Title: A Mid corner correction in New Mexico Post by: paso87 on September 09, 2019, 04:41:34 PM I just attended the Bavarian Motor Weekend (BMW) rally in Sipapu, New Mexico. Sipapu is a ski resort in the Winter and they have summer activities as well. It is located about 20 miles SE of Taos, NM. We camped out and rode the bike around Enchanted Circle and to Cimmaron, NM. Anyway we had just had breakfast at Michael's Kitchen in Taos and were heading back to Sipapu on NM State Road 518. There is a section of three near 360 degree corners and we were going uphill into one of the corners when a white Chevy Corsica crossed the line and came two to three feet into my lane. I was approaching the corner about mid way positioned in my lane. When I saw the car in my lane I backed off the throttle and steered the bike further to the right in my lane and then applied throttle to make the corner. If I had been hugging the yellow line he would have taken my wife and I out. What a jerk!
