    first decent ride-finally!!!

    The rain let up, the air cooled off, the bike finally works right, and I finally have some time. I got in my firsyt decent ride today, about an hour and a half. Twisties, turns, farm country, lions tigers and bears, oh my! The bike finally runs well, even with a backward, incorrect petcock. I am finally getting over the pneumonia and sinus infection from mid June. Gawwd! It's about time. Too bad my son was otherwise occupied this evening, but has promised a rerun if the weather holds. If tomorrow is as acceptable i n Cincy as it was this evening, we'll have a father and son ride, not as involved as the TCK, but a couple hours nonetheless. Yahoo! This was the first day this year that riding reminds me why I got this bike at the age of 49 in the 1st place. I'm finding a lot of nice roads around the northeastern section of the greater Cincinnati area, around Loveland, Milford, Landen and points farther out.

      Always nice to get the opportunity to ride with your sons!
      When I lived in No Kentucky many years ago there were nice winding roads close to you, just south of Florence along Rt 42 through Union and Walton that I used to ride using a friend's old Triumph Bonneville that I fixed for him. I think I used it more than he did.

        Sorry, Josh. This was the first time I was on the forum for any length today. We did get about an hours worth in today. Spent a big part of the day rearranging the garage and cleaning and tuning the paint guns. Just got a used 1 quart gun off ebay and was trying to get it tuned and practicing on a couple used tanks. Splashed some of the Mercedesblack on one with a gun and it looks great!
