Join Clement Salvadori, one of the most popular motorcycle journalists of our day, as he personally leads you on a tour
South of the Border. From TJ to Cabo, Salvadori knows Baja, having been a regular explorer of this grand peninsula
for more than twenty years. Somewhere in between the must-see and the better-left-to-your-imagination spots of tourism
and commerce, exists nearly 800 miles of the real thing: luxuriously uninhabited beaches, charming adobe missions,
quaint fishing villages--most as yet unspoiled by modern man.
Unlike other guidebooks, Motorcycle Journeys through Baja rates road conditions from the saddle of a bike, being
frank
in its evaluations of both the rugged and the tame. Accommodations get the same entertaining, honest treatment as the
roads! But, did we mention the food? No worries, Salvadori does, and with the enthusiasm of a cafe gourmand. With an
irreverent and enlightening commentary, the author ticks off resources and attractions, milepost by milepost, logging
the quirky details that make traveling with him a delightful discovery. And no question about it, all your questions
will be answered regarding necessary paperwork, legal considerations, insurance, personal health, useful phrases
of Spanish (". . . Mi moto es muy rapido . . ."), road sign translations, and additional sources of information.
You've probably enjoyed Salvadori's taste for the open road (both paved and unpaved) in his many articles as a senior
editor for both Rider and American Rider magazines. The next best thing to traveling with Clement Salvadori is following
his tracks as they disappear over the southern horizon. This book will point the way.
