To bad I didn't have time to join you, looks like I missed a great ride.
My abbreviated ride to the crest gave me a chance to get a good feel
for the twisties and let my bike do what it does so well.  :)

 [bang] Haven't been riding....Anyone up for a ride tomorrow (Monday 05/12) up North...Maybe High roads...Eagles Nest..Taos?  I'm game for another plan as well.... [moto]

JJ

Hey JJ my son has HS graduation stuff Mon & Tuesday. Usually free those days. Next week? Would like to take the high road to Taos! Lets ride! Come down to duc night, this tuesday we are leaning towards Two Fools again the owner invited us and said we should call a head and he will hold a table. Let someone or Krystl know if you will come. BTW this is my new name Hyper is retired as I sold the Hypermotard. I have added a 05 S4R to the stable! So now I am a Monster freak or Hunky Punk which is a gargoyle fountain type monster or short for me, Lorenzo.

 [thumbsup] Sure Lorenzo...I had seen your new bike...looks awesome! Post it up and I'll ride along...I'll show up at 2 fools if that is the destination...See you there...I'm out on the ride tomorrow...If anyone else is interested, let me know and I'll check again before I fire up the Duc tomorrow! Got a new cam..so expect pics...

Oh yeah, since all of ya know me as JJ, here I'm as JJ!  [beer]

Nice ride... [moto] Met Kawboy and had a chat with some Americano...Did Crest twice then and burnt some rubber...Yeah, changed plans on ride to save Taos/Eagles Nest trip for later with more company...

Left the battery at home.... :'( no pics...

Rode the crest and then found a back way to the top of the twisties on south 14.  After that went to Coffee at Dawn and who should appear with a mighty rumble.  JJ on his 999.  Had coffee and chatted for a bit then he was off to the crest and I headed home.  Had some things to do so no all day ride today.  I'd post some photos but it seems I'm not allowed.  That option is not available under the "additional options" tab.  Moderator, HELP. >:(

OK.  Got it.

JJ on the phone with broker  ;D
(http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm203/feckert/CoffeeatDawn.jpg)
Coffee At Dawn.  The only 2 beasts there.

Found a website for bike info:  Suspension setup, tire changing, etc.  Check it out.

http://www.gostar-racing.com/club/useful_information.htm (http://www.gostar-racing.com/club/useful_information.htm)

We cant attach pics on this website.  Instead, use shutterfly or photobucket (which I use).   Upload to one of those sites and then when you post a reply here, merely type (http://www.yourphotolinkhere.com)

voila!  photos appear

Awesome Kawboy!!! Just what I needed....Thank you!

EEEEks ugly me...I so much hate my pics! Ah well, broker being my Mom..saying you were supposed to do a 5 mile ride and be back home!  ???

Thanks Kawboy...like I said good chat...Good ride....

Am caught with my would be bro'nlaw through weekend...But, any riders Monday noon time or Tuesday? Will have to ship the bike in two weeks...want to maximize its time in NM [moto]

I was actually thinking "yummmy...." (coffee at dawn).  I am definitely planning on riding Monday and Tuesday.  Just realized I have to call my folks and see if they are going to be in Oklahoma next week.  If so, I need to run over and see them so then no ridin for me till next weekend.  I'll know later this afternoon.

No Oklahoma next week so I am up for a ride Monday, Tuesday, or both.   :D

I think hyperhunkypunk suggested a longer trip, maybe up to Taos, ending at Ojo Caliente in the afternoon.  We can meet you somewhere up near Santa Fe, JJ.  All suggestions welcome!

Hey.  I'm up for a Taos ride.  Haven't been there for a while.  Monday and Tuesday is supposed to be in the low 90's.  Taos would be a nice comfortale (read cool) ride.  What day, what time.

 [thumbsup]Perfect...Have to drive and drop the guest at 9:00am on Monday at the airport and should be ready by about 11ish in Santa Fe. If you want to meet up anywhere here around then let me know and we could do the high roads...I drove up that way to Taos today and came down the low roads...No probs... [moto] Wow...can't wait...

Okay, so we set it for Monday around 11AM in Santa Fe.  Where's a good place to meet JJ?  Also, Kawboy, shall we meet in Bernallio somewhere to ride up together around 10AM?  I think hyperdude was interested, but not sure if MOnday will work for him.  Maybe he can change his postal plans for another day.

How about the gas station (I think it's a Conoco) at the I 25 and 550 exit.  It's right next to Denny's and Mickey D's.  10 AM works for me.

Fine by me.  Wish me luck.  I'll shoot for 9:15, should be there by 10:00.   [thumbsup]

Since we are going to Taos, you could meet me on 285/84 St.Francis (intersection of Cerrilos and St. Francis Chevron station)...Or if you are taking 599...Let me know some place and I'll track it down...Thanks...JJ

Works for me!

I have been going back and forth all day. I really want to go but I am having horrible headaches today and i dont think I can ride tomorrow. I am going to try to take it easy. I want to go but unfortunately I need more rest. Sorry, Lorenzo.

