Sounds like you live near me - almost everything is closed here, and I live
out in the midst of the forest. The wife and I have already moved all our
photos, irreplaceables, etc into a safe place in town... They say we're at
100% ignition (any spark hits it starts a fire)
Also wishing it would rain,

Aye, but we already got torched... Los Alamos here.
Good Luck and hope for rain. The monsoon starts next month, it can't come
soon enough. I want to turn that little drainage ditch next to the house
into a D606 mud testing facility.

Dash and Brian,
There's great riding on South Eubank outside the Kirtland AFB gate. Brian, there is some good riding in the Tijeras arroyo on base. Just keep an eye out for base security. They don't care too much for motorcycles in that area. A KLR can out run those lame diesel Blazers and Hummers anyway.

It can't outrun a radio though, and unlike the CHP the military police have
absolutely no sense of humor.......I've ridden on numerous military
facilities. The best course of action is to check in legally at the front
gate with the MP's and get a visitor's pass (To ride legally on a military
post you must have boots, gloves, helmet, eye protection, long sleeves and
pants, and a reflective safety vest or some other type of high visibility
garment. You'll also need to show your registration, drivers license, proof
of insurance, and leave your fireworks and firearms at home.). Ask them
where "Range Control" is. Go to Range Control and ask them where you can go
to take some wildlife pictures, or some other such excuse that is other than
"I really want to tear up some dirt on my bike." Its not that they mind the
dirt getting torn up so much (ever seen the damage a platoon of tanks can
do?), its that they don't want to be liable for you in a risky recreational
activity. Some posts have great scenery, great hiking, fishing, hunting,
mountain biking, and, of course, great riding. Some of my favorite riding
is "on the back 40" at Ft. Campbell, KY, and in "Yoda's Basement" in the
South Rainier training area, Ft. Lewis, WA.

nklr: riding jacket

There has been a lot of talk about jackets on this list lately, so I thought
I'd share one that I have found. I received my Y2K Acerbis catalog today, and
within they spring update there is a jacket that appears to be pretty
awseome. Here are the stats.
Made in Germany, Buse Hadley Jacket, 600 Denier Nylon Cordura Shell
1000 Denier Nylon Cordura shoulders and elbows, Nylon web straps sewn into
elbows for abrasion resistance, Cordura Stitching, Windproof and waterproof
"Z" liner membrane keeps you warm, dry, yet breathes for all weather use. CE
approved contoured, removeable, body armor in shoulders, elbows, and back.
Hand warmer pockets, Horizontal Chest Pocket w/velco closure. Inside zippered
pocket.
Zip-out quilted liner for the colder weather, Velcro adjustable storm cuffs,
Lined, padded collar. 3M Scothlite reflective detailing on chest, arms, and
back. Adjustable belt. Colors: black/red/grey, black/grey/gray. Sizes from
small to xxlarge
Price: $285.00
The jacket looks good to. It is a parka length jacket. Dakar style, I think
they call it 3/4 length? Anyway, the coverage is down over your pants
pockets, if you were wearing jeans. Looks like a pretty decent, good looking,
piece of riding gear for the price. Anyone have any experience with it? Has
anyone seen it outside of the catalog? I think I'm going to look around and
see if I can find one.
