anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

I hate when beers get popped open like that. Terrible waste.


I got the old GZ250 on the road the other day. It's been sitting in the back of the shed since 2017. Here's a picture of the first ride around the neighbourhood. Bike runs great.



So we loaded it into the minivan for a family weekend trip to a state park on Lake Ontario.

On the beach..



I took the little bike a couple miles to a trail head and went for a stroll. The bike is parked on the other side of that hill.




This place is called Sitts Bluffs. There was no trail to here, the edge was kind of sketchy and the bugs were horrendous. But I had to get a look cuz it was awesome.

Sasquatch in NYS? Who knew?

Like the looks of the Bluffs.

Looks like he's heading north. I wonder if they'll give him a hard time at the border...

Hey Dave (Grimly), did you happen to catch a glimpse of Danny Hayes as he made his way around Ireland recently? I've been watching his videos. What a nut!
High quality moto-vlogging regardless of what you might think of the guy and the way he treats his poor HDs.

Yesterdays morning ride, earlier than typical, for the 6am arrival of a lake freighter.

The wife, youngest step-son and I left Friday night after work for Waterville OH with the intent to head east to Cleveland then back home via Charmayne's. Our plan Friday was to catch a glimpse of the Roche de Boeuf, otherwise known as the Interurban, bridge built in 1908 and slated for demolition by the state next year after they couldn't get any buyers for it. It's supposedly known as the largest earth-filled reinforced concrete bridge

Here's a quick history of it:

Woke up Saturday to rain and the threat of severe thunderstorms but found a gap between two lines and made our way east to Port Clinton to see the lighthouse there.

Unfortunately, the rain opened up just as we started to leave and I wasn't in the mood to ride the entire day in yellow and some red colored radar markings since it was moving in the same direction we were. So, instead we made our way home with the intent to go back to Cleveland next weekend when it's cooler.

I got out for a little ride of 110 miles this morning. Was wearing a long sleeve t-shirt under my mesh jacket and I was chilly for most of the miles. We got down to 58° here this morning and our extended outlook for the next 7-10 days is calling for highs in the upper 90s to the triple digits. What a difference.

Made one stop for gas and coffee and when I go to start the bike again, the starter had given up the ghost. Been working fine since my trip to Ky. last month, but not anymore.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of two of my favorite rides.

image_59721.jpg Been going for rides most every day am home. Maybeonly half hour, or an hour or two. A couple times road somewhere expecting a ship to come in, and then have to find a good vantage point, and wait. But, hey, it gets me out for a ride.

here are some ride pics.

yes, officer, I saw the no parking signs, I am not parking, am just hesitating… for a picture, engine still running.
yes, officer, I see all the barricades,… they would need to be closer together if meant to keep out motorcycles.

the dern draw bridge. Yes, on a US highway.
When I get caught by it, I like to get out/off and look to see if the boat really needed to request the bridge to open.

Not real sure Dave. I'm not up on all the different models, but I think it might be a b1b bomber.

Actually no, not this weekend. Something came up that made me choose to postpone it (related to the pictures of Rose earlier today)

Another morning ride today, stopped at the same place so you can see a different bike with the same jet.
