We went to Sierra Blanca Sat. and to the Guadalupes on Monday. No incidents on the bikes outside the city limits. The 42 miles north of Sierra Blanca we exceeded the 55 mph speed limit some. 42 miles turned into 20-25 minutes. My Red Suzuki 1100 still got 44 mpg! Monday I drove the entire 200 miles at 70 mph, got 48 mpg 2 up, headwind, and saddlebags (more drag). We picniced on the long hill overlooking El Capitan and Guadalupe Peak. From about a 1000 ft up we could see out 75 miles. It was a nice clear day. Hot and windy coming home.
Sunday I visited Cle who had the accident, see previous blog. He was in the left lane on Montwood, a lady was in the right lane, did not look, and pulled into the left lane where Cle was. He could not avoid her and dropped the bike. He was operated on Monday, broke his left leg 2" above the ankle. He comes home today, Tuesday.
Monday's I have been going to lunch with Sam and Charlie T. Elmer's food on Montana has improved. $6 for buffet.
This weekend we go after a 1984 Yamaha Venture touring bike with only 14.5k miles. The gas will be the expense part of the trip. Will see my older sister and brother in law. See pic.
The following weekend we go to our daughter's, Victoria, to take her our HDTV, a exercise treadmill, air compressor, and stuff she left here 10 years ago.
