ABOUT ME
Lawrence Borgens – Lawrence founded Family Off-Road Adventures because of his love for the sport, people and areas that we ride in. “I noticed that most adventure-tour companies advertise ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trips that exclude most of the family. I have always gone riding as a family and enjoy extending this concept to our business.”
Growing up Lawrence was fortunate that his grandfather, Darold MacDannald, owned the local motorcycle shop so he grew up hearing names like “Honda”, “Montessa”, “Bultaco”, “Penton”, “Moto-Beta” & “Jawa”. For his 6th birthday he received a Honda QA50 and began racing right away.
Most of Lawrence ’s family also rode dirt bikes or participated in off-road racing and adventures so he had many roll models that fostered his competitive spirit and affinity for anything with a motor. His uncle, Neil MacDannald, was a professional motocross racer sponsored by Yamaha and Naguchi and his grandfather Darold built several off-road race vehicles. Darold had the most success with his Class 8 (stock 2WD production model pickup) race truck named “Old Blue” winning many SCORE races in the California Desert and Baja. Racing was a family activity and everyone got involved. This unique upbringing allowed Lawrence to grow up in a family that loves competition, the outdoors and travel. He extends this heritage to you during every adventure.
Lawrence still holds the values of family and love of motorcycles & the outdoors dear to his heart. Now he takes this passion and, with his wife Kimberley, raises their four children in an environment where the outdoors, motorcycles and family fun go hand-in-hand. Lawrence loves working with children in improving their riding skills and has coached many children through their first time riding a motorcycle.
With over 35 years of riding experience, Lawrence has ridden and explored much of the western United States and Baja with many, many trail miles in the mountains and deserts of California and throughout Northern Baja. Lawrence’s dream is to share locations of scenic beauty and historical significance with off-roaders that appreciate the people, history and beauty of the land in a fun, safe and adventurous environment.
