I needed to catch up on riding time!Glad to hear you were able to toss the list to the side yesterday , Bride . That's funny and I'm sure you told 2beers all about the beautiful foliage ... LOL ...
Bear Mtn Bridge
Bear Mtn Bridge is somewhere we used to ride or drive to back in our younger years...we're originally from North Jersey and that was a Sunday trip destination. I was visiting Mom a couple of weeks ago and took her up around Greenwood Lake for the first time in about 20 years...she enjoyed it.

Blue is his 800, Princess is my 800...and my Honda Shadow came along to help me get riding again after 25 years off 2 wheels. Problem is there's an imbalance in the garage, lol...I have been informed that I can't say 'no' if he finds a second bike he'd like to add to the stable!Yeah it got cold here last night all the way down to 64*f i almost had to wear a jacket on my way into work this morning :-D. Good for you being able to grab a bike and go. My wife would be harshly scolded if she took my bike out while i was stuck at work lol doesn't keep her from doing it though :-P. I am excited for my day off and riding with the veterans tomorrow should be a blast
Be safe and enjoy that Veterans Day ride!

The house we are in had covers for the gutters; they are perforated, clip on to the gutters, and work great. We get no leaves in our gutters. Might be something to use..... more Drifter time with no gutters to clean....

- November 10, 2014, 13:50:00 PMToday is probably the last nice day for the foreseeable future. High today is 72. High for tomorrow is 38° F with it getting down to 23° F tonight. Quite the temperature swing for 24 hours. Then this weekend there is a chance for "wintery mix" aka sleet and freezing rain. We tend to get ice instead of snow in kansas. What all that means is that today I am going to ride for a couple of hours before the front moves through.

Troll good to see you tooling around the KW . Man 8" of snow heading your way , huh . Please try to keep that white stuff around your area for a little while as I'm not done riding yet 
I put Ma-Deuce up for the winter going on two weeks now , but were still having some nice weather around these parts . Actually it's been in the upper 50's - low 60's witch is very surprising , this time of year . Did a nice 200 mile ride yesterday and actually stopped up at Perkin's Point . This overlooks Bear Mtn Bridge and was a beautiful scenery this time off year .

I've skipped a couple of weekend of riding in the 50's and windy, lol. It'll be going there again later this week...glad I took advantage of it yesterday!40 and ugly here, yesterday, but I took the W out, anyway. They are predicting as much as 8" of $now on Monday night, into Tuesday, and temps down into the teens.....and not Celsius, either!!!

- November 10, 2014, 05:41:33 AMHey, it's The Bride. It was a beautiful Sunday in GA yesterday, temp almost hit 70! 2beers was out on the road in the Big Truck, and I was working on my winter flower garden...then I just couldn't resist. I tossed my 'to do' list to the 'do it later' pile, grabbed my helmet, aired up the tires, and headed to the gas station on Princess.
My original intent was to take a short ride, then return to the house to switch bikes and take my Honda Shadow for a ride, too. Well, two hours into enjoying the changing colors of the autumn leaves, gently guiding the lowered Drifter along some 35 mph winding back roads, I ran into two of our good friends who were just leaving for a ride on their bikes (she rides a Victory King Pin, he rides a Triumph Rocket III). They didn't need to ask twice when they suggested I join them!
So, four hours and 90 miles later, Princess and I pulled back into the garage. I haven't stopped smiling yet
