My buddy and I would haul our bikes behind the rv and head out to Pagosa Springs, Co,and Durango area and ride in the area up to Silverton, Uray and other points.. Both of us had Road King Classics. This was during the time they had a rally down on the Ute Indian reservation at Ignacio, The gangs from the west coast would be coming into the rally about the time we would be leaving late in the afternoon, them some rough customers, most were trying to take weapons in, some had multicell flashlights, which I assume they were afraid of the dark hence them carrying them. (duh), into the rally , but the deputies were pretty well searching . They were a pretty tough looking bunch , let me tell you!
I fell in love with the area and bought a house and 35 acres at Chromo, which is about 25 miles from Pagosa Springs. Since I was at 8000 ft on a winding dirt road up to my place , I never hauled my bike out there during the time I kept he place, Eventually sold out there just before the housing market fell and made a profit. I just saw that the owner just listed the place for 100k less than I sold it to him and that's just his asking price.
I am afraid of heights, and while riding on the mountain roads ,kept pretty well to the center of the lane , especially where the edge of the road beds fell off into the deep chasms My buddy told me that was getting awfully close to those log trucks coming up or down the mountains, told him I rather take my chances with them than going off one of those durn cliffs...
