What did you do on your bike on the 4th of July?

#1 Unread post by flw »

For U.S riders or anyone wanting to join in.

So did the bike stay at home or hit the open road or some serious twisties?

If it left the garage, where did you travel to and did you see or do anything interesting?

I gave Valarie a good rubdown today. Wish I could have taken her out, I'd have been all over the place today.

Still have to wait another week and a half before I can legally ride her.

Well Hubby kids and I tried to go for a nice ride, but it started to rain about 16 miles from home. We had to turn around and come back home. The storm followed us home. Just after we arrived the heavens opened up. Thank goodness it held off till we got home. That was my first rainy trip.

Road her to bible study last night.

But, it's been raining for so much down here in southeast Texas, she sat in the garage all day today. Only ridden twice in the last week and a half. =/

:D

6:30 start on my first trip from Phoenix to Yarnell to Prescott. The first part of the trip (Phoenix to Wickenburg on Hwy 60) was just straight. Turn onto 89 and found some twisties for a few miles before Yarnell, then flat'n'straight again for a while. Maybe 25 miles out of Prescott the road turned righteous, with some seriously proper "mountain curves". It being my first time through, I took it easy to learn the road but next time... :twisted:

South out of Prescott on 69 (mistake - it looked curvy on the map), then on 17. Oh well. Now I know better! Got home about 11:30; all in all - a very nice day!
