400+ mile round trip. Been with friends, been alone. Gonna go again before its 100 and more.
Good biscuits and gravy, thats worth 200 miles anyday.
Obey the speed law in NM. They spend alot on State Patrol. I hadnt even come to a complete stop and there was one behind me, asking if I had a problem. Great Guys.

No reason to feel inadequate, Stanley. Short rides are OK once in a while. Time does not always allow for a long distance breakfast ride and no one holds the short trips against you. You will get her out to stretch her legs (500+) soon |
