 Read what some past guests and publications have said about us... |
 "My wife and I just got back from
celebrating our honeymoon by riding beautiful Baja with the crew from
Baja Bound. Sure beats sitting
on a beach all day drinking cocktails out of a coconut!
Tim and Jennifer, thank you for your generosity in making our trip a
special one, we'd like to come back for our 1st year anniversary!We can't imagine riding Baja any other way - bags waiting in our rooms after a long day of riding, excellent food and lodging, bikes prepped for us in the morning, and expert guides showing us trails we'd never find on our own. We'd like to say its the trip of a lifetime but then thats assuming we won't be back! Good luck racing this year!" - Matt and Ti, Portland, OR. "The
better you ride the more technical trails Tim Morton can take you on.
He watches you ride and adjusts the loop for your skill level. FAHQ MC went on the sickest trails he could
find and we loved every minute of it.Well worth the money and better than listening to sombody elses noisy kids at a resort!" - Jerry Bernardo - FAHQ MC - Victorville, Ca "Tim/Jennifer, You and your team (Jim,
Aaron, Flako) did an awesome job for
our 2007 Illinois BAJA 1000 Race team. The XR650R was set-up
just like you said and it performed
flawlessly. The two support trucks and support crew took care of all our needs
plus they were great people to be with and their BAJA experiance
helped our team finish. 306-X could not have finished this event
as well as we did without you all. Rolf, Scott, Jeff & Ben
will have many stories and memories to last a lifetime. Have a Merry
Christmas & Happy New Year" - Len Hofmann Team
MGR (post
Baja 1000 letter)Tim, Congrats on your Factory Honda Ride and an amazing finish. It appears Honda did indeed make the right choice. Our whole team was pulling for you guys. I thought your podium speech was the best we heard that day- super real, humble, and thanks for sharing the story. It gave me goosebumps. We had an amazing, magical time. You were our Obi-Wan Kenobi through the whole experience. I want to thank you again. Literally, we couldn't have done it without you. May a thousand blessings flow your way. I'm truly inspired by your generosity." - Scott - CA "I just returned from a 5 day trip with
Baja Bound and am already looking forward to my next trip. Tim
and his crew are experts at what they do. This is Baja with all of the enjoyment and
none of the headaches. The variety of riding, the lodging, and
the food were all part of great experience.You see beautiful country and get a real feel how the people in Baja live,all from the seat of a dirt bike. Tim,Jim,Tom,& Pete were fun and interesting to be with, both on and off the trail. Thanks to Jennifer for putting together a great group!" - Dave C. - California " What a great trip! Everything went
well shipping our bikes to and from San Diego. The riding was way better than I had
envisioned. I thought that it might be geared more for junior
level riders, but it wasn't. I like the daily crash fund
it put someincentives on not crashing. There is some awesome
scenery in Baja. The hotels
were very nice and the meals were also great. Mike and I are already trying to figure out how and when
to get back down there for maybe a northern Baja ride with you."Thanks for a great trip - Scott ("Mr. Oregon Guy") "It's obvious that you don't need anyone
else telling you what a great job you do. I am sitting in a hotel
room after a long meeting and dreaming of Baja, looking at the photos
of my recent trip with you (wish I took more), and trying in my head to
schedule the next trip back there on another great adventure.Thank you for a very "bitchin" time. That must be Tim's favorite adjective, "bitchin". And, it was! From the riding, to the company, to the bikes, the scenery, the people, the food, and all of the other stuff. Everything was "bitchin". Keep it up. I can't wait to come back." Mark K. - Lake Forest, IL. (and thanks for the fantastic gift Mark! Tim M.)
"Tim and BB gang-
Thanks for the awesome trip. I
can't decide which was better- the riding, the food, or the partying!
Here are a couple of pics you might include on your website. My favorite is of Tim and the camel. Mathew put some more online at...... Already looking forward to the next time the guys from Oregon can get Baja Bound!" Ryan J. - OR "Hey Tim, just wanted to drop you a line
and say thanks again for another awesome trip
through Baja!Things were a little "fuzzy" Saturday morning when the wake up call came at the San Nicolas. I recall thinking "I could sleep in that van", and the next thing I knew we were on the road! Once again you provided us with wicked trails, and great places to stay, eat and of course drink! I think we have enough stories to last us until we can all talk our wives into letting us go play in Mexico again! Thanks again, [Applause] - Lyle R. one of the crazy Canuks (eh) "Hey
Tim, I wanted
to take the time to say thanks for the great trip. This was
something
I wanted to do for a long time. Now I can't wait to do it
again.
You guys sure put on a great ride and provided a great service.
You guys had all the bases covered. I also want to thank Jen,
Jim,
Dean, and Tom, you guys are great." - Aaron - Santa Cruz, CA

