Service Time

Last night when I was gassing up in Moriarty, New Mexico I decided it was time to stop as Albuquerque was about 45 minutes away.  I found a nice little hotel, checked in then went back to the gas station as they had a diner there and had supper.  It was 30 degrees when I got up and went for breakfast at about 8 am.  I had frost on my seat.

Packed up and ready to go

When I got to Albuquerque I went to the dealership, Thunderbird Harley Davidson to see when they could do my 5K service.  They said drive it in and we will get right on it.  Wow, didn’t expect that!  I also had them check the shocks, with all my gear I think they were a little low and adjust my cruising peg.  This dealership had a large variety of helmets so I checked them out and bought a full face helmet.  Boy did it cut down on the wind noise I was hearing.  Helmets have a 5 year life span, and I’ve had mine for 7 years.  I was waiting to get to a large dealership figuring they would have more to chose from.  Plus they took money off for trading in my old one.

So tonight I am trying my first hostel….

Here is a picture of my room.  I opted for a single for $10.00 more, I’m still less than the hotels I’ve been staying at.  Notice I had to stand outside the room to take the picture -lol!  The bathroom is even smaller, you have to straddle the toilet to shut the door!
