We met near his place in Noreen (just a few miles from my place) and he lead a 100 mile ride through some hilly, curvy, scenic local roads. Most of the roads were new to me and I'm just amazed and what wonderful riding and scenery is available right here in our back yard. Wish I'd captured the route because now I'm looking at the map and can't remember where we went. Also wish I'd captured pictures of some of the roads and scenery we blasted past.
Here's the sweet 82 Honda rphillips brought to the party
And here's my new 09 Tiger 1050. Loving this bike and it LOVES the local roads
Here they are together at a stop we made in Gassaway TN. Store says it's open from 6:30am to 6:30pm but looks like it hasn't opened at all for a long time
Hope we get to go out and ride together again soon. Loving living in middle TN and thanks rphillips for realizing we live near each other and for inviting me out.

Been off the site for a bit, haven't been riding for about 2 months now. Been suffering some fatigue problems and was told to stay off the bike until the Dr.s can figure it out. So far all the tests that have been done have come back normal. Got two to go.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002

Were you fighting fatigue while riding? I would think riding would be the best thing for fighting fatigue. I know twisty roads are what make me feel like I'm back in my 20's or 30's or 40's or 50's again, well you get the picture. Good luck with getting back to riding again. Soon.Larry

Too much work was the cause of my fatigue. Spent a day sitting in my living room listening to the crickets outside.
Ok now.

A bit too much work this season along with loosing 30 lbs a bit to fast (2 1/2 months Dr didn't like that). It has been on going for about 4 months. The fatigue was coupled with dizzyness and light headness, not a good combination for riding a bike. Besides a 5ft 108lb girl friend of mine got in my face and told me, Mr Bill no riding until you are better you hear me!That's my Eva, she rides a FZ 09 and very well too. Actually they are thinking it is some of the side effects of my meds mabye causing the problems.
Eva on her FZ
And of course me on my GS 750E

A bit late I know, though a few pics from our NMSU's ride for the 4H Clover end of August.
Cindy and Eva, two of my riding buddies.
Our little group that rode together to Santa Fe. Cindy, Eva, Me and Lee.
Another pic of the group. The blonde on the right Gwen wasn't able to ride, she took her car and hauled our stuff for us.
Here we are on the way to Santa Fe on I-25 just outside of Las Cruces.
One of our gas stops.
Cindy on her Vstar
Lee on his brand new FJR1300

We had several stops on our ride route, here we are at Echo Amphitheater with our NM State Police Escort
Interesting story with our NMSP escort, a large group of riders left before us and we stayed behind with our escort. As we headed our way to our lunch stop at Hope lake, about 6 of us got in behind the NMSP guys. As we were riding the "speed limit" I saw one of the cops look at his partner then back behind to us. And thought to myself oh sh*t here we go...yup, one motioned with arm like let's do it. Off we went, I'll just say we didn't see anything below 95mph for about 10 miles until we got to the lake. OMG what a ride, we get stopped at the lake, Eva just about falls off her bike walking around gathering her wits, omg omg omg, I have never ridden like that before, she was exhausted and I was all wired yet LMAO. I told her damn that was fun huh, she just looked at me and kept saying omg omg. She did just fine, she is a trooper lol. She had me take the lead saying, Mr Bill can we just cruise to Taos please?? We did, actually under the speed limit even. We did a rest stop at the Rio Grande Gorge. Eva was about to press the button LMFAO
