    13T instead of....?

    I was thinking that Sprocket Mountain must be named after, maybe, Ol' man Ebeneezer Sprocket.
    Oh.... okay, I see.

    Interesting road.

    Intersting vidio, although speedo blocks view of the road.

      I made the video to capture how a TU does with a -2 front sprocket... Did pretty well. Not bad for a 250cc single!

        I see where people go up 1 for better highway revs. Is the sppeedo drive off of the front wheel?

          Yup, gear driven off front wheel.

            Jedz, ever ride up the twisty end of the road to Mt. Greylock? A video of that would be cool.

                it's become my custom to ride to niagara falls at this time of year to do some bikin and hikin. this time i went north a bit then turned west planning to come out somewhere north of the falls and explore more of the niagara river gorge.

                another gsr member from the area had posted this culvert near medina, ny where the erie canal goes over the road. i decided to find it and, without the help of maps or anything, zeroed in on it. had to rev the motor while in the tunnel of course.




                here's the canal. the culvert is directly below the information plaque. weird.






                i got to the river near the niagara power project which is a huge and amazing engineering feat worth it's own post. maybe next time.

                here is the length of river i hiked. started south on the trail at the top of the cliffs then down into the gorge to loop back to the beginning. lots of stairs to climb.







                i watched the whirlpool jet boat toy with this part of the rapids. i've gotta ride that boat someday, that looks like fun.






                this is that same spot from down in the gorge. pretty rough.




                then back to the top. i was a little winded i gotta admit. i'd been standing on the rocks in the lower left of the pic about ten minutes earlier.






                the ride home was exhilarating. south from niagara falls, over the grand island bridges, and through downtown buffalo. traffic was stopped up pretty good. i decided to do this "lane splitting" i'd heard of. did it for about 5 miles. i even passed at least one cop. raced a guy on a victory for a while too. home alive, great ride.

                        Went for a short ride before work. It's starting to get cool with just my mesh gear.

                            Rode to work a couple days in last couple weeks (but no pictures). Seem to ride to work more in fall than do in summer.

                            Had an other before-sunrise-ride this morning (Saturday) on ride out to breakfast.
                            Went early to make for more of a ride.

                              And, and late afternoon ride (50 degF is warm enough, eh)

                              Maybe will have to finally admit that ".... t'aint summer no mo' .... "
                              Starting to see some fall color, here at a place that have posted pics before


                              After that I sett off and followed my front fender out into parts of I seldom go to.
                              Farmland, flat and mostly straight roads.
                              But saw this off in the distance, that have seen from afar many times, out in middle of farmland,
                              Wandered around to find a way up next to it.

                              Sign on fence said about FAA and used for safety of air traffic (and penalties for tampering).

                              Ah, I quess this all is something for keeping track of tkent02.

                              And somehow, I got the idea, that I should not try to get in there.

                                Then went about riding around somewhat aimlessly....
                                ... at each intersection deciding which way to go....
                                .... and ran out of pavement ... bbut was good hardpack and smooth, so continued on

                                found a road hazard that have not had to deal with before
