Been cold latley and rainy at times, so havent riden much latley.

Last evening, I told myslef "if its over 50 , I am riding."
I looked and it was right at 50.
Well, OKay, Went anyway.
Even with knowing it will be colder by the lake and after sunset.

Went for little ride further out of town, and then down by beach/pier about sunset time. Walked around on the beach with camera for sunset time.



After sunset, rode into town ...stopped for a couple ProntoPups cuz was about no line .. and then home.

I was a bit cold by then, I shoulda had the heavier jacket and gloves. But was good to get out on the bike.

Seems like I've been doing nothing but work on various projects this spring. Then if I had an extra bit of time the weather was cold or wet. Most of my rides, I can remember contemplating whether I should break out the snowmobile pants or not. Sweet therapy today though, I dedicated a couple hours and a tank of gas to just enjoying the ride and nothing else. therapist.jpg

Rode the Bike of The Month (my crowning achievement!) bike to Manning Park, BC yesterday. It's a challenge to hang with the modern sportbike gang!

Let's see if i still remember how to do this. Took a ride through southern Ohio on Sunday to stay at a motel in St. Clairsville so I could have some fun in West Virginia. As always, state routes 56, 278, and 78 did not disappoint me but the real excitement was riding down US 250 on Monday. If you haven't had a chance to do that road then you must make time to start it in Wheeling and head south. Construction at the start of 250 caused the GPS to warn of a road closure which I easily navigated around but the GPS kept telling me that all of 250 was closed. I swore for about ten miles the GPS got mixed up thanks to the construction only to find, after ignoring the last detour warning, that the road was indeed closed thanks to a downed power line. Fortunately, the sheriff and a local person advised me to go back to where the GPS said to last turn and swing down and around the issues. From then on I had the road mostly to myself until lunch time. Of course, had i more time I would have done the full route but sadly I had to cut west on US 50 if I wanted to get home at any decent hour. Which I did about 830 Monday night with 714 miles for the weekend and 400 of them on Sunday alone.

Some pictures using my new to me camera:

Had to channel my inner Redman later on OH-278. I missed a side road by just that much as I slowed and stopped to get off the road so the tire is pretty close to the line but fortunately I didn't get hit by anyone

After settling into the hotel and having a mediocre steak in St. Clairsville (don't they know what seasoning is?), I rode over to see the Wheeling Suspension Bridge built in 1849 and was the longest one of its kind for many many moons.

I went back the next morning for a daytime picture and noticed they were setting up for a Memorial Day service. Sadly I didn't have the time to stay for it like I would have liked.

Nice pic, Danny.
I think those Hindle exhausts look and sound great.
