Red River NM ... Memorial Day Weekend
About 15 of us are going again, I know before you guys start blasting me about the past years there, I have heard it all.
Anyone that hasn't gone, this is some of the best area around to ride in. We have been 3 times now & love it, we did the Salida Rally a couple yrs ago & it was a bust.

RE: Red River NM ... Memorial Day Weekend
14 of us came through your way last year on the way there. We had a really good time. We just cleared out before dark. A MC was having their get together and the cops started to roll in hot and heavy(as in a lot of them).
The funniest thingwe saw was a twin cab duelie wheelpick up truck being pulled over by a bicycle (yes the pedal type) cop.

RE: Red River NM ... Memorial Day Weekend
I've heard the stories. Last year when we went, that Saturday we were partying in Questa and at around 6 or7 pmthey announced over the loud speaker that the HP's or local cops (whoever they were) had set up a drunk stop between Taos and Questa. Come to find out they set it up to stop the locals and was not stopping bikes. The reason I know this is because we went bywhere they were set upand I thought they were waving me in so I stopped and the cops looked at me and said we aren't here for you keep going. So I think they are really trying to get that stigma behind them. By the way, the bar we were at announced it at around 6 or 7. We went by at like 1:30 in the morning and they were still there. And I was riding in a group of about 25 bikes and nobody got hammered.
I like riding in big groups there, the more noise you make the less likely a fricking deer or elk will run out in front of you.

We went to Salida a couple years ago after hearing the stories & it was a BUST! The riding was awesome, but the rally was a joke. Have had nothing but good times there at Red River.

RE: Red River NM ... Memorial Day Weekend
Sorry for the delay in replying. Been traveling a lit on the job and no time for forums.
We stayed in Clayton,NM the first night then rode to Red River through the Mountains. Stayed @ Red River for about 6 hours then to Taos. Next day to Madrid. My Dyna ate the trans in Santa Fe.(7900 miles) Dealer was open had 07 Ultra with a 103 on it and 1000 miles the sales manager had put on it. They talked turkey and I got a good trade in and good price on the Ultra. Won't go into the fact 2 of the 3 Credit agencies had me listed as deceased. (long story best told over beverages) Found out you can put a Ultra on AMEX in a pinch. Back to Clayton that night. Back to OP,KS the next day. Good trip. NM is some great country to ride in.
Not going to RR this year but plan on going back.
