New Mexcio highway 337
#1

I unretired last week, at age 77, with the purchase of a 2024 Yamaha Bolt XVS950 (now XVS95CRB).
173 miles Tuesday with over 300 miles first week.
Highway 47 from Belen is desert.
Highway 60 changes from desert to forest.
Mountainair is 6,000 feet elevation.
Highway 55 is mostly farms up to Salinas Pueblo Quarai ruins.
Photo of similar ruins at Abo posted previously with 2023 Moto Guzzi V7-850
Highway 337 on the east side of the Manzano Mountains goes through beautiful pines at about 7,000 feet elevation.
It joins Interstate 40 at exit 175, east of Albuquerque.
Circled home via I40 and I25.
Topped off in Albuquerque at 136.1 miles with 2.213 gallons for 61.5 MPG.
87 octane fuel was $3.299 compared to 86 octane in Belen for $2.99.

Bike is stock other than
Auxito H4 headlight bulb
194 LED license plate light bulb (run/stop is factory LED)
Rear fender rack
Rack case

The case holds a battery powered tire pump, Dynaplug kit, rain jacket and strap to secure a jacket over the case.

Score to date:
Honda: 8
Yamaha: 8
H-D: 2
Triumph: 2
Moto Guzzi: 2
Can Am: 1
This bike comes with a toolkit under locking left side cover, but the only Yamaha tools retained in the kit are the two open end wrenches.
