      Had sort of a fun solo mission to the Ridge for a day lapping. Never been to a track day on a Friday before.
      Local Wmrra/Omrra club racing this weekend, so it was rather packed paddock & trafficky on track.

      A lot of racers were out on track practicing for the races. Not sure if that coincided with the worst freak-show incident, red flag fest, event I've ever attended.

      It didn't help that the previous day, a car event took place, where apparently a motor let go spewing a large amount oil at the apex of turn 8a.

      3 ambulances, 4 red flags, another oil puddle over the blind brow of turn 3 & questionable line choices made by many.

      Things finally calmed down around 2pm, with 3 sessions to go. Learned a few new things in particular corners, so that was nice.
      GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

          I recognize S fairing brackets.
          Fairing on a repaint or repair?

            Rode my pristine GS700ES to the weekly car show held at the A&W drive-in. I had a lot of car guys walk over and look at the bike…. several reminisced about riding 750 Suzuki‘s in the 1980s…. I got a lot of compliments on the bike !

                    Took an evening ride to one of my favorite vistas to get some sunset pics for Pic of the Week Game. Got there early and had the spot to myself, for a little bit. Another guy with a camera, then another with 2 dogs, then another with a camera. We shot the breeze for a bit, then a another truck stopped and out spilled a whole Mennonite family; mom, dad, 4 girls and a boy. Most whipped out smartphones and proceeded to crowd my shot. I’ll never understand the various sects and their stances on technology. Their truck had an airbrushed decorative license plate, you know, the kind you get at a boardwalk shop down the shore. Oh, well, I decided to find it amusing. Sunset wasn’t very spectacular anyway. I’ll post one of the better early shots in the game.

                          Nothing gets past you Dave. I thought you might recognize that. So I'm sure you also saw that it is a project. New learning curve for me for sure.

                              Nice day biking and hiking. Put about 160 miles on the little GZ250. Saves on gas and tires on the bigger bikes.

                              Up the hill...




                              And down the hill...



                              This is Canandaiqua Lake. I don't think it's officialy a finger lake but it basically is. If you ever decide to go across New York State I suggest staying south of the Finger Lakes. The north side is much less scenic.

                                Canandaigua - 4th largest of the finger lakes (Google). And I can attest to the feature-less quality of the geography on the way to Lake Ontario. Used to kill the engine in the middle of an intersection and feel like Cary Grant at the bus stop in North By Northwest. Flat and quiet.

                                Very fond memories of the 3 years I lived right next to the Barge (Erie) Canal.