 :'(  Hope your headache goes away.  If you feel better and change your mind, meet us up in Bernallio or give me a call and I will swing by on the way. 

So we're set.  Anyone else, you'll know where we'll be and when we'll be there.  The more the merrier.
Tylenol night cap, Larry. 

So are you meeting me in Santa Fe around 11ish at Chevron (St. Friancis and Cerrillos...opposite Dunkin 'n' Donuts) ???

Absolutely!  Be there or be square!   8)

 
;D A friend of mine here (Diane) says it exactly the same way....You'll hear the Duc from ABQ... [moto]

Firstly, ton of thanks to Bonfy and Kawboy for patiently waiting in Santa Fe for my 11ish to turn out as 11:30!
But what a ride! Awesome....High roads to Taos, small town of Cundiyo and more on 503, Eagles nest, Redriver fudge gobbling and back through low roads by the Rio Grande into Santa Fe....Temperatures between 74 to 87F. Moderate roads...& Kawboy I gurantee can make his GIZMO disappear on the sweepers in a jiffy! Bonfy as always at her best....& ofcourse, lots of circus on the Duc by JJ!

Here goes the picture tales....
Two good gangstas with a ton of patience...Thanks!

Wrong code JJ, you wanna use the one with the [ img] at the front and [ /img] at the back. [thumbsup] It won't have the spaces though, I had to add those to avoid the "X"
(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm38/joel_jacob/CIMG0607.jpg)
here ya go..... ps by clicking on the above codes peeps can eye ball your whole photobucket album, you may want to set it to private if you have personal stuff in there.

 [thumbsup] Thanks...will try and modify....

& Done!   [beer]

Well , I offer my version of the day then, quite similar until things got a little IZ_ after the fudge stop. 

It was a fabulous day for riding.  We met up with JJ in Santa Fe.  Since he already noted the route, I'll just post up some pictures.

JJ would like it to go on record that his chickenstrips are considerably diminished from the last time they were posted.

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/100_2865-1.jpg)

Follwoing the guys through the curves up to Angel Fire, JJ was like a monkey all over his bike:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/100_2864.jpg)

Fuel Stop in Eagle's Nest:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/100_2846.jpg)

Fudge Stop in Red River:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/100_2850.jpg)

Back to Taos before gliding down the canyon and saying goodbye to JJ:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/100_2852.jpg)

Kawboy wasn't done riding yet so he rode the back way down from Santa Fe and kept me company:

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc120/bonfygloria/100_2861.jpg)

That was a blast, guys!  I'm in a calorie coma from all that yummy fudge. 

WOW!!! GREAT BONFY FUDGE DEVOURING PHOTOS. GLAD YOU HAD A GREAT TIME. IT TURNS OUT I WAS NOT UP FOR RIDING YESTERDAY EITHER, FINALLY FREED UP BY 930 LAST NIGHT IN TIME TO GET A PHONE CALL FROM MY SON WHO WRECKED HIS FRIENDS CAR. UGGHHH!

Looks like fun!  We need to do that again soon! [thumbsup]

Yeah, man, I had to get my fudge on.  I bought enough this time to make it out of town, but it's gone today.  Note my tagline.  My passion hath taken vengeance on my leathers.  I am blowing seams everywhere.  Time to cut back or start crawling all over my bike like JJ.  He kneedrops every radius, even into the gas stations.   [laugh] 

 [evil] A Duc cries for stylish riding...Need to mate with it using passion and vigor!  ;D The bonding is an agreement that "Thy shall ride me upright on two wheels forever...strictly no kissing the asphalt!" [moto]

Oops!  That let's me out!   :(

C'mmon you ride great! You were sweeping the S14 the other day ahead of me like I started riding the previous day! You've got talent lady! [thumbsup]

Thanks!!!  You are too kind.  I still find myself picking gravel and asphalt out of my riding gear at the oddest times.    [cheeky] 

 [cheeky] Aww touching! But, two falls and a lot of riding (6000 miles since last Oct) has made me light years apart in riding in a short span...Things happen for a reason and the best lesson is to learn 100 ways to avoid the reason and KEEP RIDING MORE AND MORE & ... [moto]

Buy some new leathers! Stitch a patch on the leathers or put something on the bike as a win over all previous EVIL and as a sign of change for better...brighter...spankin fast Lance Mistress... ;)

Ooopps! A 28 year old newbie trying to be a shrink!  [bang]

Alas! I'll miss you all....tons and tons...sobs...sobs...

Those were pearls of wisdom and incredibly uplifting, as well.   We will miss you and your great spirit and smile very much.  You make sure to  post pictures of your riding in the Blue Hills of Kentucky on the NMMR so we can keep up with you.

