Bike Fixed

John Bennett figured out my bike problem as a failing Dyna
He took it for a spin around our circle when he returned it

CVMG Show




Steve and I went to the vintage bike show in Paris in June
The parking lot is at least as interesting as the show

Tail Buffed

The tail came out pretty nice once I buffed it

Border

We are as good as home

Vermont

Vermont looks very different when it's not dark and raining

Emergency Stop

My speedo cable started chirping and there was no way it was going to make it home so I took it off and lubed it
Just like new

Last Stop at Weirs Beach



Gary had to get some swag so we went down to Weirs Beach again
Not too many people there early Sunday morning

Leaving for Home

Leaving the hotel Sunday morning

Weirs Beach

We parked at Weirs Beach and found this great spot on the water for lunch




More Weirs Beach pics
My bike is a mess after riding through Vermont and New Hampshire in the rain

Laconia

Here we are in the parking lot of the hotel ready to ride to Weirs Beach at the crack of 11:00
This is how we rode: shorts and no helmet
Never done that before

Vermont at Night in the Rain

We made it into Vermont before it started raining again
Gary and I pulled into a gas station for shelter and realized Steve wasn't with us
Our Garmins are not waterproof so we decided to change into our rain gear and sit tight until he showed
I went in to the deli affiliated with the gas station looking for some plastic wrap for the GPS and came out with a green plastic hair net
We were just about to backtrack looking for Steve when he pulled into the gas station
He had stopped at the previous gas station to change into his rain gear
He did wonder why we didn't miss him though
This picture was taken when we stopped to pull out the paper maps after 2 Garmins attempted to run us into an embankment
Once we got the route figured out it really started to rain
The rest of the ride was quite stressful through the hills in the dark in the rain trying to navigate looking through a green hair net on my GPS
We got to the hotel at 12:30 after riding around Laconia for half an hour looking for it

Leaving Lake George


It did stop raining but by then it was starting to get dark
We had to get gas and get on the road
I'm exhausted at this point

Americade !

It felt good to get off the bikes
We walked the strip and checked out everyone elses bikes
We were mosying but we knew we couldn't stay too long since we had a way to go to get to Laconia
Problem: it started raining   argh
Plan: let's grab dinner and hope it stops


Arriving in Lake George

Here we are in Lake George after riding north. We encountered stop and go traffic on the way which really delayed us and wore out my clutch hand
