Wow, that's pretty intense, Kawboy.  Hope you took some pics to make it more believable.     Where's Onstar when you need them?  Hope you can get it fixed or out of there without too much trouble today.  Did you get blisters?

No pics.  Don't ride out there with the camera.  I wish I'd had it, though.  I would have taken picture of the area in order help find it.  I tried to get to it today but could get there.  I can't go the way I was riding.  That was a footpath size trail.  I was just starting down a wash when it died.  I have to try and find it coming from the opposite direction.  Got to find the right sand wash.  I tried for about 6 hours today but the wind and dust became too intense.  Starting my work week tonight.  It may have to wait til the weekend. 

Kawboy,  Please let me know if I can help.     My service MGR at Harley was the state Champion Desert Racer for a few years and was found one day (out there)  with his bike on top of him, and a hole burnt through his leg.   2 months later he came back to work.   

     And yes.  you're still da' man.

Beats fallin' in the tub, right ?


On a lighter note. I was looking for a good shot of Acoma and found these.  Second pic on the sight... creepy.   Me on the right.
It was two weeks before the U.S. Championships.  I had received a call about coming out to their race ( bicycle road race. Sorry to bother you speed freaks),  they thought it would draw a crowd .        describe crowd ?          please...it's me

Lost you at the last word (crowd) ?    Perfect   

At least you kept reading.


I'll just stick to moto riding content.



On that subject.    The drag strip is open on weekends now  (chicken strips are cool out there).   The price is super cheap. and for all you gearing geeks.  This is the place to check out your choices.

If you haven't been your missing something really fun.     I think Italian bikes are welcome on their track.   

See ya down the road

Well, I missed DucNight tonight.  But, I have an excuse.  Really    . . .     Legitimate.  I had every intention of making it, but it waqsn't in the cards.  Nice day today, I decided to go dirt riding at the end of Southern.  Got there, unloaded and took off and had a good ride and workout all at the same time.  Got back to the truck, gassed up, ate some potato chips, gulped down some water and took a break.  One last run before heading back.  Oh, I must have been about 8 or nine miles out just getting ready to head back   . . .  and everything came to a screeching halt.  OH, sh_ _!  I get off and look down and there is oil pouring out and the chain stretched tight.  I was down in the sand washes and the truck was on top of the mesa.  I hiked 5 or 6 miles in my MX boots climbing up the mesa until I finally ran into some guy plinking away at some targets.  They took me the last 3 miles back to my truck.  I didn't get back home until 7.  If I hadn't ran into those guys it probably would have been dark until I got back to the truck.  Not fun.  More of a workout than I was counting on.  I'm glad I'm in pretty good shape or rescue might be searching for me.  The bike is still out in the desert and tomorrow I must see if I can find it again and if I can get it out of there.       

you u can always call us we'll be right there to help ya....

Call me if you need a hand. I work tommorow night but I'll be around during the day and I owe you one. 

Thanks for the offer but I didn't want to waste your time not being sure if I could find it again.  Wednesday was a bust, but the ground I covered that day helped me get to it today.  Again thanks. 

whats everything thinking this week?!?!?!

I don't know.  I'm easy.  Just pick a place.         There's a place we went to once before but I'll be damned if I can remember the name of it.  Central and Yale maybe?  Just across from the university.  Just a suggestion. 

Where ever we go, I'll be hitting it coming back from a ride.  Speaking of  . . .  I'm heading to the VLA tomorrow.  If anyone wants to join, let me know.  Bright sunshine and high in the mid to upper 70s.  Perfect!  Can't waste a day like that!   [moto] [moto]

If it was a pizza place with lots of TV's in the back, across from the Frontier, it was Saggio's.  I love that place.  If I didn't have the contents of my garage spread all over my backyard, I would bust ass to get down there for a slice with you all.  I manage to hit it every other trip one way or another.

THAT'S IT.  Saggio's.  You win the $64,000 question.

What you need is a bigger garage up there.  Why don't you make the whole back yard a garage.  You can get all your vehicles in and all your junk   . . .  er  . . .  stuff.     And still have room for wayward bike riders.   

So is that the plan for tonight?  JB and I are going to try to make it there, as long as no snags come our way today.  And I have never been there, so where is the best parking?

It's not on Yale like I thought.  Here's the address:
107 Cornell Dr SE
Albuquerque, NM 87106
(505) 255-5454

It's basically on the corner of Central and Cornell.  There is parking on Cornell and behind Saggio's.  Good pizza.
