South Latitude
Mexico 1976
It was a long ride. I was doing a test for Yamaha Parts Distributors in those days. They needed so many thousand miles on the pannier brackets. So I did a realistic test: from southern California to Cabo San Lucas and back to La Paz and then via ferry to Mazatlan, then northward along the Pacific coast (where this foto was taken, in Los Mochis) and then back to California.
