Spoke to Karl a week ago about a ride to Taos. How many of the crew are interested in the ride after Karl gets back? Maybe end of this month or beginning of October. I've never done the ride and sounds cool!

Sounds like fun.

Mucho Fun-O [thumbsup]

Let's keep an eye on the weather...

What time are we meeting in Tesuque?

Sounds good to me.

Ok so the general consensus at cad is a ride to Taos on Sunday 9/29. That's this coming Sunday! I'm excited! I've never done the ride. Karl will be back but haven't heard from him but I hope he up for it! Any input?

If everything goes as planned with my return, I'll be in [Dolph]

So, what's the plan, folks?  If anyone still wants to go I wouldn't recommend meeting before 9:00 in the morning.....when the mercury is finally supposed to climb above 50 degrees.

You guys know the route. A front will move through with snow in higher elevations. How does that effect the ride. And Scott, you saw my front tire. You think it's ok for the ride?

I'll check on the snow condition with my family up North today and let you know.

I'd love to join this odessey, but too much catching up to do around the house.

The snow got down to 9,000 feet which is definitely higher than our route.
The temps won't be all that high which is OK by me.
I'm game if anyone else is going.

I can go either way. I'm kinda on the fence but I'm in if we can get a group going

I can meet in Tesuque at the Chevron ;D [Dolph]

Did you mean Pojoaque?

Red Gloves and I are going to meet at CAD at 9am we talked about riding to the Tesuque diner for some blue corn pancakes. Thats about as far as I'm planning on riding. L'Scott come down to the diner around 1030! We will be there

then you can get gas after at pojoque........or what ever....ride safe everybody. Jim and I are riding monsters

Thanks for the heads up since we usually meet at Pojoaque.  [thumbsup]
See you at CAD at 9 and plan to ride with L'Scott up North.  [Dolph]

That sounds lke a better plan given the weather, Larry. I'll see what I can do about joining you there.

Your tire should be fine, Jeff, either way.

9 am @cad

I knew it was "something" que...

This actually sounds civilized ;D  Is the Tesuque Diner easy to find?

L'scott it is right in the middle of tesuque. there is only one road in and one road out

It's frikkin' cold this morning.  You guys have fun.....I'm staying warm!

Ride safe guys!

Dead battery... Gonna be a few minutes late   [bang]

Was great riding the High Road with you L'Scott  [Dolph]
Got home at 6 P.M. since there was a head on collision before I got to Penasco.
I waited 10 minutes and since there was no traffic moving in either direction, I turned
around and headed home via the canyon.
The bonus was that I got to do the twisty part of the High Road twice ;D [clap]
I'm a little tuckered out after 320 miles but the ride and the weather made up for it  :D

amazing weather today! nice ride to teuque. we had a decent ride back to Q

Wish I could have been there... Was all suited up and ready to go, started the bike and it revved to 3K instantly. I think the high idle control is stuck all the way on (fuel injection speak for choke all the way on).

When the bike revved my helmet fell off and broke one side of the shield off.

Wasn't meant to be.

Next time.

Sorry, that sucks! Or you may get lucky with a deal on a new helmet and visor!  [thumbsup]

Glad few of you got to put worthy miles to Taos and back!

I don't need a new helmet, just a visor latch mechanism.

Dropping a helmet without a melon in it from 2-1/2 ft doesn't do any damage (nothing to compress the foam). When you hear otherwise, they're just trying to sell you a helmet.

Would have been a blast to have you guys with us [Dolph]
Just glad to get that ride in before the first snow  :D

Haven't done one this year, anyone game in the near future?

Let's do it!  [thumbsup]

I'm in before the 20th

This Saturday, September 6th, or Sunday the 7th?

Instigator  ;D [laugh]

Yes and?

im saying sunday

So, I will definitely be back in New Mexico this weekend!!!  [thumbsup] ;D

You're fired.

Will you be back the following weekend?

Yup

I'll be home tomorrow night. Let's ride!  [Dolph]

 [popcorn]

The weather forecast looks better...who's in?

still in. leave from here? n14?

L'scott...meet you in Santa FE?

Seems like we usually meet at the gas station in somethingjoque...

930? I got no confirmation yet but I'm going!!!
Prolly Karl too...dunno who else doesnt have a life and wants to ride ducatis on a sunday  :P

Larry,
We can leave at 8:00 and meet L'Scott at the Chevron in Pojoaque by 8:45 if that works for everyone?

Workin' for me  [thumbsup]

I dont think we can get there that fast

sounds like warp speed captain

Isn't that what you usually do  ;D

...or 1hr 10 min if you want to go the speed limit  :D

so N14? You want to come here at 8?

Can do  [Dolph]

It looks like the weather is not cooperating...  [bang]

We'll meet you in Pojoaque and go from there

Too bad for the shitty morning weather in Taos, it cleared up by the time we got there.  [bang]
Thanks Larry and Jeff for coming out to play  [Dolph]  [clap]
