Without all this help, I wouldn't be racing. It's that simple. This Solo attempt has been a goal of mine since the mid 90's. I feel very lucky to even have a chance to do this race , hopefully all the hard work (and $) pays off, and this 39 year old man makes everyone proud.:ride:

Wow man, you got some massive cahones to solo on a 50! :ride: But I'm sure you'll make it, those XR's are BULLETPROOF! :lol:

Thanks for the link! Best of luck to ya. I know you'll do us TT'ers proud...





PS- So you're gonna do it on a "50" eh?:lol:

Go Ron, Go!!

If you are in need of anything, look for the 10x signs and our crew will be happy to help.

We could even bring spare parts for your 50 if needed.:smirk:

Good luck, have fun

#1 What tires are you running on the fifty?

#2 Did you re-jet it?

If you need a spare XR-50 for pre-running I would be glad to help you out but I would really consider pre-running with a XR-70.

Good luck I will be rooting for you!

Good luck Ron. I'm obviously a little biased and hoping 308x stays in front of you, but I would still love to see a solo rider show all these sissy 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 man teams how to ride! If anyone can, it's SurfNRide :ride:

Ok-So here's a baja newb question: Whats with the flat black paint on the front half of the front fender-I've seen a lot of bikes done this way?

To reduce/eliminate headlight glare maybe?

Sweet ride SNR!

Correct. Same reason the underside of visors are painted flat black... glare is no good.

Go get'em Ron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck Ron. How bout a few tequila shots Thur night? I'll buy;)

Between tracking SNR and keeping fingers crossed that Thumpermom can get back over the border, this will be a big weekend.

Wave as you go by, I;ll be at RM 351, TT #30 team!

Hey there Little Bro....nice photos!


I'll be watching your Spot and can't wait to see you at the finish line:banana::banana::banana:




Proud Sis

Just so everyone knows, SNR will be Tweeting updates at each pit on race day.

Ron,
I will be chasing 103x and the Kroeker GT truck on the east side through Villa T; we will keep our eyes peeled for you and available for anything you need. See you at the finish...expecting big things bro!! Smart and fast, be safe!

Kevin, I think the podium would require one of your miracles. Can God make 4 or 5 bikes blow up?

Spot link -- I borrowed Gabriel Williams Tracker -- I think he wanted to see it go really fast for a change. lol... So, when you see his name, that's me.

Re-Prunning tomorrow and sat - ensenada to ensenada. (skipping that pesky little san felipe mess), staying at Mikes sat. night. Tequila on me!

Ron

Buenas Suerte carnal

SNR: a true gentleman and talented athlete. Looking forward to watching and reporting on your status.
