Thanks! I was up in Maine when the monsoons started & left for the south the day after I got back. Got drenched between Hartford & Scranton but the rest of the trip was fairly dry. There are soo many good roads down there, we really don't have similar riding up here in the northeast -it always takes me a little bit to get used to actually leaning the bike over when I travel down there!
Hope you're able to get out for some dry riding soon, it looks like we might just get some slightly better weather in the near future.

Berkshires to Catskills and back Sunday is the current plan, and the weather looks perfect.
The Smokies etc are really good, and as I'm sure you found, the roads crisscrossing the BRP that are not so low speed limit etc. are even better; that said, I do think we've got a fair amount of solid riding up here in NE. Having worn out VT and NH, I've been bathing in the greatness of upstate NY the last few years. Adirondack Park is stellar.

Truth be told, I don't get out of western MA & southern VT enough -lots left to explore!

Here's my 2002 GSA on tour over Memorial Day - it was a wet weekend in the NC Mountains!

Durham NY, just north of Rt. 23, pointing East back from the Catskill foothills towards the Hudson Valley.
Love the photo, especially the bike! Glad you could get out when it wasn't raining.

She's a beauty.. how many miles? Looks super clean from here.
I often do some chanting inside my lid when setting out... I think it' a good way to help align the stars.
Track Day
I did my first ever track day (finally!!) a week ago. My 04 RT has Wilbers suspension on the front & Ohlins on the back -the bike did awesome. Toward the final morning session, I started to find the lean limits of the bike & was dragging pegs. I adjusted my body position in the afternoon & was able to corner much faster & safer than I had in the earlier sessions. I'm planning to go back to the track on Labor Day & work on smoothness & line choice.
