            If my wife will be my passenger does she need to register for one of the 10 spots?

            Building things is exercise for the brain.
            Riding motorcycles is exercise for the soul.

                Hi Jacob. Yes. She needs her own spot. Unfortunately, I’m still working on the registration module and fine tuning it so as of right now I haven’t added tbe “plus one” option. But if you like to sign up for your and your wife I can definitely note that on the backend. Please let me know.

                Thank you,

                                Ladies and gentlemen, Harry and I are in process of reserving rooms. Of course, couples will get a single with queen or king based on availability.

                                You single riders, please reply with your preference: single individual room or bunk up? And please let us know who you’d like bunk up with. I personally don’t get roommates but that’s just my personal preference. Please let us know. Thank you in advance.

                                                  I’m pretty sure most of you have read/watched the news over the weekend about the violence and unrest in northern Baja. If you haven’t, here’s an article:

                                                  https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-08-14/cartel-violence-peters-out-in-tijuana-after-violence-leads-to-national-guard-presence

                                                  I do not want to sound insensitive towards your concerns and if you feel this trip is not for you Harry and I totally understand. We will prepare a statement,  an updated event detail with a must-pay-by date, a cancellation date and a waiting list option for those who are thinking of not going. Please expect an email to go out later this week.

                                                  Thank you,

                                                      Ladies and gentlemen, Harry and I are in process of reserving rooms. Of course, couples will get a single with queen or king based on availability.

                                                      Henry, we’d prefer a King bed if available. Gracias!
