The American Honda sponsored # 14x CRF450x Team of Tim Morton (Baja Bound Moto owner/operator), Ron Wilson, Jason Trubey, Caleb Gosselar, and Jonah Street scored 2nd OverAll motorcycle in the Baja 1000! We were picked by Hondas Johnny Campbell and Bruce Ogilvie to represent Honda Motorcycles on their Factory Honda CRF450X "B" Team bike. The "A" Team was of course the main Honda Team of Campbell, Hengeveld, Norman, and Bell who took home the OverAll Win as most expected would happen. Not only did we Finish 2nd to the Honda "A" Team, but we also beat the Factory KTM Team! Very few people ever get an opportunity like this, to be a Factory Honda racer. We got the chance and we know we made ourselves and many people, including Honda, very proud. This was a race that I (Tim) will remember for the rest of my days.

Really, no joke, 4th overall motorcycle on a little 250cc four stroke against a field of mostly XR650R bikes! |
None of these guys had ever met before arriving in Baja for the race. Baja Bound put the entire turn-key program together for them! Here's a link to a thread on ThumperTalk.com to see some comments about it. The guys are now buddies and they're so stoked that they're racing the Baja 1000! |
