    2015 Hooterville 400 10th anniversary gathering Oct. 1-4

    This sounds like a great weekend. I'd like to attend but am not available. I was looking at the route map from a couple of years ago, the one that went to Bixby, then south to Doniphan then north to home base. I'm considering a ride in August that takes that route. However, I'd probably ride...

    5 Day Ride Plan - New Mexico / Colerado - May 2016

    I agree with everything stated above. Hope you have the time! Last year I spent several days in that SW quad of CO then dropped down to Aztec, NM and across to Taos then SF before heading home to KS. The only thing that may be iffy is that part of CO and any high passes at the end of May. I...

    Road conditions on NM 111

    Thanks, once again, for the info. I may continue to pick your brain on these loops that are in the current plan. If we don't deviate from the plan (and deviating is not necessarily a bad thing) we'll be nearing the end of our day for the ride to the crest, Madrid, etc. By taking 165 I was...

    Road conditions on NM 111

    Thanks again for the info on these NM roads. So, if going to the crest we'd be on paved road if we came in from the south, from 14. I was hoping for a paved road that connected I-25 with 14 so we could hit Madrid on the way back to Santa Fe after doing a counterclockwise loop out to Jemez...

    HRZ....would like some more info on a stretch in NM if you are still here. How is 165 that connects I-25 to 14? Also, the road up to Sandia Peak? Paved? Thanks.

    Re the pants: are these an overpant? How true is the size 32x34? I need every inch of both for these to work, maybe. Thanks.

    Thanks for all the info. 434 definitely goes on the wish list if not on this trip's plan.

    Road conditions on NM 111

    HRZ; Don't go to any extra trouble scouting this out. I think the unpaved part is right off of 64 so we'll probably be able to judge pretty quickly how it looks. Rutted, dry packed dirt would probably not be a problem but sand is not good. I'm not dead set against 285, just looking for...

    Road conditions on NM 111

    HRZ---We'll be going in a loop clockwise so the Espanola to Chama is part one. Then back track a little from Chama to take a left on 64 over to Tres Piedras then on home to SF. So, looking for something more interesting than that straightest part of 285 and maybe 111 is it. It looks to be 2/3...

    HRZ, thanks for the reply. The part u mentioned east of tres piedras is another days loop other than taking the turn off to Angel Fire. THAT part is for the trip home from SF to KC. From what u said about 111and the dirt we will probably go that way or down 519(?) instead of 285 which just...

    Road conditions on NM 111

    I'm planning a Santa Fe to Santa Fe loop for September. Actually, I'm planning three but have a question about one loop. The preliminary route is SF north to Abiquiu then on up to Chama. On the return take 64 to 285 at Tres Piedras then south on 285 back to Santa Fe. 285 looks very straight and...

    Hi, I'm considering the cortech 21 liter bag. 9x16x9-13. Looks like it will need to make a serious bend to fit the tank for 16 inches. yours works well?

    Harbor Freight Dolly - Who has it

    I mean this sincerely.....good luck on the ordering/shipping. If it arrives with all the pieces you'll be okay. Mine didn't and I had to call customer service (off shore, I'm sure) several times with no success. Last time I called them the person said his name was Peter Parker. I said...
