[ST] It happened in Texas

[Dan Wallander <newsgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I feel like I got a new bike yesterday.  After a couple of years and 
admittedly only 12,000 miles of my own, I have turned my '74 R90 over 
100,000 miles, it now has 268 miles on the ODO.

I had this fantasy of turning the bike over at some spectacular spot, of 
which there are many in New Mexico, however, it rolled 1 mile short of 
the NM/Texas border north of El Paso at an RV dealership.  Oh well...

I got a last minute invite from a college buddy of mine whom I haven't 
seen in somewhere around 17 years to come and meet his family in El Paso 
over the weekend.  I thought, what the hell and went.  The Beemer's got 
a new battery and a tire with about 600 miles left in it, why not?

As a ride report, it's pretty boring, I-25 south for a bit over 250 
miles, the alternatives aren't all that inviting.  The upside is that at 
85 mph, 85% of the traffic was passing me, even the Highway Patrol. 
Makes for a fast trip.  the other upside is I wasn't trapped in a cage 
and the weather was perfect, if a bit windy.

Now I've only got about 50,000 miles left to put 6 digits on the ST's 
odometer.  I'd better get on it!
