" New Mexico, not really new, not really Mexico "
Looks like you folks have had a 35th generation individual promoted to Secretary of the Interior, a former Representative for New Mexico. Good on ya! Tough generational creds to beat...Rather eclipses the 5th & 6th generation claims of the Goldwaters & Udalls of your neighbor, Arizona.

A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.

Most of us here are very proud of Deb, she came from humble beginnings and made her way politically up the ladder solely on her merits and abilities. I can't think of a better choice for secretary of the interior, her perspective in that office will be a huge asset to this country!

My experience is that with a lightweight outfit  like the Cozy + RE, body English is so effective that I don't need weights.  But maybe I am too cautious. :)

The cozy is a lightweight ,but how much does it weigh? shipping was 400lbs, minus the big crate and add tire back on ,but then I can lift it, so is it like 200lbs :-\
Still riding carefully with no weight or passenger