Hey JJ.  How much do you charge per hour?  My Ex needs a shrink.  Talk to her.  Maybe I can get out of my alimony payments!    [laugh] [laugh]

 ;D Alimony... ??? As far as pay...Lets do away with cash and talk in terms of how many Duc's you are ready to throw in my garage starting with a Desmodecci [beer] They forgot to mention through my technical schooling that all the $$$ lies elsewhere anyways... :-[

Anyone up for a Jemez, Bandelier, Madrid, Albuquerque run on Saturday or Sunday?
Roughly 200 miles round trip. [moto]

Hey Zaster, that is a cool ride...my usual route...Unfortunately, tomorrow my bike climbs the truck to Ohio! :( My Duc days in NM have come to an end...Have fun and hopefully, I'll join you in future...

Hey Karl I would ride to Madrid, but I cant do any long ride I am getting ready to leave town in themorning. Call if you are interested I can go soon. Larry 505-345-1919

hey Karl, I can do that on Sunday if you can!  gimme a shout  [moto]

Sunday works for me especially since it is going to warm up by then.
What time do you want to get started?

what about 2day i am about 2 walk out the door, madrid, santa fe n14?

Still a bit cold right now, how about 11:00?

Hey JJ,
Sorry to see you leave...enjoyed riding with you.
You are right about the Jemez run. I hadn't done it in 20+ years
and was impressed by the scenery and the twisties.
We'll miss you :'(

Here are a couple of pics from our Sunday ride:

(http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn127/zaster99/S4RS-1098Jemez.jpg)
(http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn127/zaster99/Bandelierride.jpg)

Glad you had fun...I could have joined you today...They didn't have space for Duc and the Old '72 2-stroke GT750...rest is all gone! But, they took my gears!...Darn...Left to wait for the next truck and I have no helmet or leathers...Misery! [bang]

Word has it that there is some interest in doing the Jemez run again tomorrow morning.
We would stop in Santa Fe to hook up with Dusty and Kingbaby and head towards Jemez Springs.
Options are to continue to ABQ or turn around and do the twisties all over again [moto]
Anyone interested please post up ;)

Yep!  9 am at Coffee at Dawn?!

Works for me [thumbsup]

chop chop boys (& girls) LETS RIDE !

hey jj,  we know you can't ride with us, but we are still in town for a couple of more days, and would love ta' hang with you if you have time.  coffee, dinner. what ever. pm sent

Gee I want to go at 9 on Saturday and no one can make it. Then the cops throw their lights at me and mMarcus on N14 but we get away, then king baby calls outy for all riders and they come..........did DDGM buy at tennineight or what????!!!??? Congrats? BTW is that an S model? If it is I am in awe.....???!!!???

I forgot you were out of town hyper!  Though for sure you would be with us.  We had quite the adventure and will post up the stories as soon as we get pics from king and dusty

anyone riding this weekend?!!?!?

Not till Sunday for me.  I am taking my bike over in a few here to get my rear tire put on.  Between Ruidoso and ABQ, I actually split a seam!  I am at 7000 miles on that set.  When I left Ruidoso it was fine and I had a tire ordered to go at the 7500 mile service.  I turned white when I noticed it putting the bike away.  A strip of white up the center of the rear.  I paid a $1.20 fee on Hwy 55 south of Mountainair.  I would say Lance and the Paladin were at their posts that afternoon.   :o  Anyway, Sunday afternoon for me and of course, Monday and Tuesday before I give him up for the service.

Listen here young lady.  You got to control the right wrist when the rubber's getting thin.  All the king's horses and all the king's men cannot put bonfy and Lance back together again!  Nor do we want to think about it either!  A$$ chewing session done.   ;)  Do I sound like your daddy?   ;D

Wow, even I got scared at that tongue lashin!

yeah, bonfy, what ^^^^^ said!!

The rubber looked fine,I swear.  I thought I was actually replacing the tire a little prematurely.  It's my leathers that are wearing a little thin...Dad.

I gotta go to work now so have at it. 

i will be up for a ride tuesday! either really early morning, have an appt at 230 or i can ride after!...

hell we can do a loop around jemez eat some grub and then go to docy, after that hit the crest  [thumbsup]

I hope to get my bike back sometimes on Saturday after the 7,500 mile service is done.
I'll be up for any riding action after that and likewise on Sunday. [moto]

AWESOME RIDE TODAY! JEMEZ LOOP WHOOOHOOO! KRYSTL YOU MISSED A GREAT ONE!

i can tell  :-\

but i didn't sleep worth of shit and i showered and ate and body was like "ummm i donthink so mouse"

What cool pictures! You are the Beautiful People.   Looks like you guys had a great time.  Did you see any of  PJ's group?  I set my alarm to ride with them since they were leaving a little later, but I set it for PM instead of AM.  I would've only got a quick hour and a half nap so would've been a pull anyway.  I'm wit ya on dat, DucMouse. 

Better late than never!  DucMouse and I made it out this afternoon for a make-up session.  DucMouse was breakin' in her new leathers and I was breakin' in my new rear tire (some more).  Not that many twisties between here and Chaco Canyon. 

There's the gangsta chica now blowing by me through the turns on the Crest:
