Generally, the sporadic violence is in the border towns. I try to hit the border about 0830-0930 and get the necessary paperwork done, then head South the same day. I've never had a problem, especially on bikes. It's better to worry about the traffic in the border towns than the bad guys, but if you're leaving a TJ bar at 4 in the morning...trouble may find you...as it could in any city.
I like to head down the East coast of Baja...camping North of San Felipe the first night (I'd recommend Pete's Camp), then head down through Puertocitos to Bahia de la Gonzaga, and either camp on the beach, or enjoy some great tacos at Alfonsina's there....
