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
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
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 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
