Spent a few days with a few buddies on the NMBDR route. Camped along the way and enjoyed challenging off-road trails, took in incredible scenery, and fueled up with some fantastic New Mexican cuisine. Temperatures got as high as 114 F near the White Sands Missile Range, but also cooled down to the low fifties at altitude. The bike did well, making it seem as if I was a half-decent rider. We had minor mechanical issues with the other three bikes, but the ol’ girl fired up every time and sailed through sand, river crossings, mud, gravel, & rocks with ease. Great trip.

Two up means twice the gear! That bike is loaded down. Cool looking place! Of course I carry almost as much gear by myself!

It is loaded! By way of excuses, my wife has some walking challenge going on at work...so she (we) had to bring gear to walk 6 miles a day. The red bag is exercise gear.. Now if I could just shed some poundage!

There's a time and a place for everything but getting pussy on a freeway ramp probably isn't one I'd consider appropriate. Maybe when I'm older I'll take whatever I can get, but for now...no.

I had a picturesque ride in Northern England travelling up to the Hartside pass on the A686 Alston to Penrith road which has everything, if you haven’t done it you need to. I passed through parts of Lancashire, The North York’s dales national park, County Durham, Teesdale, Cumbria and Lake Windermere on the road home. Nine hours in the saddle and 320 miles getting a stomping 57.9 mpg.
