Default the Okies are coming, The Okies are coming

ok im a goofy mood and if terry needs to move this to the members rides forums i can understand but i wanted to put it here so i could mess with you Texas guys a cpl firedns and thier wives and me and my wife life loaded up and left Elk City oklahoma yesterday and headed south, 1 real nice Ultra, i really slick SG and my RG, we were just out to have some fun and catch some wind. We wound up down at Red River HD by Wichita fall Texas. I gotta hand it to you guys they are a dang friendly bunch there and nice facilitiy, i was able to research some parts for my RG and all in all was a postive experiance there, Now we didnt have anythign seefviced or make any major purchases, but they staff there was great. was a good personal atmosphere, not a your just a checkbook like i have ran into. after we left there we kinda set a lazy pace and headed home stopping at a cpl places to throw down some chow and just genrally chilling, i think when the wife and i got home it was just over a 400 mile day and a heck of a lotta fun. in a nutshell RR HD is well worht stopping by at and a big thansk to bret and jim, 2 forum mebers i meet on here that invited us. it was another one of those trips that maybe didnt go for days and break any land speed or endurance records but one of those you never forget.

Glad you had a good time. I live in NM and the wife and I are planning a road trip for our anniversary. There is no way she can do 400 mi in one day. We have a lot of casinos around here, and I want to avoid them. Was thinking of Ruidoso, but again, there is a casino, and the wife and I always fight about her gambling. Any advice for a trip leaving out of Albuquerque, less than 200 mi in any direction?

Taos, Eagles Nest, Red River area. The drive from Santa Fe to Taos is worth the time and it only gets better after that. The drive from Eagles Nest to Cimmarron and back is a beautiful drive. About an hour each way.

Next time, come on down deeper into Texas!!! I never met an Okie I didn't like, and I can't remember us ever shooting one because of where they were from!!! LOL Glad you had a good ride, they are priceless in my opinion.

Thanks Beary, I have done those loops a lot in the past year or two. I was looking for something different, but think I have hit them all.
