187 miles, after yesterday’s storm my allergies were in check lol. Went 55W to Front Royal and then north to Berkeley Springs and 9E back home. Temperature dropped to low 50, so, call me a wimp, but I’ve stopped and closed my lowers
Prolly just about 200. My son nd I rode from South Jersey up to Frenchtown for the "Gathering of the Nortons."
No, it was not a family reunion of of Ralph Cramdon's buddy from "The Honeymooners" but rather a display and get-together of really cool vintage British bikes, Jap bikes, Guzzis, Triumphs, Urals, Aerials, Vincents, BMWs and what not along with some Harleys thrown in for good measure. Old bikes, old bikers, good times,
Meandered back through a circuitous route in and out of Pennsylvania and crisscrossing the Delaware River to eventually make it to a bar for a burger and beer when who is sitting next to us but a buddy (MC member) and his wife.
All in all a good ride, good day and good time.
Confession/disclosure: There was heavy rain last night and the roads were wet. There was a light rain when we departed though conditions were forecast to improve. I was going to take the Road Glide, but the V-Strom as already dirty and muddy from a sort of "adventure" (long story) so I took the V-Strom 1000. My son rode his Clubbed-Out Street Bob - if that counts.
The Carolina Girl and I rode 137 miles today on Belinda. She ran great and is so much run on the two lane back country roads.
We are doing the Daniel Boone highway marker challenge. We got three today, have three more to get in NC, one in VA and one in TN.
It was overcast and low 60’s.
East Bend, NC
Wilkesboro, NC
Mocksville, NC
We stopped by the Wilkesboro Motor Speedway to see the renovation progress.
The last stop was one of our favorites. We both love what they have done to the downtown area of Elkin. There are many nice restaurants and our favorite is “Southern on Main”. We enjoyed a very nice lunch today.
Black eyed pea cake. Excellent!
Meatloaf
Chicken Fried Steak

The Carolina Girl and I took Ginger for a cruise on Saturday.
First stop was at a Daniel Boone marker for our HOG Chapter challenge. Second stop was at Smokin HD to pick up my new service manual. The third stop was at the VFW in Kernersville to visit the moving Vietnam Wall.
