Went out last Sunday to the VA Breakfast meet and then for a nice 200 mile ride on my brand new motor, I Due mean Brand New. She had 40 miles on her when I left Home that morning and now is half way thru the break-in period.
Wow! I’d forgotten just how sweet a 1000 airhead can pull, no slough that’s fer sure! Its SO nice to be able crack the throttle and feel her really get up and go!
Bill and I wound up doing the 675/678 route for some leaf peepping enjoy some less crowded roadways (the Skyline Drive entrance was backed up to 211 going over the blue ridge and 211 was surprising clear of debris of the rains. Coming home even some sports bikes type had trouble keeping up with me thru a few turns Ha Ha!
So some pics…
when we stopped to take the pics above, Bill asked me to take a pic of his Odo, he was sitting right on 60000, perfect timing!
its a shame they stopped cutting back the undergrouth at the overlook on 675 really blocks a lot of the view of the valley, still nice though and lots of color down below..
Bill ran into an old friend at the over look and there's my new motor in the pic, looks oddly like my old one till you look real close at the motor....
And a pano taken on 675 midway along the valley section....
