          Thanks.
          That trestle was my destination.
          I was there about 12-15 years ago (film, picture in box somewhere) when the entire park was nothing but a gravel parking lot. Could get bike in position further away from the trestle to also include the water fall (used to be a dam for power station) in background.
          Now is a definite small paved parking lot with curbs, and definite sidewalks and raised walkways and fences and rails, with nice lawn and definite picnic area. I suppose the park has been improved for public usage, but not improved for my motorcykl photos!

            Nice shot of the FJR! You have a pillion ride with you Norm?
            I rode Skip's FJR Last weekend. Very similar to my Concours 14 but just a touch too big for me...
            You riding out this way anytime soon? We don't always have meets but my door is always open, as long as I'm not on the road

              Why yes I did have a passenger. I went to pick up my female friend for a ride. Her 10 year old son never been on a motorcycle and wanted a ride. He loved it, I kept asking him if he was okay, he wanted to go faster! I think I created a monster! It was a fun evening ��

              Your right Jedz, this motorcycle is a pig. But the 147hp kind of makes up for it��

                Came across this Gorgeous all Marble church in Proctor Vermont

                And After such a brisk and balmy ride I rewarded myself!
                Did you stop in Mayberry for gas? Looks like Wally's gas station with those old pumps.

                  I always thought the Connie was bigger than the FJR, no?

                    650lbs wet FJR

                    When I did my ZX-14 upgrades I dropped about 40lbs out of my Concours. Even at 630lbs my Concours 14 was a pig... A flying pig, but a pig all the same.

                      With the battery up as high as you can get it (under the upper right side of the fairing) and 6 gallons of fuel. It makes navigating at slow speed a little wonky. After the novelty of the new motorcycle wears off, and some spring time maintenance is done to the GS, the GS will be getting the majority of everyday riding time.��

                      There's going to be a absolutely gorgeous 83 1100e posted for sale soon. If I knew it was going up for sale I would have bought it.... No, I'm not spilling the beans...

                        Sounds like, Yes, You have. On next occasions maybe it might be fun to determine weither it is the speed or if it is the acceleration that he likes.

                          i met these folks at a parking spot in the https://www.fws.gov/refuge/iroquois/. this guy rode a really cool bandit and his olady had a pretty honda shadow. i blurred their faces cuz i didn't ask if i could use their picture but you gotta see this guy's riding gear.

                          bandit dude.jpg

                          he seemed to like my old skunk and took several pictures of it. we talked bikes and stuff for a half hour or so. they were great. the wildlife refuge itself is really kinda just a boring swamp.
