Southern Md used to be a great place to ride with lots of little winding country roads criss crossing the 3 or 4 southern counties. There is really nothing like that here. Roads tend to be long straight 2 lane blacktops. We have some great roads over by the mountains, or over the mountains in WV. Southern MD is too boring. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

My old diesel mechanic was riding his bike in the boondocks somewhere around here and hit a turkey vulture with his head. Neither he or the vulture survived. His widow is now married to the brother in law of my present diesel guy. Small world. The birds around here are not very car savvy it seems. I once had a young eagle fly up right in front of my truck as I was driving on a back road. It was a *very* close call for both of us. A friend hit a bear in Shenandoah River State Park. The bear ran off, he busted a collarbone, and his brand new Triumph was in bad shape. I've had close calls with stupid auto drivers, but have been lucky as far as animals go. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

I encourage Herring to buy a new, fast motorcycle, and spend a lot of time riding it on I-95 between Fairfax County and Richmond, Virginia, and, of course, around the Washington Beltway. Already doing that with a bigger, faster bike! -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

Considering Herring's age, brittleness, and general health, perhaps he should consider this motorcycle: https://ibb.co/MpVQJDT Well, I'd sure not be able to handle that big Ducati you've bragged about owning! -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

I suppose that depends on which roads you are on. There are/were some interesting rides down through southern PG and Chuck county if you stayed off the ones with numbers on them. |

My brothers and I spen four days in Elkins, and each day we'd take a different tour. Beautiful state. That whole Monongahela National Forest was made for motorcyclists! Our camping club spent a weekend camping over there and took a ride on the Cass Railroad. Saw a few eagles while winding along the river. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
