Taos, New Mexico

[SportsterDoc]

Weather forecast is good for a ride to Taos, tomorrow.
Route selected should provide the most mountain miles.

I've retired from M/C forums, after 21 years of posting, but thought I would do one more post on my favorite forum.

Over 3,000 miles on the V7-850 since May.

The 850 Guzzi lump ought to be a nice experience on journeys like this?

 

[SportsterDoc]

382.7 miles in 10.5 hours
Left at 6:15 AM, 52 F
Interstate 25 to highway 550 (exit 242) to highway 4.
Highway 4 was the most scenic, but also cold riding in the shadows, as low as 48F.

Will post photos after resizing

Yeah, real nice stuff SportsterDoc.

The journey must feel real organic on that V85 lump. Must feel great.

Beautiful country! Most of my family is there and I’d love to retire there someday.

I'm jealous! Beautiful place in general. Must be an excellent place to ride through.
