Hi Wayne. Welcome. This particular thread is not the place. It’s a rather silly but fun thread about the ramblings our mascot, Stator. You’ll want to start your own thread in the GS Owners Forum and introduce yourself and your bike(s). Before you do, I see you figured out how to create a signature. Some people will add their bike info: year and model(s), maybe your first name (I’ve assumed it’s Wayne).

Hello waynewhite welcome to the forum.
As Rich82GS750TZ said this isn't the place.
Do feel free to introduce yourself. It'll be read and approved.

Can you tell me why there is always a line. Is Sparky's a chain of restaurants or is there just the one? I'm guessing that this is in Albuquerque?
Cheers
Paul
So where is Stator? No one has posted pictures in months and I?m hoping the virus hasn?t gotten him
We have lots of mom and pop burger joints, but I've never heard of Sparky's. Must be somewhere else.
I tried to contact Stator's current host here in Albuquerque yesterday and got no reply. Stator was fine and well when Andy and I spoke last about three weeks ago. He, Andy not Stator, was traveling as he has for much of the first quarter of this year.
I'll keep trying to get in touch.

Sparky's is in Hatch NM, it draws folks from all over, El Paso, Las Cruces, etc. They are only open 4 days a week and is a mom and pop operation. They have some mighty good green chile cheese burgers among a host of other good stuff.

Has anyone seen this bear, a much valued member of the group. Is he missing in action ?. I miss the stories of his travels.

I came acrossed this fuzzy little guy at the park today. He was talking with an older gentleman saying something about walking home. He's tired of being in Albuquerque.
Hasta la vista, he said, and he hit the trail with a bunch of other folks looking for a better life somewhere else..
I wasn't long before he realized walking acrossed the desert in riding gear was a really bad idea, so he bummed a ride.
Where to? I asked.
Anywhere but here! He said.
So we hit the road.
I couldn't blame Stator for wanting to leave Albuquerque. His host, Andy Vanice, got stuck at sea unable to land because of the pandemic. Nobody wanted a strange ship on their shores so they sailed for a much longer time than expected. Meanwhile, Stator waited patiently for someone to come take him on an adventure.

We headed up into the Sandia Mountains. Bears are welcome, but these folks are pretty strict.
Another bear. Stator says he's not a real bear though. Some kind of mascot or something.
This place was selling gas for 13?! No unleaded though, only regular
Somewhere between Chilili and Torreon, NM we saw another bear.
Almost to Mountainair, we stopped for a snack and a drink of water under a shade tree. Stator ate all my beef jerky!
We went around those mountains, now it's flat and straight for 50 miles. Stator wanted to drive, but he kept stalling the engine so...
Well, that satisfies his wanderlust. For now at least. It was a 90 mile blast back home from here.

Thank you for the pictures Roger, I was starting to worry about him. Has he decided to make anymore trips? If so, i wouldn't mind having him back here again for a bit if it's okay with him?
I was worried about him as well. It was good to take a ride with him. We made another stop yesterday along with our 180 mile ride. I'll post those pics later on.
I'm sure he'd love to head out there. He heard Charmayne's bike is down and wants to cheer her up.
Just send your address and he'll hit the road in short order.
Thank you Roger; Charmayne is excited to see it again and I already have some ideas for trips to take him on. And of course he will help with the repairs.
We stopped at the National Atomic Museum yesterday. It's located right outside of Kirtland Air Force Base here in Albuquerque.
This rocket is out at the street.
After checking it out, we just had to go into the yard for more.
He was like a kid in a candy store.
Look out, here comes Stator!
I wouldn't push that button if I were you...
OK, now you're just showing off.
That tower is a replica of the one used to test the first atomic bomb at the Trinity Site.
Here's a B-29 like the one that delivered the two bombs. He ran over to look at this one.
I don't know who taught him to read, but man this kid is smart!
