      Great shots Mike. You got a good week to be here. I took a ride along the coast Tuesday and it was wonderful. Hopefully we can hook up for a drink or a bite or whatever while you're here.

      Hey Geoff, you going to keep it stock or what? I'm thinking of putting pods on my 550. It already has a V&H exhaust, so I need to do something to fix the jetting issues.

        Probably gonna keep it stock. Certainly stock intake and exhaust, since I have those fresh, never been used, stock chrome pipes. And they only add 63 lbs to the bike!8-[

          Maine is a great place. I have taken many rides along the coast. Rockland is also a nice area and also bar harbor. To bad I am in PA right now or I would be on the road.

              None taken .. I was born and raised in the same area in Kentucky, so I like it. Most everyplace is good for someone.

              I thought New Hampshire was very nice too.

              If she had to move far away, I am glad that my sis moved up here (Maine) so that I have a nice place to visit.

                  Update .. (sorry no new pics) aside from a very pleasant visit with my sis and her family, I met emjay for drinks and dinner.

                  Went to a waterfront place in South Portland so I could soak in some foggy views of the harbor as we got to talk bikes. Cool guy and I appreciated his hospitality.

                  Plan is to leave at first break in the precipitation (or after breakfast whichever comes first) on Saturday.

                  Hope to make mid Pennsylvania at least on the first leg. Finish up on Sunday ...

                  Back to work on Monday morning :-|

                        Thanks .. I only made it to Danbury because I got a later start than originally planned. I averaged about 40 miles per hour today including stops. Should make better time on less crowded roads tomorrow.

                        Head out again early Sunday morning and hope to finish up the trip home.

                        Here are a few shots from Cape Elizabeth this afternoon just before I left.

                                I lowered it just a little and leaned it back some. .. when I lean forward, it does help.
