All of the above have killed friends and fellow pilots in Florida doing their late mid-life crises with Harley's and Goldwing's.
Maybe rural New Mexico would be more biker friendly?
I would guess you’ve not spent much time in New Mexico. It’s pretty much ALL rural except for Albuquerque. OK, Las Cruces has over100,000 people, but that’s a fifth the population of Albuquerque and Las Cruces is the second biggest city in New Mexico. The whole damn state only has about two million people and it has individual counties larger than New England states. The state is huge and largely empty. The first nuclear bomb ever exploded was in New Mexico at Trinity Site, and pretty much nobody noticed. And it was an above ground blast.
If you look in the dictionary under ‘wide open spaces’ it’ll show you a picture from Interstate 25 north of Las Cruces.
