Good Day All,

We started out at Dari Serv in Durham. Out 148 and stopped in Chester for a bite. Continued on to the the castle where we dispersed for other Sunday commitments. Scott and I finished up the loop I posted earlier. I went out later for another 100 miles of shoreline riding. Nice day.

Sorry I missed this, but it was a busy weekend for me. Once the baby comes (due next week), I should be able to get out and ride more and not worry about going too far from home.

Yup. Just put a dish of food out, wrap it up in Duck tape and stick it in the closet. It'll be fine when you get back.

Now see, I'm one of the lucky ones, whose wife doesn't mind him riding. She will have no problem with me taking off from time to time for a nice ride while she stays home with the baby. And since when are you and expert anyway?

I am too, plus my wife like to ride 2 up and is actually good at it. She knew right from the beginning how to lean into the turns. The funny thing is sometimes I'm finding myself compensating for her over eagerness to lean, lol.

Gerry, thanks for the invite, was good to see you and meet some new peeps, really nice crew and I look forward to riding with you again.
And big thanks to Todd for letting me try your GTS, what I found remarkable was how unremarkable the handling was. I was expecting it to feel quite different but it just felt like any other good handling bike, very cool machine you have there.

Hey Eric, we saw you heading up route 80 when we were dropping my step daughter off. Wish we could've stayed out longer, but had a cool ride back with Todd.
