Moto Baja

Moto Baja

The new book by Joe Berk.

I've read the three previous books, and wanted to take advantage of the CSC Black Friday discount.

That would be about $20 US. Not bad.

When I went to check out, the postage was $13.

Don't think I will be reading this one.

Edit: USPS Media rate (book rate) for a 1 pound package is $2.63

I ended up ordering it through Amazon.

Had to pay full price, $23.95 US plus FL sales tax.

Free shipping with Amazon Prime.

When I finish reading it, I'm willing to pass it along (free shipping to US address).

Thank you

JB:

Thanks for being a great reader and a loyal one, too.

I did not know about the shipping costs from CSC. I'll see Steve tomorrow and I'll ask about it.

I just received my copies a few hours ago and I am really pleased with how the book looks. This one emphasizes the photography (it's in color) and I used a program that allows me to get the photos in print at a much higher resolution. I think you'll like it.

If anybody wants a signed copy, I can do that for the copies ordered through CSC.

One more thing...we're setting up the Baja run for next March. If you or any other RX3 owner would like to ride with us, you are more than welcome. You'll have a great time. The riding and the places we see are awesome. As always, we're capping the number of participants at 15 riders, so let me know early if you want to go.

We'd be delighted to have you join us. Keep an eye on the CSC blog for the dates. All you need is an RX3 and a good attitude, and if you have one, you probably have the other. Let us know via email (info@cscmotorcycles.com) if you plan to ride with us. You should buy the book, too, to get a feel for what it's all about. Maybe buy two copies.

Cheers,

I got the wife's approval to go. That was half the battle!

I finally received Moto Baja.

Another good read by Joe Berk.

At 116 pages of light reading with lots of photos, it can probably be read in one sitting.

It took me 3 sittings, with time spent perusing the excellent photos, and my mind wandering...imagining a ride to Baja.....and being chased by wild dogs.....

And city is spelled ciudad in Spanish....



I noticed that CSC has adjusted the shipping options with UPS Ground being the least expensive.

Amazon Prime is still better with free shipping.

Thanks very much, JB. Glad you enjoyed Moto Baja!

That's quite a photo (may I use it on the blog?).

And on that "imagining a ride to Baja" business...we can turn that into reality. Still a few spots open on the next run south, my friend.

As most of you probably know, Motorcycle.com picked up our press release on the upcoming 2018 Baja expedition. Here's the link.

You are welcome to use the photo.

I would love to go on the Baja ride......but it's 3,000 mile just to get to Azusa....and Steve would need to rent me an RX3..... mine has gone to another forum member who is putting it to good use.

I've finished my copy (twice now).

I'm willing to pass it along to another member of the group. First one to PM me with their address gets it!

Jeff
