Packing up for a lap of the Baja cape loop. I've got a rear rack, cargo cages and front bag to go on still. I like how the bike looks in this form and thought I'd share. Any tips for Baja riding?

Looks awesome. Who makes your frame bag?
Wow, that’s a cool bike. Someone’s going to and we’re all curious….can you tell us about the bags?
The Cape Loop is great. My GF and I did it over 10 or 11 days and it felt like a real vacation. There were a couple of spots that were challenging but overall I felt the route rewards you more than it works you. The food was good too, some great places to take breaks, awesome camping, and I highly recommend taking at least a half day off for a snorkel tour in Cabo Pulmo. It’s a little pricey for snorkeling but I am so glad we did it, the amount of life in the Sea of Cortez is incredible.
Also, in case you are like me before I went and know nothing about Baja, it’s a weird place. There are a lot of American and Canadian expats, and a lot of rich vacation homes. You’ll see some very humble local houses and in a few miles get to some ridiculous mcmansions. The expat culture in some of the towns is strange but we got out of towns fairly quickly.
