    Picked up Shan and did the mountain Gaps 125 and 73... After my after work ride...

    Couldn't have asked for a better day!
    Sunny, Warm (84') and blue sky... Had to drink water... Nice to have good riding weather again!

      Jedz, Let me see if I understand properly.... to get to work and back, you rode nearly 4 hours and nearly 200 miles, or was that just the ride home?. And..... then? then took Shan for a ride.

      So, your ride home, is about like a big long planned, rare occasion, adventure for me.

      Okay, now I am starting to understand how you get the mileage you do.

        I see in Britain they have "yoof" and in NYC you can find "yutes" but what the heck is a "yoof" in Virginia?

          I'm guessing he meant Youth. Probably church related.

                  Damn you, you're making me want one. Also what are the orange and green lights illuminated for?

                  Comment


                    Orange light is the wheelie/traction control "off" light.
                    Green light is the cruise control.

                          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.

                            216 miles today out to Iron Pony via I-70 and back home via I-70/US-42. I originally wanted to ride south to Athens OH then west through Chillicothe but the storm coming North from Kentucky interrupted those plans.

                              I took a ride up to Buffalo New York today. I stopped at the Anchor Bar for Wings. It's a pretty cool place with motorcycles hanging from the ceiling. It started to get late and a little cool, so I got a hotel room for the night. I plane on taking the scenic route to home tomorrow.

                                Rode over 250 miles yesterday through Placerville and on to Georgetown where I met some friends. Then east to the end of Wentworth road where we stopped to rest and visit. 150 miles of that was wonderful twisties and sweepers and elevation changes. Great day. The crew:
