New England one way-tour

[mriddle]

I am flying to Manchester New Hampshire next Wednesday to pick up Jethro's 1983 GS1100E. \\/

Leaving there, I will ride to South Portland Maine to visit some family for a couple of days.

The weekend of October 20 and 21 will be my longest weekend of riding (should come in at just about 1000 miles) as I make my way back to Kentucky.

I will post up as I can. ..

Keeping my fingers crossed for the weather for you!

Thanks Scott ..

I meant to ask Jethro if he would zip tie the kickstand up to the frame so that I won't be able to take off with it down.

Your getting yourself a sweet bike!

I have been begging him to sell it to me for quite a while now, unfortunately some transmission work on my civic basically tied up the funds.

You have no idea how jealous I am right now!

Enjoy The ride, you have the perfect time of year for this area, nice brisk mornings to wake you up, then nice afternoons to pile on the miles in comfort!

You're going to love that bike. Now we know who the the buyer is. Jethro was a little secretive at first.

Maybe we can still hook up for a beer or whatever when you get to Maine.

Jethro was very helpful today and it was a pleasure doing business with him.

I had a wonderful ride up the coast this afternoon.

After a couple of days visiting my sister's family, will be heading out for the (almost) 1000 mile ride home this weekend.

I think that I am going to like this bike very much.

Hard not to love New England, and what a great reason to go! Have a safe and wonderful trip back, and take (and post) lotsa pics!

 

[edbot]

Nice pics of Nubble Light. Made a few dives there over the years. Have a safe trip home!

 

[Jethro]

Very nice pics. I am already regretting letting that bike go, but on the bright side, I put a wrench on the 81 for the first time in over two years. Next spring I hope to have it back in action. Have a safe trip buddy!

 

[mriddle]

I can certainly see how you would miss it.

I hope to take good care of it and give it plenty of use.

That is what these old GSs like best if I understand it right!

I knew I saw him heading there.
I saw you.:?

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.
