I think that the type of ride could be altered, we went out as a scenic ride, i think a few of us could plan on a different kind of ride to melt tires :rockon:
Oh hell ya !!! some of those roads just need a thorough thrashing:rockon:

I figured you might chime in to that...Oh hell ya !!! some of those roads just need a thorough thrashing:rockon:
My only issue with a ride like that in THIS part of the country is the ratio of LEOs to Curves. I think a pie chart might best explain it. I can only dream of the open roads and canyons of the Southwest and SoCal.
We ride scenic routes here because that is all we have. The curves are typically monitored in all the wrong places for a biker. In my rides, I do know where they like to hide thus know when to slow down.
You mean this in a good way or...I figured you might chime in to that...
Maybe a fall twisties run would be in order, you can lead, I would love to pick up a few pointers:Flash:
I'm not talking a "take me to jail run" just a little more peppy...
Now that you mention it though, I don't remember seeing any LEOs until I reached southern NH on Sunday... and got very lucky. Thank you to the slow Honda Civic in front of me.
Rob doesn't ride as fast as he claims. Though he is a much faster and more skilled rider than I, he also has a sense of right and wrong and thus will not go twice the speed limit (like some roads around here desperately call for), or at least he won't tell me he will, and he sure as heck doesn't want to explain any sort of high speed accident to me
Well, get to a track day then!!! I might have to get me a camera mount before my track day, might be fun to record a few laps!!!
Home sweet home!
Is that a shot just before you go across the GW Bridge into NJ?

Yes it is, and it's also onen of the only spots where we sat in traffic.
I didn't exactly go all that slow in the real twisties on the way back. We had a break-away of 5 bikes up front. That's why I got the lecture from the wife... not for the speed but for leaving part of the group out of sight. I did stop and wait for them twice though. :don'tknow:
