Yes, it is a story...and I will mention GS's along the way, to keep the theme..
Anyway, I went for a nice ride Sunday. It was perfect. No a-hole cagers, weather was great, no traffic, beautiful sights.
I was about an hour into my ride, and was looking for a place to eat. I almost zoomed by this little hole in the wall. Parked my bike next to a really nice, shiny Harley. I always laugh to myself, seeing as how mine is all dented and chopped up. I go inside, and I see a man with his wife enjoying their pizza. I order mine, get a Yoo-Hoo, get my slice, and sit down at the table next to them. The guy asked me if I wanted a slice from their pie, since they couldn't finish it. I politely said no, but he went on how huge the pie was and how he and his wife couldnt finish. So I said what the hell, gimme a slice. He was a "typical" biker from his looks. Tattoo's, long hair, beard...all that..We got to talking about bikes, rides, etc. Turns out they are from Lancaster PA, and were on thier way up to Vermont for a few days. He has a 1500cc bike (dont ask me what it is...an Electraglide...?) and asked him about gas mileage, ride feel, etc. They were the nicest people, and I want to thank them again for the slice! Dont judge a book by it's cover.
I head out, super full, and continue on enjoying the scenery. It looked like it would rain, and I was hoping it would hold off. I go up through Saugerties, and lo and behold they are having their yearly classic car show!! YAY! Got a great parking spot, saw a GS parked. Walked and looked at the rides, and then I saw this....
It was hard to get a pic of it....all the guys were drooling over it, pratically killing each other to get a pic of it. It's an exact replica.(Or so the billboard claimed). Right hand drive, and check out that exhaust!! Everything paled in comparison. I love those TV show cars.
I only stayed for about 45 minutes, then hit the road again. Went through Woodstock, and then up to the Ashokan Reservoir. After 9/11, they were VERY strict. At first, only residents could ride around. They eventually let in the "outsiders", but NO picture taking. My mom lives up there, and I saw there was no more DEP officers in their booth, so I snapped a few shots. Then, a DEP truck passed me by. I have heard horror stories of where they'll confiscate your camera, so I was a little nervous. He kept on driving, so I would assume you can now take pics.

No doggie sitter, and low on $$$. I will be going to that bike thing in MA on Sept 9th... How about a day ride sometime in the future...??
