Met a guy and his wife from Montreal. They ride a 1991 Fatboy all over the country.

He said they rode through Phoenix when it was 120 degrees but the leather channeled the air to the oil tank and kept it at 200 degrees. Anyway, nice guy.

Thanks. Next time I'll do it in a car. Lots of gravel roads I couldn't/wouldn't ride on. White Sands was like riding on the beach right after where I was parked. Barely scratched the surface seeing that place.

Was at White Sands a couple of years ago. Super cool place. I even liked Alamogordo. There's a museum there that was cooler than I expected: Museum Of Space History

A favorite photo from White Sands...

Good post, thanks. We have been to many of those spots, makes me want to quit my job and hit the road full time.

Enjoyed scrolling through your photos from the sunny Southwest, especially as the riding season is winding down here in the north country. Thanks for posting.
