Favorite motorcycle day of 07?

One near the top of my list would just be an open house at the dealer I bought my bike. You could sign up for test rides on different bikes and I ended up going for about 2 1/2 hours of test rides.

Checking out different bikes was fun. I liked the Yamaha FJ1300. By hanging back a little at the rear, then catching up, I was able to go 120mph a few times. Suzuki had a fast cruiser, can't remember the name of it, but it was fast.

Just the atmosphere of being early in the riding season, lots of bike type guys talking bikes, eating bbq, and test riding a bunch of bike was a pretty fun day.

A close 2nd would just be one of the day rides that I went on here in Colorado. I usually go about 300 miles and find a road that I haven't been on yet. The ride from my sig line stands out as one of the really good ones.

Any day that I got to ride in 07 was a favorite day.

My favorite day in 2007 was the three days I spent riding Utah. It'll be a while before something tops that.

Easy, September 29th, 2007; Fallen Officer Memorial Ride. About 200 bikes raising money for a Memorial to honor Officers that have given their lives in the line of duty in this area. Great ride, lots of bikes and bikers and good food, and we raised a bunch of money. Mine was the only yellow bagger there. Seen one real good looking Purple Nomad with a fantasy paint job of skulls deep in the purple. Only two Nomads there.
Ride safe,
Dano

I can't say they were my favorite day's but they were the most honorable day's. When I stood guard at the repatriation of our Canadian fallen soldiers. We the CAV ride to Trenton to meet the flight coming in with the wounded and the dead.Then its the 100 mile ride on the Highway of Heroes to Toronto. There were to many days like that this year and we have another one this Wednesday. With the starting of the new year I hope there won't be many this year.

My ride through Vermont and the Adirondacks. Perfect weather for riding and site seeing.


Hey Dan Lund.....I think the Suzuki you're talking about is the M109.

Got to be two:

First was the first trip on the new Nomad. 150 miles and I felt like the king of the road on my new wheels.

Second was leading a group of about 1500 riders in our local March of Dimes "Bikers for Babies" charity ride.

Happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous new year to all.
Joe

A perfect June day when me and my wife rode out to Price, UT on highway 6. Did 300 miles that day while grandma and grandpa watched the babies.

The day last Fall when I rode the Cherohala Skyway. The day was beautiful and the Fall colors were out in all their glory. That was the longest ride I've taken so far, about 400 miles and 9 hours from leaving to getting back home. The only downside was having to ride through metro Atlanta going and coming. It was sure worth it though.

Two days come to mind:

1) The annual ride the wife and I take down the La Bahia Scenic Highway, FM390, just down the road from Bryan/College Station. The best time obviously is during the start of the growing season in March.

2) The day I got my Cobra True Dual Slashcuts in. I was exhausted when I got home from work that day, and only set out to unbox everything. Well, long story short, I wound up doing the whole swap-out that night.
