    It's nothing fancy but still in great shape. The PO said he put it on in the late 80's.



    The back rest has square shaft that pokes through the seat and a hex head screw holds it in place.

    There were some interesting sights on that route for sure. A motel in Mountainair built in the 1920's, which I've posted pics of in the past, and some burned and collapsed buildings from that era as well. My wife said it reminded her of the new cartoon movie Sing which had a collapsed theater. An almost identical scene in fact. The neat part was riding along side the train in between Mountainair and Rio Communities. The tracks and road are sort of parallel and we raced to the crossing, jumped over the flat empty train cars all Dukes Of Hazzard style, and landed on the other side safely. Just kidding, we waited at the crossing a long time and I dreamed about it though, hahaha.

    Here's the route we took, except not up I-25 but Hwy 47 instead.

      We had a "South Texas Biker Bash" this weekend. A 3 day event. A lawyer friend and I went yesterday morning. Not many people there. As we were leaving around noon, several groups were coming in. I forgot that many Harley riders are probably still hung over in the morning, and that's why there weren't more when we got there. I think I was the only inline 4. Next year, I don't think I'll go till noon myself.



      I didn't realize they still made Royal Enfields. In India, this time. These ran about 6 grand. I'm thinking I could find something more stylish and dependable for that amount of money.

          Yeehaw is nothing but a little hole in the wall wing place and wild chickens haha. Nice ride out there though as most of that area of sr 60 is fresh paved with a quite a few long sweeping turns. Very low traffic, and no police officers.. usally. Haha so i took the opportunity to find out just how fast the old #grandpascrotchrocket really was

            It's funny you mention Halford, I had my Pandora on Judas Priest radio most of that ride yesterday.

                  Still need to work on the Chicken Strips, on my Harley:

                  200 miles on the kids today...

                  170ish miles on the Harley... Trying to make it as comfy as possible. I think raising the seat 2" helped HUGE

                  Did break the TUX out too!



                  Finally a gorgeous ride!!!

                    Just over 40 miles today for Charmayne's longest ride so far and we had a great time.




                    I then took Cheyenne out for about 30 miles to give her some riding time but no pictures

                          Out for a Sunday afternoon ride.

                          Went by a friends house and saw he had is GTO out.

                          Is a 66.
                          He got it as his first car at age 18 in 1969, and has it it since.

                          Put a larger engine in it in the 70s. And repainted it in the 90s.
