Cool Bikes
Even though it’s winter, you still see lots of cool motorcycles on the streets around Albuquerque.
Ural Patrol
One wouldn’t think Russian sidecar motorcycles would be common in New Mexico, but with a little searching I discovered there is a Ural dealer in Santa Fe, the “city different!” This model lists for $13,699. There are eight sidecar models available from $10,499 to $14,350 and one “Solo” model offered without a sidecar for $7,999.
Caffe Solo
Harley Solo and the Lonely Caffe (sounds like a good name for a blues band) seemed to be the morning theme as I walked across Gold to the office.
Medieval & Motorcycle
Leslie Webster’s talk on “The Staffordshire Treasure: Art and Power in the Seventh-Century Anglo-Saxon England” was wonderful. The Staffordshire Treasure was buried in a remote spot near the old Roman road o Walting Street near the end of the 7th century. It was discovered in July 2009 by a local with a metal detector. The stash consists of over 10 pounds of gold and 3 pounds of silver military accouterments, such as parts from swords, studs and trim for horses and saddles, buckles, crosses, helmets and so on. It’s the largest and richest assemblage of treasure from the early Anglo-Saxon Period.
Chemtrails, Bikers & Puck
The “chemtrails” as some people call them, more commonly known as “contrails”, made quite interesting patterns crisscrossing under the sun this morning. As the temperatures continue to warm, I’m seeing a lot more bikers on the road. Laurie left the door open to the study so the cats could be in it with her the other night — Puck was very happy to lay in his favorite spots he missed since I put the door on the study.
Harley Parts
As a passed some clean, sparkling Harleys parked at UNM on my way out of class today, I couldn’t resist doing a couple of close up shots. We got our midterms back in French 385 this afternoon, and we both got A’s — but Laurie scored a half point higher than I did so now the heat is on!
Peace on the Go
As this motorcycle passed me while I was doing 60 mph on the way home this afternoon, I just held the camera against the side window and pressed the shutter when I saw the front tire in my peripheral vision. I guess he noticed my camera, because he gave me a peace sign that luckily was in the frame.
Blue Flame and Candy
A couple of Harleys parked downtown and The Fusion Factory.
Never STOP Loving
Our new neighbors pointed out the the “Never” and “Loving” on the stop sign at the post office was the only graffiti they had seen in Corrales, and it was positive. It’s been there for months so either the Village or the PO can’t decide whose responsibility it is to remove it or since it’s not offensive there is no reason to remove it. I had ignored it all this time, but tonight I thought it was appropriate to start off the week of Valentine’s Day. I also noticed that people are putting up “Valentine’s lights” in the fashion of Christmas lights in Corrales. Out of the lights I noticed on my way home tonight, the bicycle with flowers was the most interesting.
A silver chopper was parked in front of Cafe Giuseppe this afternoon, but it was blocked by a planter and a truck, so I only got a portion of it. I would of had to stand out in the middle of the street to get the whole of it, but I was loaded down with stuff and had deadlines that precluded risking getting ran over by a bus for another view of a chopper.
