Default Tried to get lost today..
Well the way the winter has been in the Northeast, i have been trying to get the bike out as much as i can. Today was no exception. I had a work meeting bright and early and was able to get home around 10:00 a.m. It was fore-casted that today would reach right about 50 degrees. So on the scooter i went! I am not all that photogenic nor a great story teller but i can say that today was one of those rides that makes me say, this is why i ride. Put on right about 150 miles that had me winding through parts of dutchess county NY i haven't been on, through putnum , and who else knows where. But it was one of those rides that just clears the head , you get home , sit down and say damn that was nice !
A few photos to please the eyes.








Oh yea and also had a nice ride to test these out. I want to put on about 1000 miles before i give an in depth review, but all i can say is thank you Howard!!!!

Nothing like a good ride to clear the head. I find myself taking the long way home from work sometimes, just because… Thanks for sharing. BTW, watch out for those slick spots!
