5/21/14 Sick day ride

[duganc1717]

Thinking burning a sick day tomorrow, plan will be head to central, MA to Western, MA cut over to lower VT, touch NH and back to central MA. Probably eating breakfast @ the intersection of rte 62 and rte 140 or center of Barre. Pace will pretty mild, it has been a few years since I've been on a bike and only have ~300 miles on my Fz1.

What time?

[duganc1717]

Was thinking I could be @ intersection of 62/140 around 9am? Eat breakfast and be rolling by 10am, I'm flexible though.

Sooo.....about the monster.....I got it in late feb and put it on the tender. Took it out 3 weeks ago for the first ride. Left the house with 7 miles on it and when I stopped 35 min later there was oil leaking out.....badly. Limped it home and it spent the next 2 weeks having the base gasket replaced. I got it back last week and put about 200 miles on and all is good. The motor is fantastic. The only real issue is no wind protection at all.

Track bike getting tires and ready for bogie!!!!!!!

Ended up putting 280 miles on today, Got home little before 5pm. Roads in central MA are not quite as bad as described by some peeps here. All in all great day, hit MA, VT and NH plus a nice dirt road thrown in for good measure....

Maybe next time Manny.

I did 120 miles and that was good for me. Couldn't swing an all day affair!
