Local Riding and Riding...

I have not started my truck in over 2 weeks, riding to work everyday. That is a good thing with todays gas prices. Regular here is up over 3.40 a gallon. I did some local riding last weekend with Southern Cruisers north of me and am planning on a ride with another Chapter more local this weekend.

Yesterday I road with Rolling Thunder up to the NH Veterans Cemetary where we assisted the staff with their spring grouds cleanup. We had 22 people attend this.

I submitted a route to the IBA for an In State New Hampshire 1000. (1000 miles in 24 hours inside the state lines!) I had hoped to do this run in May but Veterans events, bike maintenance and out of town company will eat my time before I head off to RollingThunder XXI Memorial weekend.

I have decided to another bike. No, I am not replacing the Wing!! I have a Honda Shadow and am going to sell it and get a Dual Sport, a bike that is configured for both paved riding and rough/offroad riding. After much research and conversations with dual sport riders I have decided on the BMW F650 GS model. It appears to have the quality, proper mix of off and on road design and also the one that fits me the best. I am now searching for a used one to purchase.

Have fun everyone!
