The Wife Did 233 Miles on her S40 Today
08/25/13 at 17:48:19

My wife and I went for a ride up to Helen, GA. It's about 120 miles away from the house. I just did a valve adjustment on her scooter and I thought it was time to check out how well I did.

We went the 2-lane road route up to Helen which took 4 hours. A great way to check my work. The bike ran great and got 100 miles and took 1.5 gallons to fill.

I have done a jet kit from Lancer, a raptor petcock, a Dyna muffler, and other little tweaks. The bike runs like a Stallion!

There were lot's of 25MPH turns and lots of switchbacks, and she rode great! I am so proud of her.

I gotta'throw a pic of Fat Albert out too!

Here are a few pics.

Helen is a german/Swedish type tourist trap, but very fun to visit. The have a bike rally in sept/oct time frame and have a hell of a octoberfest! It has tons of little shops to visit and a little creek to ride down in inner tubes, a real family oriented get-a-way. The wife and I have gone up there twice in the last four years on the way to the dragon and back from florida, its a nice stop and good folks, actually met one hotel manager from my hometown of Quincy, Illinois! cut me a deal on a room and we kicked back and drank a few brews sitting at a picnic table next to a babblin' brook....good times

We live near Anvil Block right off 675.

You are not far from where my daughter lives. Her and her husband are both in the Marines and living in Bonaire.
They both ride too. They are a Beemer family. She has an '83 750 triple and he has a '78 650 air head. I could be off a bit on the model years slightly but those are the bikes. I rode her triple to the Dragon ride one year.

It is pretty much a destination ride. You get to go through some nice mountains and really great scenery. It is a tourist town. I would bet most of the people are local Georgian's who live near by. It is a great ride.
