Errata: The Harley V-Rod is belt-driven like the rest of the Harley fleet; the point I attempted to make is that it's the only water-cooled Harley. Japanese cruiser bikes of recent vintage are all shaft drive and water cooled.

Ha ha, the sweetener. I feel like I have been to exactly that cafe, although it was probably in Santa Cruz, or Kawaii.
Thanks for the dose of heat and relaxation, nothing but clouds here in the Northwest.
I very much enjoyed reading and seeing this post.
Very interesting. I passed through Madrid, N.M. over 20 years ago. It's pronounced Mádrid, as I recall. As a native of Madrid, Spain, I would like to visit all the American Madrids some day, including the notorious New Madrid, Mo., site of a major earthquake fault.
Madrid reminds me a lot of Bisbee, Arizona where I lived for a time. Bisbee was also a mining town in the mountains. The mines closed in the mid-1970s. Then the hippies & artists moved in. I bought my house there in 2002, where on the surface the town still seemed laid-back. Then the housing boom came, and with it, many new people trying to cash in on the charm, which turned out to be an illusion. Everything became gentrified. I left there in 2007 and have never looked back.
