Spring is Coming

Well Spring is almost on us I bought a new Toy hauler this Winter getting ready to retire in June. Will be heading to Sturgis for the first time this year can't wait. Been a long hard Winter up here in the Northeast really looking forward to some warm weather.

Summer 2014

Well a new bike season is upon us and hopefully the weather is going to cooperate. Multiple trips planned first one to Alexandria Bay in the Thousand Islands for bike week. Again going to Erie for the Roar On The Shore rally in July last year there were over 100,000 bikes. Also going back to the Peach Music Festival in August for 4 days it will be one of the last shows ever for the Allman Brothers Band. Expect to get a lot of riding in this season probably will go out of state at least 4 times on small weekend trips. Well everyone ride safe and have a good Summer!!!

End of a Great Summer Season

Well it was a great Summer packed a lot into our short season up here in the North East. I bought a new bike got a 2012 Victory KingPin and I love it. went out of state a couple of times even got to go to the Peach Music Festival featuring the Allman Brothers Band. Was able to put 10,000 miles on the bikes hoping for more next year. Planning a trip to Sturgis for 2015 with friends should be a good time.

New Season is upon us

Well the riding season is in full swing now. I just got back from Alex Bay lots of good riding up there really enjoyed my self. New to the bike this year are the flame theme mirrors looking into adding floorboards next. Less than 4 weeks to Erie's Roar On The Shore!!!

End of an ERA

Well today I sold the Silverwing scooter it's the first time in many many years that I have not owned a scooter of some kind. I just wasn't riding it enough to justify the expense of having 2 bikes. It went to a good home I've know the new owner since he was born and it's his first bike. He's getting a great bike I ended up putting 46,000 miles on it and it's in great shape. Good luck Grant ride safe my friend..

Spring 2012

Well it's a new season looking forward to it and lots of riding. Have a couple of trips scheduled hopefully the weather will cooperate. Ride Safe everyone!!!

Roar On The Shore

Just got back from Erie Pa. I attended Roar On The Shore around 50,000 motorcycles it was a great time. We went up there with about 25 people for me it was the second year there!! A lot of good riding including a trip to Ohio to a place called Geneva on the Lake. Highly recommend going to Erie if you have never been there for this event!!

2011 New Season if it stops raining

Well were off to a slow start here in New York record rain in April looking like the same in May!! But time is on our side we'll get some good weather sooner or later. Was hoping to ride this weekend to Big Flats down near Corning to see ZZTOP and Skynard together. Looks like we'll be taking the car hopefully it will be better for Memorial Day weekend. Well good riding and ride safe everyone it's new year.

2010 Season

Was a great year to ride, got out of state a couple of times including the Roar On The Shore in Erie PA that was a good time 50,000 bikes. Hope everyone had a good year and Happy New Year for 2011 keep riding.

It's SPRING

Well Spring is finally here and it's great to be riding again!! The scooter goes in the shop next week to have some scratches repaired so I'm sure the weather will be great while it's in there. Looking forward to long rides coming up in the coming months. Ride Safe everyone!!

Winter!!!

Well it's January almost February this is working out to be one long Winter!! I really miss riding at this point and can't wait for Spring. My son is still riding down in Charlotte I think he's on to something moving down there. Looking forward to seeing the group I ride with this weekend at a after Christmas holiday party. Happy New Years to all!! Keep on Riding and Ride Safe!!

Great Season

Well it was a great time this Summer it's Nov. 14th and I'm still riding!!! Just put my 3rd back tire on the bike this week lots of miles. The Silverwing ran great I hope we can do more riding into December but you never know in the northeast.

Scooter Updates

So thanks to a buddy of mine Keith the Silverwing now has a backrest and a new much larger windshield. (Givi) I'll put up a new picture soon. We're getting a bit of nice late Summer weather this week I hope to do a lot of riding.

Summer Update

WOW can't believe Summer is flying by so fast it's been to long since I last posted anything. Been very busy like most Summers, doing lots of riding. Been blessed to meet many great people this Summer that like to ride and have a good time. Been to lots of good shows I can't believe it's the middle of August already. Got to cut this short some intense lighting happening out side!! Se ya next time..

Almost Summer

Been a while since I posted now it's almost summer lots going on. My son Mike just visited for a week it was great to see him and he brought good weather with him that week. I'm still hoping to ride back to Charlotte in late July or early August to see him. My other son Matt is playing out with his band every other week or so. It's great to see the kids doing what they enjoy. I've been meeting lots of nice people through the Rochester Motorcycle Meetup Group been on 4 meetup's so far. Going to a few good concerts the next couple of weeks Lynyrd Skynyrd is this Saturday and Boston in August. Going to be doing lots of riding everyone ride safe out there!!

Spring is Here

Well Spring has arrived in upstate New York I've been able to ride a lot to this point. Still not thrilled by the racing thing my son is doing in North Carolina. He had a crash recently in a race and thank God is doing ok no broken bones. Seeing lots of bikes out more scooters than I've ever seen. Honda has a new automatic transmission motorcycle out the dn01 not available in the US yet. Still waiting for Harley Davidson to come out with one can't understand why they are justing handing all that business to Honda and Suzuki. The American companies need to wake up and get into that market one that's actually growing.

New video on the blog from you tube

Well I put a new video of my youngest son playing his guitar on the blog tonight. I grew up enjoying listening to guitar solo's so this is very cool for me. He just gets better and better and it's a lot of fun to watch him. His band will be coming out with a CD soon, of course it's not my generations type of music but kids his age are into it.

Racing in North Carolina

Well the newest development in North Carolina is my son is drag racing his new Honda CBR. As a parent I'd like to see him doing something a bit safer but he's almost 22 and that's not my call anymore. I guess it's another thing to see when I go back the Charlotte this summer.

Visit in July

My son says his friends and himself are going to ride their sport bikes up to New York in July. I think he better start working out, I can't imagine how sore his back will be having to lean forward like that for 750 miles on a sport bike (Honda CBR) I may meet them some where in PA with a buddy of mine he rides a Yamaha. Great to see so many people riding it doesn't matter what just hit the road and enjoy!!

Getting Better

I've added several pictures and some albums at the bottom of the page let me know what you think. This is a great learning experience please comment!!
