Beautiful, isn't it, Joel?!?  Thanks for the pics.  They really highlight what a great riding environment you've emigrated to.  Glad you're enjoying the local scenery!

Yes, it is...want to get out more before the cold spell starts! Thanks for connecting me to US Desmo and Jim. I'm working on becoming a member and do track days. I may get the Aermacchi ready for next year on tracks at Summit Point, TN and GA. Miss riding with our group still...the locals here stare at my bike and suit like I landed from space! It is a college town and as much is stacked in the early 20's head, a suit to that head seems like a clowns uniform and pointless. If I could only walk them through the numerous excursions...Smiley

I did see one local guy on a touring bike go by like a missile while I was capturing pictures, I could not catch him... Tongue he was suited too...that's when I encountered the waterfall effect on a turn...Damn he was good! Reminded me of Paul on Crest.... waytogo

No Panigale, for a while at least. I may have to settle for an 848. I gotta save my money for other things...

2nd ride update through the Appalachia...Morgantown to Moundsville...through state highways and risky, but spectacular country roads...I took Friday half off before the storm to cover the 150 miles in 4 laborious hours! One stretch (Robert's Ridge Road) just before hitting route 2 on country road towards Moundsville was like dragons tail...left right about 10-15 times downhill...you could see about 10 corners in quick succession..., just no room for errors on the entire trip...was exhausted!

Route 250, Co. Rd. Grapevine Ridge, Goshorn, New Bethel...

Did you get blasted by the storm? Looks like another one on the way (Noreaster, not associated with a hurricane).
