johnlt Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I installed a new windscreen on my old R80RT and decided to give it a short test run. I rode down to Patagonia which is about 60 SSE of Tucson on Hwy 82 via Hwy 83 through the Sonoita valley. It is about 13 miles from the Mexican border. Here are a few shots: Enroute going through the Sonoita Valley: Arriving in Patagonia: Destination: Stage Stop Motel & Restuarant The "prize": Bottom line: new shield worked great, ride was outstanding (temps in the 60s) food execellent.
