Title: 7 hours, 200+ miles Post by earlytimz on 07/05/10 at 22:19:07 We met at 10am and headed north up Hwy 185. We were representing a small variety of manufacturers. An 1100 V-star, an 800 Vulcan & old trusty... http://i49.tinypic.com/fa1kj7.jpg First stop was at Rough River Lake state park. We decided to take a break & have lunch at the lodge. I thought the huge flag was very appropriate for the 4th of July weekend. http://i47.tinypic.com/rm8lee.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2jeu2ih.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/10755y8.jpg The next stop was a quickie for a cold drink. http://i50.tinypic.com/2edmpzb.jpg Then we made our way back south, and a little east to Nolin Lake state park. http://i48.tinypic.com/14deiza.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2yknxps.jpg We continued south and headed through Mammoth Cave National park. The ride was awesome! http://i50.tinypic.com/n1cg1u.jpg We crossed the Green River on 2 different ferries. Pictures may not be in order & some of them I stole. http://i47.tinypic.com/29atqb9.jpg Waiting for the ferry. http://i49.tinypic.com/v5wltg.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/25ji548.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2illcn5.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/25sy421.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/jkyt7b.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/n4jl0w.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2u9o3km.jpg It was an awesome day to ride! The savage performed without a flaw. I even wore my helmet all day as I'm a firm believer in SOTGSOTT (some of the gear, some of the time) Little Sturgis is next weekend but I can't make it this year. Maybe next time... |

Title: Re: 7 hours, 200+ miles Post by gerald.hughes on 07/05/10 at 22:33:11 Great pics. I look at them, and I wish that I had been along. The scenery was terrific, so different from what we have here in Arizona. I guess that the grass really is greener on the other side of the Rockies. |

Title: Re: 7 hours, 200+ miles Post by earlytimz on 07/05/10 at 22:50:03 Thanks y'all We don't try to show each other up, just along for the ride man... The easier the better, as far as I'm concerned. I gotta say though, everyone was complaining about the sore a$$, even the V-star with the $400 Mustang seat. Mine never got that bad. I still believe my thin little solo seat is still the most comfortable seat my a$$ has ever had the pleasure of meeting! Ever! I really wish I could show ALL the great scenery we've got around here. There's a lot of really cool stuff that's impossible to get pictures of without stopping. Arizona has a beauty that I find absolutely amazing & I regret not seeing it since the mid 90's... |

Title: Re: 7 hours, 200+ miles Post by babyhog on 07/06/10 at 05:53:29 Very nice pictures. I love seeing other people's trips. I didn't take as many pictures along the way, but hubby and I rode almost 300 miles, 10 hours on Monday. Yea, my A$$ was dead! My whole body was dead. We are taking a long weekend in 2 weeks, rented a cabin at Holly River State Park, so we decided to take the ride yesterday to pick a route. 160 miles there on back roads, hit the interstate on the way home and cut 40 miles off. I must say I was proud of the Piglet, ran 60-65 for 50+ miles of interstate. (I'm not an interstate rider, but truthfully, I was tired of the curvy back road!) Just wanted to get home. I will say that was too many miles for me in one day. We stopped once to eat lunch, a couple times to get a cold drink, potty, etc. Stayed at the park maybe an hour, but a lot of riding.... I even voluntarily drove the car to work today... Here are a few pics I took: http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Holly%20River/PIC-0839.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Holly%20River/PIC-0832.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Holly%20River/PIC-0833.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Holly%20River/PIC-0836.jpg |
