Hello from Albuquerque!!!! Haven't made it to Silver City yet - want to get there one day on the Harley and ride the loop!! Love the pix!!!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
