Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far? - Page 49

I took the bike out this morning for about a ten mile round trip.
I went to get my friends cars out of storage, and drove his 70 Olds Cutlass 350 4 speed home. It was a treat to wind it through the gears on the open road. I even put it sideways shifting from 1st to 2nd.

A classic car and the open road are a good thing too!

Rode into work, home then the wife and I went for about a 40 mile ride. Stopped at the local dealership, looked at some bikes (Triumph Rocket III with a sidecar...I'm in love) and bought two new modular helmets for the price of 1. Good day.

Took a nice little ride of 21 miles today. Little cool but with leather gloves I stayed warm enough.

We each took our bike for a 32 mile ride around the loop as we call it. She loves her new 900LT.

I worked in the yard this morning, decided to take the Nomad out for a ride this afternoon. Traveled 70 miles, the temperature was 68 degrees and sunny, perfect day for a ride. I even stopped at the local Kawasaki dealer and looked at a red Vaquero, the first one I have seen. Very Nice!

125 miles of back roads today and loved every minute of it. I think spring may have finally come to New Jersey.

**jlreeves** · 04-02-2011, 06:18 PM

I did about 110 miles from Roswell to Dahlonega, GA. for lunch. Gorgeous day here, sunny and around 65-70. Very windy, 35 MPH head wind gusts going up and cross winds coming back.

Left around 11:00 AM, and rode to Mandeville, LA to eat at " Louie and the Red Head Lady " restaurant. The absolute best New Orleans style food you'll ever eat. Well worth the almost 200 miles round trip.

Had a longer trip planned today, but the day started with a trip to the shop to install a new tire. Seems I had a deep slash in the tread that nearly severed the cords. Fortunately I had a new tire already; just in case. I got to reclaim my Dynabeads for the first time today. After I got the Dynabeads and the new tire installed we rode 360 miles down to Corpus Christi TX and back. The day started in a drizzle with wind and ended warm (87°F) and windy. Winds were out of the SSE at 25 to 30 mph; bounced us around pretty good.

Actually took three rides today. First ride was 100 miles. The road over to fill up. Even took a night ride of 20 miles. Total miles for the day was 122 miles. Great day for a ride.

**ringadingh** · 04-02-2011, 11:34 PM

I just went to the store and back today, it was one of the first nice days here to ride, even my neighbour took his Ultra out for a ride.

**nomadtom69** · 04-03-2011, 05:41 PM

100+ We had a ride to help the people who live about a mile south of me that got hit by a tornado in Greenback Tn. There were over 400 bikes great turn out. That ride was about 40 then I went up on the Mountain over the Foothills Parkway and down Hwy 129 to hwy 72 back to Hwy 411 and home for the other 60 was great.

fish · 04-03-2011, 06:03 PM

we went to cabela's and the long way home 87 miles 55 - 57*

**coacha** · 04-03-2011, 07:09 PM

Wife and I rode with Mike to meet a couple from Georgia down in Clearwater, then rode up to our neck of the woods for some lunch. Mike split off about mid point of ride because he wasn't feeling well. Got in about 230 miles today.

**ringadingh** · 04-03-2011, 07:15 PM

Went up to the lodge again today, I should have kept going for a while longer.
