Hey, I ride a motorcycle and have been riding since 1967 (250K miles or so). I have never had any trouble with bikers...I don't do anything to provoke them, of course. I've always ridden Suzukis, Yamahas and Hondas, which don't qualify me as a "biker" (the bikes I ride are called "riceburners" by the hard-core bikers who only ride Harleys). But we have always gotten along. Most of the people who dress like "outlaw bikers" really aren't, although there are a few Boozefighters, Bandidos, Hells Angels, etc. around. My experience is that very few of them will bother you if you don't do anything to rile them.
I didn't mean to hijack the topic...just wanted to comment.

I mean literally that this guy was on the front page of the newspaper and they listed his rap sheet, which included some violent infractions...not that he was just a biker in a bar LOL! We saw the headline a couple days after we had dinner with him.
We live in an area with ching-a-lings, hell's angels and quite a few other bonafide gangs. While most are pretty pleasant, there are those who have been quite naughty. This guy was one of them.
I'm happy and thriving in Las Cruces, even had my first successful Booksigning. How is eveyone doing in their new choice town??
Would be nice to get some updates.
Just choose a decent part of town to live in and you should be fine.
I visit my sister in Rio Rancho occasionally and drive around Albuquerque looking for apartments; you get to know the better parts of town in no time at all.
But don't stop with that...
And, get a CHL or, carry openly without a permit. Learning to defend yourself -- in addition to calling Dial a Prayer (911) -- is the prudent thing to do no matter WHAT state you move to (except those anti-gun states like CA, MA, MD and such).
But NM is a gun-friendly state, more so than Texas it seems.
Refuse to be a victim WHEREVER you go.
