    Which way? If your South of Albuquerque then you're about 30-45 minutes from where I'll be.

    Wow, that's a long ways away! It seems like everything I want to be around in New Mexico is as far as it can be from me haha I think I'm in the worst area.

    Me? Haha No, this isn't a typical TDY training. There are 200+ people there right now taking turns for things. I'll be busy the first couple weeks or so but after that not so much. People are going to class at 8:00 and getting out at 1 haha

    The worst area by far is right around El Paso. That is the worst city I've ever seen.

    I hate cities too haha I lived in a town of 1800 people for 15 years and loved it. I only want to be closer to OHV parks and people on TW so I can go to meets.

    I'm going to be 8 miles West of Alamogordo...

    I lived down there for 2 years in the early-mid 70's and it was bad then, but it's much worse now, IMO. It's the armpit of Texas. :crapstorm:

    I've noticed that people there keep their license plates in their back windows so they won't get stolen.

    Right after that. :D

    Man, I almost bought a DR650 last week. Buncha mods, <4k miles, $3800. Looked nice; someone else got there first. :notsure:

    I'm not sure I 'd ride often enough to justify a dual-sport, though.

    Nice.

    I got mine bone stock with 3k miles for 2800 though. Ended up getting 3k for it after adding 5k miles haha.

    I'm not in a hurry (kind-of), but I'm thinking I'd like a big thumper dual-sport. Something I could ride to the Jemez, and then ride in the Jemez (or the Manzanos, or Mt. Taylor, etc.). OTOH, I don't want $4k tied up in something that doesn't get used much. :confused:

    I'll figure it out eventually. :homer:
