Don, "MotoGuzzler" riders don't hit bears.
Have you decided what to do with your Guzzi yet?

I've got mine up and running again. Checked the valves, for the first
time in a couple years. They're right where they should be. All that
money for gaskets wasted!

New plugs, new lubes everywhere, clean air filters, and new u-joint.
It's all ready for the trip to Maine, NH, Vermont, and upstate NY in
September. Send us some good weather!

Awesome, John! Hey, when you get ready for that trip, let me know, I'll
show you some beautiful places to visit in NY. A little later would be
more colorful, but then you may get some frost on the gas tank!!!!

Here's our itinerary. Tell me what you think.

I start on Tuesday. We will meet in Elmhurst, PA. Then...

Wednesday (Day 1): Elmhurst PA to Woodstock VT -- 385 Miles.

http://www.mapquest.com/mq/5-_NzKg2nxF*lVeE3F

Friday (Day 3): Bar Harbor ME to Newport VT -- 348 Miles.

You are staying pretty far east of my stomping grounds. But that is a
very beautiful area where you are skirting the Catskills. I've been to
Margarteville many times when we'd go camping/canoing in the area. Near
there there is a fantastic farmer's market with local homemade stuff.
Grand Gorge is a cool little town too! One thing you'll notice alot
around these parts. Things don't change! The little town I lived in
looks almost the same as it did 25 years ago. Take rain gear. In the
fall it can drizzle for days, but it's beautiful. Have fun!

We naturally take rain gear, but I sure hope it stays dry. I'm not
wild about riding in the rain, especially on twisy roads with leaves
down. Yuck.

But, us girliemen gotta do what we gotta do, while those 'real manly
types' in Nova Scotia fetch the beer and suckle. :-)

97 along the Delaware, is a nice ride, but entering at Lackawaxen, you
miss the best part, Hawk's Nest. It's about 5 miles north of Port
Jervis, and is almost worth the extra miles. Nice twisties, although too
short.

112 between Lincoln and Conway, NH, is also called the Kancamagus
Highway. It will probably be the highlight of your day.



Friday (Day 3): Bar Harbor ME to Newport VT -- 348 Miles.
http://www.mapquest.com/mq/2-ZQWp4Ur4IB6yuwvvSMhJ

When you get to Gorham, NH, you are only about 10 miles north of the Mt.
Washington Auto Road. Something to consider, if you have never done it
before.



Saturday (Day 4): Newport VT -- Amsterdam NY and Scranton PA To
Scranton: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/5-aciTC6Jw

Sunday - Scranton PA to Alexandria, VA by fastest route possible.

I'll pass your comments on to my youngest brother. We, the two oldest,
are letting him plan the route so he'll feel important.

Thanks for the tips.

Stupid maybe. His statement:
"I hit the ground at 90 kilometres per hour and I only got a few
scratches,"
Lee Dale of Riverview, N.B., said Tuesday as he sipped a coffee
from a straw
in his hospital bed.
Dale has a broken left foot, five cracked ribs, a damaged
shoulder and a
broken right thumb."

He says he only got a few scratches? Needs a brain to tell him
broken bones
are not scratches.
Well, that's probably all he could see. If you can't see it, it
ain't
there, y'know.
An intelligent person wouldn't have hit the bear in the first place!
An intelligent person would have read for content and noticed that
the bear hit the biker.
Wake up & smell the moonshine, Kevin.

How would loogy know what an "intelligent person" would do?


Now that is an excellent point!



Good boy, dummy! Here's your biscuit! Now go run and play!
An intelligent person would know how to maneuver a motorcycle to avoid
something like a bear.

There is no way in hell he could run a straight line - at 30mph.
