Well as some of you know from my debacle on Friday night I went on a trip over the weekend. My friend was coming up to my house near Saratoga Springs NY to pick up his new to him Katana to ride it home to Ridgewood NJ. We went on an unrealted ride on Saturday just to get him used to it. Its his first bike ever. We did about 110 miles on a loop in VT. Sorry no pics of that.
We rode from my place along Rt 30 to the Catskills, along Rt 55, Rt 47, Rt 28, Rt 42, back to 55, to Rt 97 and on to the Hawks Nest in Porth Jervis, all back roads. Then we hopped on the highway for the last hour to get to Ridgewood. I did see a fellow S rider in the Nest, anyone on this list? We did 351 for the day. Then I took this slab home this morning for 168 miles. All told I did 629 miles for the 3 days. Here are some pics.
