We hung out there a bit, ML did sweet jumps and then we headed out.
Did silly things like explore some sort of abandoned coal strip mine.
FYI, coal dust is not the best thing for breathing in case you didn't know.
Long run back from there.
We're wiped now.
No riding today, just loading him up and sending him home a beaten and broken man.

160 miles the first day, probably close to half was not on pavement.

260+ the second day.

Here is the man admiring himself in the parking lot next to the Roebling Bridge in Lackawaxen.



He's not actually all that vain. He's just trying to be surreptitious about his love of CanAm Spyders.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Agreed.  I laughed my ass off when I found that one.

O&W Road
I fail at the end
in my defense, I barely touch the ground, the bike stalls easily when it gets very hot (it was an easy 90 out) and off the line traction is very tough.....and I suck at this still  [laugh]

I call him Fatboy not because of what he rode but because I felt like any less MPH passing him would have put me into orbit around him.

I'll definitely be going back again.  I'll post up before I go next time.
