All I do anymore is ride.

I get home from work, put my helmet and my jacket on, change my boots, put on an album, and ride. Come back home, eat, go back out until I'm tired. Go to sleep, wake up, go to work, and repeat. Been like this for a couple weeks.

It feels weird. It doesn't feel wrong. I just look around and it's odd to see that this is how my life has turned out. I'm sad and I don't even know why anymore.

That about sums it up for the non-Air Force Harley riders. Clovis has a couple of decent restaurants, but most of the people are trash. Alamogordo has a lot of poor/trash too, but there's more shopping, restaurants, and general shit to do, not to mention the mountains.

>As one Wall Street analyst recently put it, Harley-Davidson continues to get squeezed in the U.S. from several factors.

>"As is usually the case with Harley dealers in election seasons, many pointed to the political environment and economic uncertainty as the main factors [for sluggish sales], and from an economic standpoint, dealers in heavy agricultural and energy regions have been the hardest hit, as has been the case for some time," said Wedbush Securities analyst James Hardiman in an April 12 note to clients. In addition to economic uncertainty causing people to delay buying a bike, Harley is still feeling the heat from a key competitor.

>Hardiman continued, "We estimate that 80%-90% of Harley's overall market share losses in 2015 went to Polaris (PII - Get Report) , and that even after stripping out auto-cycles (Slingshot and Spyder), Polaris gained about half of Harley's lost share."

The key is to keep smooth on the throttle, use mostly back brake in looser dirt/gravel, and don't be too "tight" with the bars. On bikes, the right tires help, but you can go on dirt just fine on street tires as long as you don't get hektik.

There's a lot of hidden beauty in the state once you get off the highways. On pic related trip, I wish I had brought the DR (hadn't bought it yet) or my truck. Still, the Miata handled it OK but I'm missing a lot of undercoating now.

Cruisers are a great choice to learn on. The low end torque means you don't need to apply any throttle to get going 15mph, and because they suck at turning you get wide berths in your U-turn test.

Helmet speakers, and earplugs. The earplugs are already good at not killing your ears with wind noise and such, but combine them with helmets speakers and it helps stop the high treble from killing your ears, and makes the speakers sound better.
