Long day at the "office" repost
I work as a construction manager and safety officer for a general contractor. Now that I have a large enough bike I get to have long days at the office where I just ride mostly. Here's a trip I made a little while back. Thaought you all would enjoy it.
Well a long ride any way. I got paid today to take a ride. A nice 100 mile round trip kind of ride so here was my desk top for nearly 2 hours today. http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...swinn/desk.jpg I had to take care of some business in a town north of here called Taos. Its a nice ride and instead of going up the mountain in this case you literally go through the mountain. These mountains: http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040685.jpg We really think of these as mesas, which aren't considered proper mountains really. Into the gorge http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040689.jpg http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040695.jpg http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040696.jpg Getting deeper http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040702.jpg http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040705.jpg http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040708.jpg http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040711.jpg Climbing out, the beginning http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040713.jpg The top http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040717.jpg http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040720.jpg Taos downtown http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...n/P1040724.jpg The Suzuki was amazing all the way the highlight was passing a Harley at the steepest point with ease. ;D The bike handles far better than a scooter should. Hope your day was as nice as mine ;) |
Damn it, show the bike :D

Here it's hard to take pics of the bike when your sitting on it. This was on the way home from Taos on another trip but it works

Great pics you shared with us. I'd like to make a trip out west one of these days, probably as a camping trip. |
I've been kicking around the idea of having a scooter rally at the company's bed and breakfast in Chama, NM... Plenty of camping nearby

great pics, I would love to take a ride around scenary like that. what kind of mileage do you get with the suzuki?
|
Depending on weather, terrain, speed, and how quickly I want to speed, it gets between 55 and 66. It gets 66 if i ride it slowly but I rarely do...
