I took a little spin up to the Cloudcroft area in Oct. and ran into an early snow.

your gloves look like buck-toothed cartoon mouths

[Littlethumper]

omg jib, you noticed that too? I keep on looking at it and trying to figured it out
if it is bugs tooth for sure :lol:

Nice ride mr!

Drive safe... :tup:

Nice color. But snow in New Mexico, in October.. wow, what kind of elevation is that?

[Sarris]

Welcome gnu.

Beautiful bike and beautiful scenery.

Oh yeah, the buck toothed glove thing is cool too.

:rawk:

[gnu88001]

Well, I'll be! Never noticed the little tooth thingees. Just an accident, I assure you.

Yeah, this is a beautiful area of NM. Cloudcroft is at 8500 ft and the spot this pic was shot at is close to 9000 ft elevation. Here's another photo this year before snow hit; a little lower too.

I love Cloudcroft. I've got family down the road at Alamogordo. You should play a round of golf at Cloudcroft's course. It's crazy! 350 yard hole...but 200 of that is vertical! :jawdrop:

My international headquarters is in Las Cruces and it's not unusual for there to be snow on the desert sand. Looks unusual, though. I think elev there is about 4000 feet, and it does get cold in the winter. Not upstate NY cold, but a lot colder than Southern California.

A round of golf?

I'm with Mark Twain, when he said "golf is a good walk - spoiled"

I've just noticed, in the photo, that your helmet is parked on the mirror. I was always taught never to park it on anything, just rest it somewhere, as anything like a mirror or handlebars can eventually damage the soft inner lining which is there to help protect your head in the event of an accident, & thus make the helmet less protective. Does ayone else agree with me, or is this just a fallicy?

Everything in moderation!
Study the inside of your helmet just for a second. The really soft part of the lining is more for comfort than protection. The protective layer isn't that soft.
So, no, it shouldn't be a problem unless the "post" comes to a point or sharp edge........or maybe you leave it parked there for MONTHS.

P.S. Except for parking it on the sissy-bar backrest occasionally, I prefer to hang mine by the strap. I think it ventilates better that way......but you gotta check for collected "foreign matter" before putting it on again. :cry:
