First real ride of the year. Every year I ride deeper into the winter and hibernate longer in the Spring. Gotta change that. Anyway, I was up and out of the house by 7AM. Not too bad since I was up late watching UFC despite already having seen all three fights. I had a nice route setup on my Garmin. Most of the roads were new to me that I had been eyeing on maps all winter. I was heading to the Delaware Water Gap National Park Area, then to High Point, and finally, I was going to work my way
It was good to be back on the bike. It had been way too long. I was heading into the Wawayanda State Park on an all but forgotten road. It was 27 degrees and the lakes were frozen over. The sun peered through a thick white veil - a sure sign of impending snow. We were all alone. It might as well have been the surface of the moon. Just me and my VFR. She’s a good bike, sometimes even a good friend.
I have had so much on my mind lately. A lot of unhealthy negative stuff. Life can sure be
I had such a good time last weekend at the 2008 Fall Catskill Ride that I had to plan a ride for Sunday. Today is Tuesday, so the ride was two days ago. I met Nino (buki67) at the Fall Ride and asked him during the week if he wanted to spend another weekend on his bike. He said yes.
I love maps and have a pretty good supply of motorcycle routes saved. I am always tweaking a route here or planning a 20,000 mile epic journey there. So I suggested two options to Nino. The first was a one day 450
Well, its tuesday morning and I'm sitting at work thinking over the events of the weekend. Yup, definitely had some fun.
This was the first time I rode with another red 5th gen. I gotta admit its kinda cool when you are side by side rollin down the highway together.
I met Anthony (mellowyellow) in the parking deck of the Sloatsburg Rest Area about 20 after 8. The moment I see him on his big beemer I am smiling. He enters the garage like he owns it. It was classic. No hesitation whatsoever
