Gotta get that coffee.
:yawn: Somehow, and not really sure why, dragged my lazy ass out of bed at 5:45 and was on the road at 6:15 for what used to be referred to as "dawn patrol" on the other riding forum. I hate mornings, but had a great ride, no traffic & minimal animals (1 bird off the shoulder & a close call with a sleepy skunk) got in about 110 miles of CT back roads. No pics, no breakfast, no stops :shredder:
27mi of gnar at October Mountain on Sat, ended up camping as well, what a bizarre little campground. :spit: despite the backside of Felton being closed 'indefinitely' (Felton > October > Switchback), we still rode it, was clear and a little drier than usual. we also stumbled upon a bit of what i assume was the RocktoberFast course from end of June, saw a few signs still up.
crispy fall weather is here :wub: delicious
Knocked out a quick 1300 miles before ‘winter’ hits. Weather was great, only used the heated gear at night.
Ignored signage on PCH and learned road closed really means road closed, only setback of the trip.

Hit some nice roads in Maine today and planning a bigger day tomorrow.
I rolled my K-Pipe & AK550 into my barn yesterday and hooked up battery tenders, I have become a wuss, had my doc sign a handicap plate application too
OOF, that's tough, especially for someone who's ridden in as much winter as you.Quote:

Having a coffee and a crock of French onion soup and the headed to Errol NH and back to Bridgton. Should be about a 220 mile day on the Thruxton.
Here's the route, one of my favorite day loops.

That'll probably be it for the Thruxton for the season. Managed to get 2,000 miles on it while also riding the Tracer 9GT for longer trips.
Took the supermoto out to north Malibu. PCH and many roads remain closed from the fires and subsequent mudslides. It’s amazing how many homes were impacted by the fires this far north. Lots of dirt and debris in the roads so bike choice was spot on and made for a great day.
Note: We were respectful of any work in progress; traffic was extremely light.
Humvees and police blocks remain in place in severely impacted areas.

Neptunes was packed! Considering the closures on PCH we were amazed the volume of people who still ventured out this way.

Neptune’s net! pretty cool, I’ve never ridden motorcycles out there but I recognized it and just looked it up on google maps…I’ve surfed right across the street (at the well known spot called county line)
with the fires out there i assume they will be dealing with mudslides for a while without the vegetation to hold the soil in place...wonder how long will it take to grow back?
Got caught in action riding Kenn’s old Speed Triple. First time out in the new RST gear, I really like it. Sparked a big debate on modular helmets and sport riding…and how I don’t clean mine enough.

To work, freezing my ass off. Felt wonderful though. Best part; no puddle of coolant under the bike!

Sunday in Mass, got the Thruxton out for a quite chilly hour.
The season has begun!

Took the Daytona to Angeles Crest to help my buddy break in his new ZX-10 anniversary.
