I just came back from there am quite familiar my wife stays in Mexicali B.C. MX. the capital of Baja.

[@philstaggsr.8235]

What time of year did you go and did you ship the bikes from Ontario to San Felippe

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Phil Stagg Half of the bikes were shipped, the rest came from California!

[@coldgunner]

One day, I've been telling myself that for years. Just put up with the BS of daily life so one day you can ride through Baja.

[@jorgepena5964]

coldgunner jajja yes... just put on your boots and RIDE...!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@johnnygross4415]

Jesus, they look like they are dressed to go to Onterio

[@balvivasquez3251]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful adventure, we are so glad you had a wonderful time in Baja. Greetings from from whale's watching camp La Freidera . Please who ever wants to visit our camp you are welcome to visit our webside Antonios Eco-tour.mx We will be happy to help you. Abrazos !

[@eliasdiseno1]

17.. to much people…

[@JDSeg693]

This is fake, Canadians can't survive the Mexican sun... LOL

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Busted! True confession, this was done on the CGI stage at industrial light and Magic.

[@diamonddog257]

It is fake: ...these guys have got the teensiest dicks on utube... .-I'm a Canadian too, in Mexico.....have a 150cc bike that I can actually fix....-and pick up By Myself, in the worst conditions...accidents etc...REALISTICALLY. ....Not getting 'TRAILERED IN' for flat tire. And I don't weigh 300lbs of blubber either......I'm only watching this for the camera shots. My actual riding is in high mountains... These Ontario kids are an embarrassment.....sorry. thx: CS from Alberta

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

diamonddog257 Well, we hope you got some good camera angles out of it! 🏍

[@diamonddog257]

Thanks......Mexico is the land of Adventure, and it is great when Canucks make it down there....we do deserve the 'fun 'n sun'...... I have come out of a 2 year adventure thru Middle-East...Black Sea....Med..... In Mexico recovering...that is: From what I've seen upon my return to Alberta......I DO NOT WANNA GO BACK TO CANADA...... best of luck to both of us..... thx: CS

[@DanijelAkrap]

in what city did u go whale watching??

[@adriancurley2598]

looks mint but a bit far from aus

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Put it on the bucket list, and reach out to us when you're ready! Till then, invite us down under!

[@dougiequick1]

What is the purpose of huge motorcycles? I mean unless you are gonna haul a bunch of camping gear and a passenger ....not like you can ride at high speed....I just don't get the huge displacment.... Certainly want enough power to pass at will and to enjoy some power ....but at the expense of ANOTHER 100pounds? Who needs an extra 400 or 500cc of engine with allweightthat goes along with it ..... KTM is coming out with a 790 this spring ....as long as that is under 450 pounds all gassed up? That might not be too miserably heavy....really I wish someone would build me a 300llb 125hp 75 torque....something that has like 300 mile range. wheelie on command haul ass in the rough kind of thing ....

[@stringandreed]

Adventure ride? Whatever! You all ride bikes away to big for the mission at hand. You can’t even dig your own bike out because it’s too big. If that’s your idea of adventure than your having a great time.

[@clonSanG]

real life guys not every one can afford bmw bikes or ktms and to be picked up like that can you not fix pn the side of the road enough of you for protection ?

[@EscapeFromRealityAdventures]

Jim Goose hey Jim! Thanks for watching! That bike That needed support on the side of the road? Was not an expensive BMW or KTM. It was a rather affordable KLR, five Kawasaki. Arguably the most popular adventure bike in the world.

[@dougiequick1]

A flat tire and the bike has to be trailered ? Seriously? All those guys and you don't just fix the tire? What? Tire totally destroyed? I would think a few tires would be hauled along with...no?

[@josepg.2479]

Dakar legend? Just for finish dakar race? Jajajaja, so... There would be hundred of legends finishers. Be serious please

[@randysnodgrass9402]

What a bunch of kooks
