Picnic Ride

[MarFJR]

Oh man, I just realized that moving the ride to Sunday means I will miss the Unlimited Class at the tractor pulls in my town this weekend.

So are the beams still in?

There will be all kinds of whining and crying until I get past Odell Rd and then I'll be fine :lol: The real reason I go to the Pulls is simply for a photo op, something different to take pictures of. It is a challenge to shoot tractors and tell a story or capture it as an interesting event. It in no way is on the same scale as going for a motorcycle ride (even in the cold and rain).

I didn’t want to poke fun at the beams you never know what rural folk are into.. Fairs, Tractor pull.. Dancing around a fire in robes at the summer solstice :blink: you just never know for sure.

Great that your coming! :yahoo:

I'm out for Sunday. Hope to catch up another time!

Hope to see you at the CB run on the 1st.

We managed to pull off this little ride, including a pick-a-nic lunch. The predicted sunshine did not entirely show up but it was still A Fine Day Out. Our route had us wandering around the central lakes region of New Hampshire. The scenery was the destination. The day in no particular order:

Tom (Snikr) from VT comes to Weirs Beach NH as part of a Rib Ride where this is the destination for Good Eats.

Our ride leader asking the GPS people where the phuck are we and how do we get out of here?

When Fred was leading us to a park for lunch I couldn't believe he passed up this dirt road :wub:

A whole flotilla of Common Mergansers, the ones with a red head are females and the dark ones are males.

During the Fred Led part of the ride the scenery looks like this:

Thanks for the PICs and showing Dennis and I that wonderful road on are way back south.

I will be getting one of them fancy GPS du-dads before I try to lead my next pick-up ride.

The Park we crashed was a great spot for lunch. So what if it was technically unavailable!

What! That was my scheduled landry mat stop. I had to make sure my delicates got sorted properly.

Thanks Fred for getting us to the state park..

Hi all,

Had a great time yesterday. Was a nice ride, picnic (great chowder from MarFJR and great sandwiches from the 'Beams), great scenery (would be pretty fantastic during peak leaf peeping season).

Glad I finally got a chance to inquire about the headlight adjusting knob at the first stop. Once I got home, I ate/drank/floppedOnCouch, then got up and removed panels A and B and promptly disabled the windshield auto retract feature. (Never was able to get panel B before).

I then went on to see if I could change my light bulb on the right side (that one's supposed to be the hardest to do); I found out that I can so I installed an H4 HID bulb I had laying around downstairs from a previous bike. I had an old ballast/ignitor and installed that too. I tucked the ignitor in a corner up front and then tucked the ballast in a pocket on the rear of the A panel and drove around tonight. I liked the white light (even if it's just one side).

I've two H4 HID bulbs on the way for tomorrow but I'm shy a ballast/ignitor. I may just leave things as is right now given that it's a work week.

And hey thanks for that pic of me Helen -- I don't think I have a shot at that angle.
