Following your adventure at backdoormotoadventure and I am jealous! I understand you concern on the gas situation in that NM/AZ area. A couple of years ago, I rode from Deming to Road Forks then south to Douglas. I did not gas up at Lordsburg on the way over, planning on gassing at Road Forks. In the old days, that site was a giant truck stop with a couple of smaller stations across the road. We pulled up on our bikes and were not sure any of the places were still in business. Luckily, the old truck stop had like one gas pump still open. If it had been closed, I don't think we could have made it back to Lordsburg.
Speaking of gas, on your trip from Silver City to the Cliff Dwellings, did you stop at Doc Campbells trading post? If so, are they still selling gas there? Also, did you notice if the Lake Roberts store or the Mimbres store were selling gas? You hit some of the best roads in NM for motorcycle riding on this trip! I especially like that route over Emory Pass, with all the 10 mph curves!
Sorry I could not meet up with you in California. I have since replaced the fork seals, dust caps and put in progressive springs on the F1. Now chasing a weird wobble that has appeared between 40 and 45 mph when I relax my grip (let go of) on the handlebars. No wobble below or above that speed or if I keep slight pressure on the bars. Strange.
