Great pics, Burque.
Everything you read about street murals say that the "tagging" blight is almost eliminated.

I'll take that as a compliment! Just similar looking machines I'm sure. When my 850 grows up it wants to be a GK!!!
Found this article about the murals. Not a music club, my mistake.
[h=2]Brainbow Alley[/h]
Photo by Sommer Smith
Lead Artist: Larry Bob Phillips
Year: 2015
Location: Alley behind 516 ARTS
This mural is a ?mash-up of high and low culture, art history and comic books? says 516 ARTS. Brainbow Alley, located in an alleyway between 5th and 6th street just south of Central, is a mash-up of skeletons and humans locked in a never-ending battle. Think you recognize someone? You probably do. The artist chose to depict actual people living and working in Albuquerque. Brainbow Alley demonstrates how alleys can be transformed into spaces of creative expression. And you thought you knew everything about this town?
The Pac Man mural was tagged over recently and replaced with Mario. Tagging is still as despicable as ever!
Har har
I challenge you (and anybody else). Just don't leave it out when it is snowing.
The little lights are better at outlining shapes (if take more time and effort than I did).
The bigger bulbs (like I used a few years ago) are better at illuminating the bike so can see what it is better.

A few of us went out for a Saturday lunch ride, didn't turn out like we were expecting. One of our riders went down at a place we call Dead Mans curve and yes it is called for a good reason. They were very lucky, this could have ended up being deadly for sure. As it was, if they had been wearing safety gear, what injuries they did get would have been largely negated. ATGATT people ATGATT.

I too hope they heal up fine and fast. What is with the curve? Were they going too fast for their abilities or just what was it that caused the crash?

Hey Bill,
That place looks familiar. Did we take a ride up there?
Hope the rider heals up. Agreed...ATGATT.

It is a blind S curve that goes up then down. Several have gone down there, a couple have died. It is a 35mph curve and some riders don't expect it being blind like it is. Most drift to the right and catch the edge of the road and well... Here is a pic of it going into it heading north.

Which route did we ride up to with all those curves? It was a great experience with the curves and hills mixed in.

And here is a pic of the accident site.
As you can see you can't see the other side.

Geez...really sorry for your friend. Hope they heal up without any long lasting issues. I just don't get it when people ride bikes without the gear. What bike were they riding?
Hope the rider recovers well, but I don't see anything daunting about the curve.
Not sure the purpose of post if no explanation will be provided.
Was it the lunch, group ride scenario, speed, unattentiveness, target fixation or what?
Don't see how ATGATT would have changed the end result.
Sure the injuries would have been minimized, but the error lies with the rider.

This is the explanation...
You know the signs--could have been a combination of all. To say, "Not sure the purpose if no explanation provided" rubbed me the wrong way...especially when replies afterwards were positive until your remarks.

I'm merely curious what the cause was, none provided.
I can't think of anything "positive" after a crash, except to be still there to ponder it.
What signs, combinations are we talking about?
