What a cheesey piece of writing...........from the NY Times. I guess motorcycle stories aren't their forte.

Yes, I road the hill country a couple of years ago. Rode from AZ down to Padre Island and back. Wonderful trip, great memories, loved the courteous way folks drive down there and saw few cops.



Must be honest though and say after returning from the touted hill country roads there, I had more appreciation for the riding and road here in AZ. Way too many cops though.

I was previously reading Robert Higdon's report on the last Iron Butt. You can find it on the web. Great stuff. Or try Ted Simon's "Jupiter's Travels."

Ultan was probably so excited to be riding the Hill Country on a Ducati with LL that he reverted to the writing style of his grade school days.

Sorry , don't mean to be spreading negativity. I'm saying these things with a grin on my face. Of course, that's lost in cyberspace. I've been riding quite a bit lately. The summer is long and hot here in southern AZ and now we're reaping the benefits of having made in through it. One of my favorite local rides is that section of rt 60 you mention. I'll take your advice and try to charge up on the bliss when I can.
