So it's been a GREAT summer at least for us Nor-Easteners. Weather has been awesome, hot & sunny and the women definately have shreaded a few threads with the heat we had :)

So whacky me, I'd thought I would just reflect back on it a bit as now the days feel n smell like autumn and the nites turn brisk and the mornings are cool and dew-afied.

Some things I will miss...

Riding down the street to my Marina for a quick jump on the boat or jetski. Yes, I sometimes did this in shorts or even in my swim trunks and it stirred quite a brew amongst the ATGATT crowd. I do believe in protective gear as anyone who's rode w me knows. (FJR to boat transport works quite well and as said I hardly hit 2nd gear... no more riff on this please lol!) Well OK, if you must... I'm a rebel I guess :blink:

Crazy parties/events with my g/f's scantly dressed (I love the heat!).. well here Wendy is just popping out a little cleav ;) ...BUT don't look below the weirdo's waste however. Like is that a compass and it's pointing back East?. She picked him out for the pic btw, NOT ME! Yeah she's as crazy as me 4 sure.

Speaking of crazy parties us guys could whip us some Shenanigans our selves, this was our Red-neck yacht club party (from a past year) and these idiots thought they were going to get a quick buzz from the Jack Daniels! (notice KJ is NOT in the pool!)

Did a lot of good riding this past summer, the thrill on the twisties was a rush but the scenery was breathtaking. I still lavish for a ride out West sometime though, some of that scenery posted on the Forum blew me away. This was from our 'Daks ride back in mid June.

Met a lot of new FJR friends and just good ole down to earth people ('Daks sat nite dinner, well the old timers table anyway lol)

Now it's time to switch gears to fall. Our riding season hasn't ended here in NY yet but it's time to start doing fall things like going to a Vikings/Redskins game with my 16yr old son. I would call him minny KJ but he already is 6'2"

And soon I will be onto my next beloved sport (Inlet/Old Forge trail system that we visit 2 to 3 times a year for some long weekends ...that actually seem quite short come to think about it!)

So it's not quite the end of bike season here (NY) yet, I hope to get in some fall foliage (bike) rides but by the feel of the weather around here we're getting close to the end :( .....SAD! But it's been Gerrr8! To my lucky friends in warm climates? Rock on! keep the ride reports coming and show me what I'm missing!

I may post up some pics of me ripping up a well groomed trail here or there and maybe at a comfortable 110+mph stretch ...and yes, in full gear and sober :p ...I always save the libation for later. Cheers :D

 
I knew u guyz would like this one... freeqn crazy shazitt and they kept saying let's do 220 next!.

And there's not enough alcohol in the world to make we wanna job in there with Nick and Rob(ski) ..his nickname is fruitcake btw :headbonk:
if the pool's filled with distilled water, then no problem. But once they start transferring conductive materials into the water (they seem to be drinking lots of beer, after all), all bets are off.
