A Rare Post
It dawned on me today that I usually only post when I'm angry, disappointed, confused, indecisive, bored, or otherwise discontented.
Why is this? Human nature I suppose. But today I'm going against the grain and posting a unique thread with nothing but good news.
The weather in the northeast has been incredible riding weather--sunny and 70s for the past week and more to come next week.
My bike's running great.
I have spare time to ride.
Wife and kids are healthy and life is all around pretty good.
Well, there you go.
We all should take a moment to post when things are going well.
So much doom and gloom in these threads...hell, that's no fun.
Here's to a great fall everybody!

Yep, same here. Great fall week-end.
Fair amount of riding, yesterday was an afternoon trip to the Finger Lake region, visited a Micro-brew pub and sip-sampled several seasonal offerings. Bought a growler of my favorite home to sample larger quantities safely at my leisure.
Still breaking in my recent mods on the bike, the old girl runs like a champ, and has lots more steam. I'm a happy camper.
Just now I received some images from my recent trip out west (Before the floods.
) taken by one of our crews daughter. I have to sort them out, but she got one image with us running the track at Miller Motorsports (By Salt Lake city.) mixing it up with the racing side cars just for fun!
Nothing like turning 30-40 old farts loose on a race track, all kinds of bikes, all levels of skills, then letting side car rigs out to weave through us as we we did our best to mimic racers on the track. Great fun, and we managed to do our laps without anyone doing anything damaging.

yes, life is good and we live in a great country. i know that i am guilty of over looking all the good around me and focusing on the bad...need to work on that! life is just one long ride, and there will be some bumps and pot holes along the way. need to focus on that final destination and enjoy the ride. hope every one of you has a great day.
