80km? Are you Canadian?
You could also ask him about cold weather gear, since his idea of cold weather will be about the same as yours, 55degF
...... . . . . er, um, 13degC
Wet weather gear? Them Garage Queens never see rain. ��
Just kidding, I know Trevor has ridden in the rain several times. But you'd never guess it as clean as his motorcycles are. ��
20210123_121233 by Roger, on FlickrLooking for inspiration for a new weekly pic game theme, I went to the old train station downtown. Couldn't come up with a theme from it, but I really liked the pic.
20210123_124723 by Roger, on FlickrLater in the day, my son came over and we both set out for an evening ride. He ran out of gas on the interstate, or rather didn't switch to reserve in time. This scared the crap out of both of us. Over the Sena intercom I heard him say, I'm losing power....Uh oh,, it's dead! Being in the left lane here in town on I-40, he barely made it to the right shoulder. I was about a quarter of a mile ahead of him before I pulled over too. He pushed and coasted to where I was and we struggled to get th eengine started again. Fortunately we were close to the next exit and a gas station was right there. Rather than sit and fart around on the side of a busy interstate, we rolled to the gas station and pumped a little over 4 gallons into the tank. After the carbs were primed with gas it came back to life! Now he knows about the reserve feature.
Here are the lights of Albuquerque as seen from the West side of town.

Well yes, I have a fair amount of experience riding in the rain...lol...I go with Klim gear....It's not cheap but like anything else in theis world. if it's good it's going to cost you.
My best wet weather equipment is my Klim Overgloves. Light weight waterproof (and I mean waterproof!) two finger gloves that instantly make any glove you are wearing water proof. I keep them in my tank bag as the toll up small. Also not cheap at just over $200....best money I ever spent.

Lol...that's why I bought the BMW...I call it my rain bike.
My pleasure.
Those buildings are called the railyards. They've bee shooting movies there and holding a local market thing on weekends. It looks like it should be condemned, but is actually very useful the way it is.
They should just put a cash register on the other side of that sign.
Lovely picture, Roger.
The entrance to that community, or village of Corrales, had a sign on the main highway that read "Drive slow, see our village. Drive fast, see our judge!" So, yeah, a cash register located at the bottom of the hill isn't far from truth. Troopers carry mobile card readers and accept PayPal now though. kidding
15 mph speed limit? Downhill?

I'll tell you if there is one thing I learned about travelling in the USA it's DO NOT speed coming or going from small towns. There is always a cop there. From what I'm told it's part of the town's financial planning to catch tourists coming through. Lol
Took this on on Wednesday as I headed out.
