I haven?t been on my bike in over a month. The last time I rode was just a short ride around Brooklyn and I haven?t taken a real ride this year. :oops: You guys been out at all?

I had by bike out last week. Then again, mine weighs only 19lbs and has no engine.

Yeah, I did the CT Dream Ride in the pouring rain in August 22nd. I've also done 1 other ride to Lake Candlewood, CT.

Other then that it's just around town and to and from work for me.

I'm hoping Sept. 19th to take a trip to L.I. for the day to see a friend and cruise a little bit.

I'll be coming back from Scott's and then going to the Jets game or I'd try to join you.

Are you going to the MNF Game Tom. I'll be there working it. We go down on Friday and then I'll get out of there Tuesday Morning.

I don't know how much free time I'll have since I'm training, but would love to at least say hi if you're around.

Yes I am. I don?t know where we will be tail gating because this will be the first time I?ll be at the new stadium. I?m hoping to get there by 4 but am not sure since I?ll be coming in from PA Monday afternoon and then going to the game. You can give me a call at the game if you have time (nine one 7- six nine seven- one five 84) and I'll buy you a beer.
Sorry I have not kept up with you Eric, what are you training for? Still have the same bike?

Yep, I still ride. I usually get it out a couple of times a week.

Was up to Rhinebeck earlier this year for a BMW motorcycle rally. Some really nice, old bikes -- mostly airheads.

On October 1 & 2 (Friday & Saturday), I am running to Hunter Mountain NY for a combination motorcycle rally and Octoberfest. Did that run last year, and had a great time. It is a little funny, a bunch of bikers and some German people in Lederhosen and Dirdnls drinking beer. Google Color In The Catskills for the motorcycle side of the event.

Starting this thread made me have to get the bike out today even if it was for a short bullshit ride.

Wiped her down and took the long way to Nathan?s;

I scored a couple of ?Famous Frankfurters?, a regular size of their excellent fries and a beverage. Chilled on the bike and watched all of the wild looking people that hang out in Coney Island while I ate. Had a idiot with Michigan plates pull a u-turn in front of me causing a bit of brake lock/dipsy doodle/ass pucker/flip the bird/cursing action on the way out. Got home safe.

Felt good.

Well, 1st I can say no beer for me. I'll be working. I will be going out potentially Fri and Sat nights if anyone is around.

I'm training to operate audio on the road for things such as ESPN The Weekend, Sportscenter from ______, Baseball Tonight from World Series, etc. I'll be training with our lead guy who does Monday Night Countdown from site.

Yup, I still have my 650 VStar. Since the engine re-build it's been running great and I've done some odds and ends changes to it.

Most people haven't kept up with me b/c I haven't been the greatest with it either. Changes at work have caused me to re-evaluate some finances and that means less off-roading as I'd be SOL if I broke something.

Sorry if I hi-jacked the thread at all.

My number will come to you via PM. Delete your number from here if you wish, I grabbed it.

I sold my bike last year to get the truck and trailer since my X isn't really up for the longer trips.

But, I've started looking around for a frame as I'm going to try and build a bike.

I just turned over 12k miles on my '06. Need some tires bad. I've been driving it to work and back every chance I get. It's a 70mi round trip and the bike gets a lot better milage than the X

I put more miles on my bike than my truck this past year. :D (it helps that I ride year round I guess)

Game on. I am doing two runs this weekend.

The first is a charity "puzzle" run on Saturday (late morning - early afternoon).

Then, later in the day I am heading out on my club's annual run - Snapping Turtle Run. I'll be partying and camping along the Delaware outside of Port Jervis.

Anthony, you are NUTS for riding to B2S, then back with the reverse light bar attached. LOL

I like the warn winch pull being used as a red flag. LOL
