    Our 2008 Trip out West - Part 1

    Let me begin by saying, we did not encounter rain for the 10 days, 3100 miles while riding the bikes. It was beautiful sun shine everyday with the exception of a little fog along the West coast. We began the trip across the country (3 days) towing our bikes on a trailer, Friday July 4. We...

    Video of ride up Hunter Mtn. in the Catskills, NY

    Marty, If you recall, I was doing the recording at the rear of the pack. Iris and you were somewhere at the top of the mountain (already) on your way to Sweet Sue's. The rider right in front of me was our friend Dave "the Brit" and in front of him was Skip (Nice Rumble).

    Our 2008 Trip out West

    Yes, we picked up Rt.1 on our way South at Leggett (on 101), right after the Avenue of the Giants. I think one of the most interesting things on Rt.1 was that there were cows on the highway (along with their droppings), I mean with the twists and turns (with cliffs down to the ocean shore) with...

    you wretched New York sinners! (u know who u are)

    Actually, the driveway where we loaded the bike was dirt and the dust does give it a look of being square, but I assure you, we used the full radius. It's hard not to use the full radius when you're on roads like Rt. 1 in Northern California, Rt. 4 and 89 in Nevada, the road to Mt. St. Helens...

    you wretched New York sinners! (u know who u are)

    Beerme.....your sign was sooo funny. We thought we were in trouble when you pulled up along side of us in your on duty vehicle. We were pleasantly surprised with your humor. We pulled off at that exit to get some Starbucks coffee. We both were hoping that you would follow too. It would have...

    Art, Sounds about right. Just so you know, we are planning to pull over at the scenic lookout on the Northwest side of the lake (alittle before Hague), I thought a group photo there would be nice. Jim

    NY - Adirondack's Ride June 14th 2008

    Jon, I always have my side bags on especially on our all day rides. You see the left side bag is for my stuff and right side bag is for Iris' stuff (Iris seldon rides with her side bags on....only when we do a two week trip), so I guess that makes me the mule. :) See ya soon. Jim

    What kind of transceiver are you using? Citizens Band or Family radio? I'll have CB. I have to hightail it home around 2pm, which I hope is at the end of Tracy Road. I will probably turn around at the end of Tracy Road and double back to the interstate. Bill Bill, We have Auto-com with a...
