British Motorcycle Gear

That photo above could also be in our Phavorite Photos series.  It’s the motorcycles on one of our Baja rides (all CSC RX3s) parked outside our rooms at the Don Gus Hotel in Guerrero Negro.  That photo has always been one of my favorites.

Not fancy, not expensive, and comfortable:  That’s how I would describe the Don Gus Hotel in Guerrero Negro (incidentally, that’s also a pretty good good description of the RX3).  The Don Gus is on the main drag on the left as you come into town, and it’s nearly directly across the street from the more well-known Malarimmo’s.   The Don Gus has a nice bar and the food is great.

Malarimmo’s usually fills up quickly when the California gray whales are in nearby Scammon’s Lagoon (that would be from January through March).  There are at least a half-dozen hotels in Guerrero Negro, and the Don Gus is the one I’d go for if Malarimmo’s is booked up.  The Don Gus is less expensive than Malarimmo’s and the restaurant maybe isn’t as fancy, but it’s a good place to stay and you won’t be disappointed.  If you want a whale watching tour and Malarrimo’s is full, let the folks at the Don Gus know the night before and they’ll hook you up with another tour company.  They’ve done so for me many times, and I’ve found that once you are out on the water who you tour with doesn’t make a difference.  They are all great.

Looking at these photos….man, I have got to get my knees in the breeze and point my Enfield south.  I am missing Baja big time.  Gresh, you up for Tony’s fish tacos?


When you ride in Baja, make sure you insure with our favorite:  BajaBound!
