Welcome, Kevin and Maree!
Get to California as soon as you can, and THEN take your time.
Have a great trip!
The coast NORTH of San Fran has some awfully nice riding, too. Just a thought.
And of course you'll take a bunch of pictures and share them with us, ...right?

Hi Kevin,
To quote Kylie the singing budgie,

"I should be so lucky."

Hope you have a great trip.

Best regards

Have a great trip... Enjoy the sights out west...If you get to California, I would avoid Citrus Heights where Old Michael lives. It is known for its gang activity and drug use... Lots of very unsavory folks live there. If you come up the coast to Oregon and Washington, you will have fresh air, great scenery and the Seattle area has the best folks around.... I'm sure we can find you some spots to stay. Again have a great trip and be safe... Rich

Don't "rush" to CA. If you do, you'll miss a bunch of great stuff along the way.

[HotRodZilla]

Where Are you going from Amarillo? It's a lunch stop from Albuquerque. If you come this way, lemme know. I'll take you for some good food.

Hi AJ
I would just like to thank you & your family for the welcome & company at dinner. We got away mid morning, went to the Gran Quirira ruins at Salinas Pleublo Mission-quite interesting to walk around & read the information. Then continued to Ruidoso along highway 82 to Carlsbad. Thanks again
Kevin.

+1, Gunny; nice work AJ, you are a good motorcycle host!

[HotRodZilla]

Kevin and Mauree were awesome. We took them to dinner and they took the dammed bill. We had a good time just hanging out and talking. My girls thought their '03 was pretty!

I was gonna call you yesterday, but due to the day before, it was full of stuff I had to catch up on. I figured if you had any problems you'd have called.

Have fun at the Caverns. They are Amazing! Make sure to take the tour of the King's Room.

Have fun...It was truly great meeting you two!!

[KevinW]

The last few days we when through Los Alamos & onto Santa Fe via NM4
Spend some time in Santa Fe before going down NM 14 with a run up to Sandia Crest Lookout before catching up with AJ & family in Albuquerque.
From Albuquerque down NM 337/55 stopping at Gran Quivers at Salinas Pueblo Mission, then onto 54, 380, 37, 70, 244, 82, then 2 in to Carlsbad Caverns, tonight we are in Las Cruces.

[El Toro Joe]

Good day all,
I’m from outback NSW Australia. Have a 04 FJR here in OZ with 195000 + on the clock and still going strong.
Have just brought a 2003 in Texas which my wife and I pick up next week.
We have a 6 week ride planned which will end in Missouri.
Basic plan is make our way through the south west and then up the coast as far as San Francisco. Then make our way back across to Missouri.
The plan is to see as much as possible without travelling on any interstates or major highways.
We would be interested in meeting anyone in these areas for a coffee & a yarn –
We can be contact on email:- kmareea@outlook.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Thank you for your time
Kevin & Maree Wheeler

Enjoying the hospitality of Don & Donna.

As you can see we are in AZ and leaving for CA, is there anyone in CA that has a tire changer that could help me out as the bike is fitted with a car tire on the rear and I would like to replace with same.

[HotRodZilla]

What happened to replacing it in Albuquerque?

Whereabouts in California, BD - Norcal/Bay Area/SoCal? It's kind of a big state… wink.png

Kevin and Maree, send a Private Message to Tyler here at FJRiders.com She know of a tire changer owned by her Friend in Pleasanton, California

Many thanks for responding Miss Tyler, You are the Best! They left mi Casa at 0830 hours this morning heading for the high desert north of Los Angeles. Their front wheel is their guide, no set plans. They have planned on riding as far North as the Bay Area, then turning East by Southeast heading to Missouri to store their bike!

They really wanted to put a lot of distance between them and you as quickly as they could
