Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far? - Page 40

31C here today we took a 5 minute ride to the ocean to get cooled down. Stayed there all day watched fishing boats come and go . The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world plus its usually 10-15 degrees cooler with a nice sea breeze. I work on the ocean, it seems I just can't stay away from it. My wife keeps a jar of salt water in the fridge for me,when I am home for awhile I get hard to live with. She just opens the jar ,one good sniff and all is well.lol

Just finished a 3300 mile, 9 day trip. From Minnesota to North Dak, Montana, Glacier N.P., Idaho, Yellowstone N.P., Big Horns N.P. Wyoming, Black Hills, SD. (NO, not Sturgis!) and back to MN.
The BEST were Going to the Sun Road in Glacier NP, Montana Hwys 56/472, US 191 at Big Sky MT, Hwy 296/120 N of Cody WY, US 14 at Shell Canyon WY, Spearfish Canyon/Iron Mountain/Needles Hwys west of Rapid City SD. ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL!
These are roads that will round off the flat edges of your tires.

Isn't anybody else retired besides Ray2 and me? I rode down to his town to meet him for
the first time. We met here on the V.B.A site. Was nice to meet a fellow Bagger. I only
joined about a month ago. About 370 mi. Round trip.

Retired in Tennessee trying to get my elec. connections to my fairing straighten out and some cool weather the 100 is too hot

**Cajunrider** · 08-11-2012, 11:19 PM

Rolled up 122 miles today. 40 of those miles were with my 6 year old grandson riding shotgun. First afternoon without thunderstorms in over a month.

**ringadingh** · 08-12-2012, 08:28 AM

I put on about 2000 miles earlier this week. Started here at home, ran down to York Pa, then through the Shenandoah Valley, along the Blue Ridge Pkwy into West Virginia, and the last stop was Summerville WV before I came back home. I would have continued on further had I not developed some transmission problem on the third day.

I just got back from looking at a new motor for my bike, he couldn't show it to me running yet, I'll wait and go back. It was still a nice 125 mile ride with only a little rain.
