Earache

Today's breakfast; egg burrito with green chile and taters with a side of bacon (real bacon. not that greasy slab of crap UK bacon)....

I was aware - I was just being sensitive to those with differing sexual orientations as not to offend anyone. Besides, who would want a fresh fag? Sounds kinda odd.

Had to get outta Colorado for a bit, was going stir crazy as I can't get out on my bike. Only 6 more months of no riding to go......

Maybe you need to open a Mexican restaurant there! Casa de Pedro or some shit like that. You'd make millions.

Main course was a ground (minced) beef burrito drowned in more green chile with side of rice, Was perfect! I'll start adding more dinners to this thread so you can be sick the sight of it??

Downed 5 Negra Modelo's with dinner. Sounds like a lot but it's pretty pissy tasting Mexican beer...

Arrived in Santa Fe tonight just in time for dinner. For a starter, we had meatballs slathered in green chile. Tasted better than it sounds....

Last year's trip from Colorado to Tennessee - average over 4,000 miles was just over 61 mph. I'd guess 10% dirt roads on this ride. Top speed is obviously off from lack of gps signal,, tec.

If the dirt roads around here are smooth enough - and most are - I do around 60 mph on them. Slower on rough or more technical dirt roads. Two lane paved I usually do around 80 mph, highways a bit more. But we have greater distances to cover to get anywhere as well. Can't go too slow or you'll never get there!

I've been to several races there - it's a nice track but the facilities are kinda shitty.

Next year they're gonna race lawn mowers....

Howdy!

You certainly picked the right sound track for Dark Motorcycling.

Yes - Same hill I was on when I was near Telluride. But the 4X4 I saw flip was near Silverton - 30 miles or so away from Telluriude. Most of the mountains out here have the same kind of trails on them. Numptys in Jeeps that have no idea what they are doing are usually the ones that fall down the hills.

I think about this almost constantly.

Looks kinda fuzzy to me.

Well I named my dog, uh, erm.... Longer valve adjustment intervals is a win no matter what - but I'd miss the clatter, the "Hey mister - ya got oil in that thing?" comments, etc. Be amazing if they put a shaft on it. The only reason I bought the Tenere over the Africa Twin and Multi was the shaft.

Springs???? Do I see springs?!?!?!?!?

No, they stay outside. Pretty low key animals until they get pissed off, then they can stomp you to death but that's pretty rare. Still, anything that big get a wide berth from me.

Cold and 60 mph winds on the mountain today - so I'm staying inside. This big girl just walked through the front yard, munching on the Aspen trees...

My go slow boots are Alpinestars Corozal and my go fast boots are Alpinestars SMX Plus. Dunno what they look like when they're clean - it's been too long. I like them as they fit well and I can wear them all day with no issues. The Corozals are waterproof - although I don't think I've ever ridden in rain with them.

It might be a novelty for you, but for some of us it's an hourly occurrence.

Sorry about that - forgot you were on here.

I only have one friend that rides much and he's already on here. So I'm tapped out as far as bring more members to the fold. I suck. But I like the Forum in that we don't have a bunch of wankers on here and it's fairly small.

I usually take 285 all the way to Santa Fe when I head down there - always have as it's closer to my house and I don't have to go into Denver at all. Wife likes to go by Chimayo as well. I-25 in Denver is so crowded that we stay off of it completely.
