Another busy day in Albuquerque.
We started with a breakfast across town with a group of Goldwing riders. We caught up with Deane who came out to Australia with Jack in 07 and Dennis who rode with us in 07. I passed on hellos from John and Kaz.
Deane interrupted the gathering and introduced us. Everyone was happy to meet and we had a good breakfast anda nice time.
Then back to work. There was shopping to do. First thing was to the Goldwing accessories shop. Headlight protectors and scuff pads. Then on to camping goods stored to compare tents. Ended up with a rather large one for $50. Then a few other odds and ends for camping. Back home and pack up the trailer and do some more work on the bike. Found out the AUX input for the sound system was not operating. Turned out it was a loose plug. Only problem was the plug was under the top cover. That meant a half hour removing the top cover and, of course, an hour to put it back on. All working again. This was quite important to fix as the GPS talks to us through the AUX and driving in a strange country it is not a good idea to be taking eyes off the road too much to look at the GPS screen. Better to get the voice warning of upcoming turnoffs.
So all packed and ready to go in the morning. We'll stop riding around in small circles Davo. Larger ones now. Really large.
The apple pie and ice cream? Well, while we were all beavering away on the bikes and trailers, Linda was keeping us fed. This evening's meal was pure Americana. Hamburgers, hot dogs, home made with all the trimmings and followed up by home made apple pie and ice cream. Not bad at all. And nothing like Maccas I can tell you.
Nite for now - got to get some shut-eye before our big day tomorrow.
Here's a good bunch of Goldwings to look at. Enjoy.
Trikes are very popular here.
Yes I know that is not a Goldwing up there, but it is Deane on his latest acquisition, a 750 Honda Nighthawk - yellow of course.