| "...the
main
course was epic trail-riding, and lots of it. ...our grins
stretched
between both ears from only the first day in the saddle. By the
fourth
day we had achieved trail-riding nirvana. ...In the US you'd be
thrown
in jail, and possibly crucified, for riding on the beach. In Baja
you
can do it for miles on end with no ramifications other than an
adrenaline
rush. ...we all knew we were fortunate to be experiencing such an
epic
day of camaraderie and riding. Yes, it's a lot of money, but when
you
add up all the expenses and consider the luxury of a dependable guide
and
support staff, it's hard to believe Baja Bound makes a profit" -CYCLE
NEWS magazine, June 2000 |
| "...I
have to
confess that when Tim Morton of Baja Bound invited me on his Mexican
adventure
tour, I immediately envisioned a bunch of flat, cactus lined dirt
roads
in the desert. Boy did Tim prove me wrong! ...The rental bike
selection
consists of an arsenal of bulletproof Honda XR's, available in 250,
400,
or 600cc engine sizes. ...which is very reasonable considering the
excellent
condition of the motorcycles that are offered (referring to the cost)
...Single-track
can often substitute many of the fire roads, and trust us - Morton
can
make it as gnarly as you want it to be." - DIRT RIDER magazine
story, February '00 |
| "...Morton
runs
his tour business much like he does his race efforts, with massive
preparation
and well-organized support crews. ...You can either ride the
two-track
race course or some truly epic single-tracks, because Morton knows them
all. ...In short, Baja Bound does everything to make sure you stand
on the top of the podium of fun." - DIRT BIKE
magazine,
October 1998 |
| "...Baja
Bound had provided an excellent ride and service that would please even
the pickiest of riders. You won't go hungry and you'll always get
a
great nights sleep. As we rolled across the border I was already
looking
forward to our next Baja excursion." - CYCLE NEWS
magazine,
October 1997 |
| "The
trip
was the best adventure vacation I've ever had. ...and
believe
it or not the relaxation I experienced is still having it's effects on
me and those around me. Your crew, the stops for snacks and lunch,
places
we spent the night, all were absolutely fabulous... Sincerely, your new
friend." - Terry B. - Oregon - Intermediate level rider |
| "...I
had so
much fun that for the past week, I've got withdrawals! When I start
thinking
of the ride again I get depressed. That's when I force myself to
start
thinking about next years ride and I pull out of my depression and work
on getting a serious Baja woody! I like to talk about my trip to my
friends and all I can tell them is that I've never had so much fun
on
a dirtbike in my life!" - Dave F. - Maryland - Expert
level

| "Thanks
for
the great Baja adventure! My wife and I have ridden in Baja several
times on others tours, but you showed us routes and sights we had never
seen before. Laguna Hanson followed by Ramona's gas station - what
fun! We especially appreciated your ability to read the varied levels
of
riders so that the more experienced were challenged while my wife did
not
feel threatened. It is one of the few Baja trips (with other companies)
on which she was not injured. We will return!" - Ron V. - New
Jersey
- Novice level rider |
| "My
expectation
of Baja was rolling hills with sage brush and hard packed dirt. But
much to our surprise, Tim knew how to find more, a lot more! ....all
of Tim's bikes are immaculately prepared. Unlike typical rental bikes,
all of his bikes had scratch-free plastic and were set up the same way.
Even the Acerbis handguards looked new, all of the levers were
straight,
and they all had brand new rear tires. In fact, if the bikes weren't
numbered,
it would be hard to tell them apart..." - Tom S. - Tennessee -
Expert
level rider, Exerpts from his ride report posted on the net. |
| "I
wanted to thank
you for leading one of the most outstanding adventures I have ever
participated
in. I have had the good fortune of participating in organized
bicycle
rides, scuba diving trips, and many motorcycle activities both street
and
dirt. None of the past activities offered the total package that
you
and your support staff afforded each of us during the days we rode
Baja. The planning that went into making everything work efficiently
was
evident. The outstanding condition of the bikes, the choice of sites to
stay each night, and best of all, the riding areas were super." -

| "I
just had
to write and let you know I had a GREAT time in Baja! ...You
and
your staff put on a great trip. ...thanks for all of your hospitality."
- Terry G. - California - Expert level rider |
| "I
learned to
ride a motorcycle in Baja 3 tours before joining Baja Bound. I
never
had so much fun as I did on your tour. Baja is endless as long as
you
are with a guide like you that knows the trails. It was my nephew's
first
time off-road and your sweep rider kept him safe AND stoked! The
homemade
Tequila at Mikes in not to be missed and the lunches were the best I
have
ever had on the trail. I can't wait for your Mision Ride in '99 to
Loreto.
I'll be there and I'm bringing friends!" - Len B. - Connecticut -
Novice
level rider |
| "I've
ridden
in Baja with you about 10 times, and every time you show us
new,
great places and trails. But every time I try to ride Baja on my own I
get lost. You have a lifetime sponsorship from Applied as long as you
keep showing me all the great areas in Baja that you know! I'll
even
buy the first round at Mike's bar!" - John Duffy - California -
Owner, Applied
Racing Products - Expert level rider |
| "Please
add
this to your collection of thank you letters that undoubtedly grows
after
every trip. Brian and I both had one of the best riding experiences of
our lives last weekend. The way you handled every aspect of the
ride
was more than we expected. It couldn't have been any better. Thanks
for everything." - Mike Garrett - Parts Unlimited So. Cal.
Sales
Rep. - Expert level rider |
| "...It
was,
by far, the most enjoyable off-road ride I've ever been on.
...everything
was first class, talk about spoiled. We rode beautiful
two-track
trails down the Pacific coast and challenging single-track in the
mountains
near Mikes Sky Ranch. If you have never ridden Baja, treat yourself.
If you have and dread the planning and organization, call Baja Bound!" -
Brian C. - California - from a letter printed in Cycle News,
May 2000 |
| "...My
compliments
to you and your crew (and Jen), we could not have asked for a
better
group to take care of us. The bikes, the trails, the food, the
logistics...
everything was what we had hoped for and more. There is no doubt we
chose the right company to take us to Baja!!" - David B. -
