Well that's green valve caps down south in Texas on my car.. Things are probably different in Derbyshire and everywhere else. Texas is different on many levels.

I am not entering the debate, merely pointing the way !!! :D :lol: I like that statement! I can't add to the conversation, but it does raise more questions for me to ask my car shop next time I take my coupe in for it's check up. The last time I took it in, I notice my tire valve stem caps had been...

Ed White (r1150rider- member #9) passed away a couple of weeks ago. I didn't see it mentioned here so Im doing so. Ed was a gentle and kind soul and will be missed.

Doc - your ride reports are always the best. I'm enjoying this one the most I think (minus any derogatory remarks about Texas!).
Unless I missed it, you did not say whether or not your dinner at the New York Hill was good or not.


Ride and write on!

What? No report about Llano? Llano is sweet! Seriously - that was an excellent report. I'd say the best yet in the Travels with Stella! I certainly found some new places to add to my list of places to see while passing through NM. The photography was the best yet also. Thanks for taking the time to ...

Texas laws are not as strict as NJ laws.

http://jld2.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/New-Mexico-OctNov-2011/i-NJKjg3S/0/XL/NM2011-203-XL.jpg Awesome photo! I have wanted to go to that national wildlife refuge for a long time. I was reminded after reading about the Bosque del Apache refuge that there is a wintering ground for Whooping Cranes not f...

Great report still and great photos.

How many miles could you go with the spare fuel in those canisters on the back of your side cases?

I had the road to myself, though I soon started getting to small Native American communities, school was letting out, and I remember this as being pretty cool. All the kids, grade school, hurrying off the bus, with me on a red motorcycle, them looking and me remembering how it was to be 9 and seein...

So you didn't see any ghosts? Did it have a creepy feel to it like Mesa Verde did for you on one of your other trips?

It's just one of those stick on roundels that usually go on helmets. I think I ordered it from Sierra BMW.

Thanks for the kind comments. It was an awesome month in Wyoming!

I agree with NoRRmad. I read that in the system case manual. However, I have also tested the cases at sustained speeds over their recommendation with no problems. (I'm so over those speeding days now though).

Boxer, you know about Post, TX???
Azle isn't anything like Post.

That was a cool way to do a ride report. I enjoyed that.

Why was the bridge closed down in the first place?

That was a great ride report. The mountains are beautiful and the roads look supreme. I noticed the Jetboil....... and then a couple of photos later; china? You packed china for your tea? :D That's great! I love the color of the R1200R. If I were ever to trade my 1150 on a 1200 - - that would be the...

Azle, Texas? Geeeez, no one who knows better EVER stays there!

This is going to be good. I'm looking forward to it. Although I've never caught the enchantment you feel with NM, I'm teachable. Write on!

I don't have an answer for you, but did you see this post from earlier this month? Maybe something similar?

Bike Dies When Handlebars Turned to the Right

Cool odometer pic. I see the pattern, but that's the best I could do. Figuring out how you did it would give me a brain cramp! .

Great report and great photos, Jim! And your first report too? I know it takes a lot of time and effort to put together a report. Thanks for taking that time. I've been on many of the roads you mention and it was fun for me to see the photos recalling memories of rides there. I agree with your asses...
