An all day ride through Skyline Drive & Shenendoah National Park. We started out through Warrenton and hit Thornton's Gap. We rode down for a while and stopped for some lunch at Skyland Dining Hall and then rode to Swift Run Gap. A run through backroads to Orange and back to the 'Burg.
A great day of riding.

150 miles just for fun
A clear blue sky and cool temps was the makings of a perfect day. Filled the tank and took off down the road. After passing through Ladysmith I pulled over for some more gas and a soda and after a break headed dowm a long twisty road. I ended up near New Post and cruised through town and back home. 150 miles and 4 hours later.

I Finished the Paint
Almost 2 weeks and several long days and the new paint theme is done. It's not perfect but for doing all the work myself I am very happy with the results. I can't wait to ride it.

New Paint Theme
It took me a few days to take off the tank & fenders. I finally had time to shoot the HOK Kameleon base coat & flames.
I started with a flat black base coat. Then shot the Red to Blue Kameleon. a coat of clear the wet sand with 2000. Tape off the flames and Kameleon Blue to Red.
Three coats of clear to finish it off.

A wrong turn makes the day.
Watching the weather updates it was supposed to rain all day, but this morning it's sunnt & warm. The bike is out and warming up and as I head out I decide to try to find my sister's place.
I start out alright but one wrong turn put me on a great winding country back road with little traffic and plenty of tree covered miles. It was a warm day but going about 35 feels like the AC set to the perfect temp. Then heading in to a covered road with tall trees on both sides the temp drops and a cool rush of air hits. It couldn't be better.
I figure I'm not going to find my sister's so I just keep riding see where I end up.
I started the ride with a full tank and came out to a spot I recognized, 75 miles and 3 hours later about 20 miles outside of town. Cruised down to one of my favorite stops and had a great lunch.
The day couldn't have been better got lost without really being lost, had a great ride and a better lunch.
