Every time I see it I want to throw a pizza on the roof...

Second stop...Saul Goodman's office.
Better call Saul, because his office has been changed into a bar called Hooligans...actually kinda fitting.

-
Next stop...the car wash...what is kinda funny is that there are a few Octopus car washes in town, but there is a different one than this that is well know to be owned by a local gang to launder money...breaking bad kinda understands that good fiction is just fact packaged as story...

Across the street from the car wash is this sign...it was used in at least one episode...plus it looks cool and I've always wondered if they named Saul after this sign...

It also goes with the fall thread theme

These are awesome, Gavin! Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Then on to Jesse's apartment where some bad/sad things happened...

Located near campus...the road next to it is being redone and a mess...

Then Jesse's grandmother, then his, house...

The owners have done a bunch of stuff to this house...there is now a garage where the RV use to sit...sad..like Greedo shooting first...some things should not be changed...
This view shows the front door that has gotten so much action

Ps...11/20/11 and just a beautiful day today...temps are mid 60's, not a cloud in the sky...perfect riding weather...and nothing beats the blue skies if Albuquerque on a day like this...
-
While out taking these photos...28.1 miles...I also hit a couple of non Breaking Bad spots that I thought people might like...
The Simpson's fans....I give you Isotopes Park...

Ha, awesome. Thanks for taking these Gavin : )

Those pictures are really cool. I am glad you liked riding the Enertia.

Ok...another location...the Annual Toy Run (thousands of riders...most Harleys) just happened to start at Rio Ranch High School....which is the school they use for Walt's school...
First some plug time...I called the school and they said no problem...in fact they have a large array of solar panels on the school grounds...
(http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6106/6373136163_280a952972_b.jpg)
I was told to use the outlets on the Gym...in the background is the administration bldg...it is used a few times in BB...
A closer image of Admin Bldg...

But even more important...Walt's Building!! Felt a bit guilty as I had to ride onto campus...usually all the gates are locked, but this day they were open, so....

That's it for the Breaking Bad Brammo tour...
I'm going to add a couple of more shots I took today, but not BB related....

Annual Toy Run...crazy number of riders...
(http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6041/6373138627_e8ace13dd0_b.jpg)
I think every Harley in the state was there...
In the distance are the Sandia Mountians...I live a couple of miles down from the foothills...

Hasn't been used in BB yet, but I love this crazy "submarine" house that is near campus..

Last photo for this thread...it is a shout to a business
After the Toy Run ride, before heading home, a group of us stopped for lunch. I had never been to this place and didn't know the staff at all...yet when I asked if I could plug in the Enertia while we ate lunch (not sure I would make it all the way home without getting some charge along the way), they said, "no problem, let me get an extension cord." When they couldn't find their cord, they actually let me ride the bike into their storage room and charge there...Sweet...so we eat, talk, hang out and an hour later we pay the bill and I have more than enough charge to not only get home, but grab the CrossRoads motel photos and a few other...
Sadly I forgot to grab a photo of the bike in their storage area...it was a great image...all the staff heading to the back to check it out...
So far my work, Rio Rancho, the restaurant...heck everywhere I've asked has let me use their outlets...
A shout out to:

Someone on twitter has asked about the Simpson's reference:
http://twitter.com/# (http://twitter.com/#)!/Iriesheik/status/138652159146328066
@Iriesheik Where's Simpsons reference @simonsam “@BrammoSays: RT @brammofan: Breaking Bad fans and Brammo Fans t.co/9oN9fFHo #breakingbad”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albuquerque_Isotopes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albuquerque_Isotopes)
The Simpson's baseball team (the Springfield Isotopes) had a secret deal to move to Albuquerque...but Homer went on a Hunger Strike and the team stayed in Springfield.
When Albuquerque got a new Triple A baseball team, well the local paper held a poll to see what the new team name should be...Isotopes won easily...The team decided to honor the poll and named the team after the Simpsons episode...

Maybe we should start a thread to list all the business that have let us charge (with their permission) so we can tell them we're advertising for them on the World Wide Web, ferchrisakes!

That is a great idea. Go ahead and start it up.
