    Now that is downright hilarious. Where you took that road, I came west on 92 out of Stearns then turned north into Monticello over the 4th of July weekend. I'll have to head back down there now (besides, I liked 92)

        Finally got out for a nice ride this last weekend. We rode up to Cloudcroft and on over to Sunspot. During our ride through the White Sands Missile range, I notice I kept loosing speed. Bike was running great no missing or nothing. I then took my hand off the throttle grip and noticed it had separated into. It was a two piece grip from the looks of it. Anyways, pulled the outside part off and was trying grip the inner piece, wasn't working too good. Got into Alamogordo and stopped at the Yamaha dealer. Found some sport grips, installed them and we went on about our merry way. Gonna have to replace those as well, they aren't thick enough for my hands. Was a nice ride all in all, heat wasn't an issue either. Forest was nice and green from all the rain. 100_1403.jpg

            Well, get down here and ride! Sept, Oct and Nov are probably the best riding months here. I know the roads you would enjoy as well.

              Go out once or twice a week to a giant parking lot to keep my sharp turn, swerve, quick stop and slow speed maneuvering sharp. Keep the bike loaded helps train in any circumstance. Grinding Pegs of course but working on throttle control though the turns, it's allot of fun. I get this 700lbs bird right over...

              Brought the camera with me today...

                    Took a late night ride to one of my quiet spots of contemplation, and well......contemplated. ... While there, 2 Screech Owls could be heard in the nearby trees. Very cool to hear. A short but nice little jaunt...

                        Night riding would be the best if there was no wildlife darting out at you... I went rhe long way home last night 30ish miles.

                            Interesting, I recently read a 10 lb Parrot rifle was used at Fort Abercrombie (on the Red River of the North) during the Dakota uprising in 1862....thinking "that's a pretty big rifle" but you've found the BIG one!

                              That plaque was only added 3 years ago, very interesting info, and I'm glad somebody payed to do that.
                              I thought this gun was a moster infantry piece dragged around by horses, but no it's a naval gun.

                                I hear there are some Gorgeous roads out there in MI... Might need to make that a stop on my ride out to the Brown County Rally next year!
