Ride With Tank

Yesterday I took a ride to Mantua HD for the pig roast.  After that I took a ride into Cleveland and along Lake Erie.  Click here for the pictures and the story.

I received my Deals Gap shirt in the mail, so I am pretty happy now.  I have ordered a Deals Gap license plate – “129 DG”, but I have not received it yet.  Some people thing I am going a little overboard with the Deals Gap thing, but I don’t think it has gone too far.  Yet……..

Wow, I cannot believe it is October.  The nights are getting pretty cold.  Jim, Mark, and I returned from our Deals Gap ride last Sunday.  It was an excellent ride.  I don’t think you could have a bad ride when Deals Gap is your destination, but this really was an excellent ride.  The people at the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort are really great.  Every single person there is just so friendly and helpful it is crazy.  Mark is hooked.  When we were on our way down I asked him where he was going to put the Deals Gap stickers on his bike and he looked at me like I was crazy.  He said, “Are you crazy???  This is a brand new bike!!”.  Two days later he was coming out of the store with stickers and looking at his bike trying to decide where to put them.  There is no finer place to go on a motorcycle, and there is no finer place to stay than the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort.  It took me a long time to update the site, but here are pictures from our second trip this year to Deals Gap.  Killboy.com took a lot of great pictures of us on Friday.

It has been a while since I updated.  A few weeks ago I took Rt. 30 into the Pittsburg Airport and managed to get this really cool picture.  We went to the motorcross races at the Ohio International Raceway in Ravenna and the pictures are here.  Wednesday we are leaving for Deals Gap, so there should be many new pictures from the latest ride next week.  Don’t forget to check killboy.com and they others for pictures of us!  In the links section you can find all of the photographers I know of.  We will be coming home on Sunday, hopefully earlier than last time!

Ok people, it is time to panic.  Summer is almost over.  Don’t kid yourself – if you keep putting off that ride you have been planning you are going to have to wait until spring.  The snow is headed our way again. 

I have not updated in a while.  I went to the Fred Perry poker run, the GWRRA Dairy Queen adventure ride, and I took a little solo trip into Morgantown, WV.  I’ll be headed back to Deals Gap again in a couple of weeks because it is the Best Place in the World.  The big Harley night in Warren is also coming up and I think I will probably attend that event.

I found a couple of pictures on the internet that people took of us when we were riding Deals Gap.  One guy, Bill Boyd, took our pictures as we were heading down Deals Gap all loaded up with the camping gear.  Killboy.com took a couple of pictures while Jim and I were talking to the guy on the Vstrom on the Dragon.  I wish I could remember that guys name.  Maybe he will check the web site and send me an email!
