Oil light on at 1800 RPM?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

And it is mid morning facing west or southwest, or it is mid afternoon facing north or northwest. (assuming Ohio, recently).

It's a bit tricky getting gloves off, pulling out the camera, and taking a pic all while squeezing the clutch lever. Storm64, you're a talented guy![SIZE=10px]Roger

I headed out for a short sixty mile or so ride tonight, a much needed ride at that! Staying close to town I went through the Northeast and Northwest quadrants and stopped at Balloon Fiesta Park. Albuquerque has been hot air balloonist's haven since the 1970's. Here's a bronze Gondola with the founder of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
Riding on to the West into Corrales there's farm land, horses, and plenty of super old buildings. Here's one that caught my eye. Not sure of it's age but a neat looking Pueblo style building.
Lots of the buildings in this area are made of Adobe bricks. Here is a wall that has some exposed adobe.
I headed through Corrales into Rio Rancho then Bernalillo before turning back toward Albuquerque. Pretty uneventful but very nice to get out for a while. As I was getting up to freeway speed, I hit something that looked like a bat or a small bird with the windjammer. Made quite a mess and I am very glad to have the protection. Judging by the color of it's internals left behind it was probably just a large moth. Think I'll spare you the image of that.
Something funny occurred to me this evening. When our kids were little we'd say ok, go out and play but stay on the street. As they got older, maybe the block, then when they drove cars the city limits. As I headed out I told my wife, I'm going for a ride but don't worry, I'll stay in New Mexico.[SIZE=10px]Roger

I recrimped that piece on securely and shot WD-40 up into the tach hole and added graphite on the cable. That was some years ago.

Well the sun came out and I got to ride for a bit after all. Just headed south towards Kirtland AFB and stopped at the Nuclear Sience Atomic Museum.
Just south of there is where we used to ride the KLR and XT dual sport bikes and I wanted to see if the area had been developed or what since new housing is booming here. There's a cool solar array power plant here now but on the other side of the arroyo/ revine there is a new development starting.
As I putted along the dirt road I found an abandoned Ford Mustang. I'll bet it's stolen and ditched here after a joyride.
I called Albuquerque Police and they transferred me to Bernalillo County saying its out of jurisdiction for APD. Country Police said I need to call APD, ugh. Weather is coming faster than the cops. I notified both departments so we'll see who shows up. Just chillin now.....[SIZE=10px]Roger
