That's like the "GL" question, ie it's a question without an answer because Honda never enlightened us. dellwoods Mexican rally explanation ssounds reasonable to me.:action:Where is the word Aspencade from and what does it mean?
Doesn't that just say it all! The New Mexico story is a popular one so I'll go alongwith that.That's like the "GL" question, ie it's a question without an answer because Honda never enlightened us.
Interesting stuff Hobie. Welcome to the forum.Greetings.
When I was stationed at Holoman AFB back in the mid 70's, we used to go to the Aspencade in Ruidoso. The rally was open to anyone on two wheels, and even trikes.
I recall it was held in the earlyfall as the Aspens were turning golden.
It was a relaxed atmosphere and everyone got along for the most part. The police were lenient, the locals were happy, and you could find what ever party you were looking for. This all framed in by a beautiful mountain background and great weather.
I think but do not know for sure that this rally may have precluded Sturgis by a year or two. I may be wrong.
Happy holidays to all.
