    Found this dirt road covered in snow:


    I think I might have been a little to eager with the camping in April. Dropped below freezing around 2am.



    Getting ready to try to make it back down the hill:


    Broke down somewhere in the Hudson Valley:


    It was my `Ignition' (Toggle) switch. Vibrations killed it and cut my power so I had to take it apart and reassemble (twice actually). A guy on a BMW stopped to make sure everything was okay but I was back up in ~20 minutes or so.

    Did a good 400 miles but I wish it was more.

    What an awesome share!!! Thanks for doing so!

    The GS450 is such an awesome little versatile bikes. For roughing adventures like that it almost seems less is more.

    Glad to see you managed to get it back in one piece!

      I love my GS450 and definitely wouldn't have been able to get to my camp site on a larger bike. I actually had the bike OFF and was pushing it over ice for about 40 yards since giving it any gas was just spinning the wheel ahaha. You get tossed around by the wind a little on the highway which gets tiring after 2 hours but on the smaller roads it's perfect.

            I went to the library (it's half a block south of this tattoo shop) ten miles away.
            I ran out of gas (curse the teeny tiny tank of my 650GL). But I was literally across the intersection from the gas station I was heading to. Twenty feet of pushing and I was able to fill up.

            Also, I found a quarter. Woot!

                  Haha well I couldn't wait. Yup, about three hours from me it's one of my go to moto destinations. I'm planning on camping LOTS this spring/summer/fall if anybody has any greater New England suggestions

                      I mowed the lawn today. Mowing involves dragging the scooter out of the shed.
                      With the lawn done, I hosed the shed gunk off of the scooter that accumulated over the winter then cruised around the block a bit.

                          Hey Glen,

                          That type of bike is great in cities like Rome, Italy.

                          And Kerry, so I'm thinking there's more pink elephants on parade...Or was that in the Disney movie, Dumbo?
