Good morning Day 3...
We got shushed out of the campground by some grumpy lady for being too noisy in the morning, and starting our bikes up to warm them up. Funny thing is, she was with a huge group of bmw bikers. I think most of them trailered their bikes to the camp ground. It was pretty lame one of the guys couldn't come over and ask us to keep it down, instead having one of their old ladies come over to bitch us out. Anyways...we didn't have much to pack up so we headed out not too long after that. This is just down the road from the state park we camped..we talked about eating a quick breakfast but they didn't have much options and we were still a little irritated by the grumpy old lady so we said fuk it and started our ride for the day...and it's a good thing too because we would soon find one of the best breakfast diners ever. It was another beautiful morning to ride. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-42-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-43-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-45-L.jpg time for breakfast.. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-46-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-47-L.jpg i didn't get their waffle, but one of the other guys did and said it was the best damn waffle he's ever had in his life! so good that he ordered a second one! http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-49-L.jpg a quick pit stop in a small VT town.. any guesses what this is??? lol. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-52-L.jpg we parked here a bit since we had to make a turn and was waiting for couple others to catch up. we were soon advised by the local leo to move along, that we shouldn't be parked on the sidewalk like that. i guess we were still in the philly parking mode...as long as pedestrians can pass, sidewalk parking is OK. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-53-L.jpg roads are not too shabby for having such harsh winters up here. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-54-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-59-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-61-L.jpg dinner time! we don't see much of these anymore. pretty good food, excellent service. we're in NH now. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-62-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-63-L.jpg we stayed at KOA tonight...we rented this caboose. it was an uneventful night. no campfire explosions this time. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-65-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...0Tour-66-L.jpg |
Day 5. back on the road..
http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-246-L.jpg he's paranoid about running out of gas so he tops it off all the way to the brim. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-249-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-253-L.jpg bridge repair.. lucky for us there's a ferry and not some lame ass detour. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-258-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-13-2-L.jpg our cabin for the next few days. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-264-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-16-2-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-17-2-L.jpg lcoal place for dinner. the adirondacks are a little run down in some parts. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-15-2-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-278-L.jpg I think this is Day 6 now. Funny how the days seem to go by so quickly while on the road. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-282-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-20-2-L.jpg dinner at home. some working harder than others. ha. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-301-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-302-L.jpg probably still drunk from last night. not a pretty night for captain morgan. that's all i say about that. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-21-2-L.jpg Day 7, i think.. after a long night of drinking, most of the guys were still groggy and wanted to bum around the cabin. i think they ended up watching some hbo movie about the stock market crash and crooked traders. no one wanted to ride so i went out solo. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-307-L.jpg saw a few others along the way. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-308-L.jpg most do not wave back. oh well, safe travels for you anyways. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-309-L.jpg didn't really need the radar out here, but just in case.. i've received enough gifts from local neighborhood officers. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-316-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-317-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-319-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-320-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-323-L.jpg almost the end of my loop. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-329-L.jpg dinner time! http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-332-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-335-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-336-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-341-L.jpg nice little spot. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-338-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-347-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-350-L.jpg really nice way to break up the middle of a long trip with some r&r. but, it's time to ride again, i'm looking fwd to hitting the road again. |
Day 8... the end of our trip is near.
http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-356-L.jpg i like this bag, but it's little too big for what i tend to pack. it can expand even bigger from what you see. i try to pack light and bring only what i need for my moto trips. i ended up trading this for a smaller size, which is perfect IMO for week long trips. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-357-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-358-L.jpg unfortunately, one of us had an emergency back at home, so he had to break off and highway slab it back. matt head back with him to keep him company. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-359-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-360-L.jpg 3 of us ride on to our usual primitive camping spot in NY. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-363-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-369-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-375-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-380-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-382-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-389-L.jpg really feels like home, we've been here so many times. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-393-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-396-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-400-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-402-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...our-23-2-L.jpg dinner at the lazy beagle. great little restaurant. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-414-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-408-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-410-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-415-L.jpg http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-418-L.jpg Day 9... it's a deary day, and rain was in the forecast. not bad for being on the road all this time this is the first sight of crappy weather. this combined with one of having very close to bald tires... we decide head back home...only a day's ride from here. a good trip overall. it was a nice change of pace from our usual trips with 300+ miles per day of twisty backroads of the south. http://songyi.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...Tour-420-L.jpg |
