Haven't stopped riding, yet. Gotta watch those wet leaves, though! Got in too deep a couple times. But, didn't go down. 70's today.

I thought I knew most of the good roads around here, but this was the first time I'd been on this one. It was a treat to find such a nice road within 5 minutes of my house. I actually found it on Motorcycle Roads US;

Still riding here too...
Some -8'C mornings but the PMs are in the +10'C's
Plenty warm enough for me... Very Happy

Yep, did many miles! I too discovered some new back roads, always a score in NJ.

We got hit with that storm too. Haven't seen the house, neighbors said it was OK, they sent pics of the beach and it is G-O-N-E. Waves are hitting right against the dunes! Sad

Its going to be a rough winter.

I've been riding everyday that I've not been working or tied up with leaf duty. Have done a couple runs to London. Had visit with BBrandt a week or so ago. Hooked up with CDN1100F (Chris) last Sat. for breakfast and a Blackbird spotting expedition. Just came back from a short "out and back" on the RR-R. I love the cooler weather for riding,..the protective gear is no trouble to wear when it's a bit cool out,..no mental conflict regarding it's use. I'll keep riding until the salt hits the roads then everything will be parked for the season.

Yup... Just with a fishing pole.

This is a little 5 lb striper on the rear hook and a cocktail bluefish on the front!

I really need to go for a bike ride though. Rolling Eyes

Wow. Great pics. Ride safe guys. Stretch it out as far as possible. I did this year. Last ride was 40 degF at mid-day about a month ago.

That first picture, what a view!! :O

Awesome.

Over here it's still possible. As long as there's no snow/ice it's all good.

We have finally received some nice riding weather in S.W. Ontario.
Check out the pictures from the little get together in Port Dover last Friday (13)
It was NICE!! Too bad we didn't take any pics on the way there, beautiful ride along the Lake Erie shoreline.

What's up with those wheels, shocks etc? Are they stock? Laughing

I rode all day 78 F here today. Tattoo

Yep, still riding. But then again, I guess I have a slight geographical advantage. No pics but I did take a 300 mile ride for lunch today.

Peter,
Nice pictures, I like that Integra. Did you modify the rear fender?

Still riding down in this corner of the country, actually we usually ride all year round. Don't have to worry too much about rain or snow, just fires.

Take care, ride safe.

Yeah, the weather was perfect yesterday. I rode up to Home Depot to pick something up for a project and I managed to take the long way both there and back. We count as east coasters too right?

Still going Pete, did 300 miles Sunday. I'm closing in on 10,000 miles this year but I don't think I'll get there before the shit hits the fan. Bike and scenery looks great.

I was just thinking about starting a thread about this on the way into work this morning. But Pete you beat me to the punch. Still riding did about 120 miles yeasterday and will do another 100 or so today. Although its to work and back still riding.

Be safe

Put the first 15 miles on my "F" on Sunday. It was nice and I didn't break down so I consider it a success... now we have rain for the next 3 days

Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 3:34 pm

SOOOOOO, put the rain gear on and ride it brother

Took a short ride yesterday on the Wing with the better half...just going in a big 150 mile circle, nice day sunny and in the low 70's. So I got up today and decided to take the 750F out for a run to the mountains. Well the weather was not totally co-operating, but still I went. A bit overcast, but still a rideable day. My destination was an apple stand in the N. Ga mountins..they have a really good fried apple pie and other items. Got there on a couple nice twisty roads and then onto a 4 lane hwy. But one I got there the skys opened up. Got my fried apple pie and a coffee... and a few things for the wife (apple, cherry and blackberry "butter"). On the return I also stopped a a winery in the mountians and purchased two bottles of local wine (nice Cab Sav and Cab Franc). All in all the ride was about 180 miles...just got in and now I have to clean the 750F.

Need to get my camera mount back on the bike...could have had pictures to show you guys!

High's near 60 for the next week sure makes it hard to pull the bike off the road. I'm hoping to do one more ride to P'town (tip of Cape Cod). Spike you know the route only this time absolutely NO traffic. Laughing

Yeah that was a nice trip but the traffic was a bit of a pain but nice anyway. Next year we should do it again but spend a little more time at p town
