I remember having a blast though riding the toll roads, racing from toll booth to toll booth. I'm a little odd in that respect.<BR/><BR/>I don't put the bike away in the winter. Occasionally I'll steal away into the back roads on the occasional good day, just to satisfy my cravings. I've been caught in the snow on more than one occasion doing this though, like I said, I am a little odd.<BR/><BR/>E.T.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081927514870722367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-33737490546253183662008-09-12T08:57:00.000-05:002008-09-12T08:57:00.000-05:00Dear Sharon:Trying to be more like you today, I wr...Dear Sharon:<BR/><BR/>Trying to be more like you today, I wrote a piece about a friend's ride. It can be very refreshing to put yourself in another rider's place from time to time. <BR/><BR/>This is the individual I mentioned to you before, my first friend in the Adirondacks. I tried to write a simple, straightforward story about a man and a motorcycle. <BR/><BR/>I don't know if I succeeded.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>Jack<BR/>Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-31682494612179159122008-09-11T21:57:00.000-05:002008-09-11T21:57:00.000-05:00Hey buddy Jack,Good to hear that you'll be getting...Hey buddy Jack,<BR/><BR/>Good to hear that you'll be getting out this weekend! So you've been riding for a long, long time? Consistently? Or, have there been breaks in there?<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the eyes...mine seem to be changing and turning against me. Still, my night vision remains surprisingly strong--it's the bleary-eyed blindness I'm getting from staring at a computer screen all day that will be my ruin! <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your ride report!Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-31210586240520234302008-09-11T19:28:00.000-05:002008-09-11T19:28:00.000-05:00Dear Sharon:I like the picture of the fog shroudin...Dear Sharon:<BR/><BR/>I like the picture of the fog shrouding the rest area. When I was a kid, I used to love riding my Kawasaki in the fog. I had 21-year-old eyes then. I don't mind it during the daylight now, though it is not my favorite. I wouldn't attempt it at night.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to ride this weekend at some point. I felt pretty good today and I want t get the bike out. Maybe I'll find some company. <BR/><BR/>Your ride reports are always interesting and cerebral. I might try to write something serious soon. <BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>Jack<BR/>Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-31391295036870686332008-09-08T15:36:00.000-05:002008-09-08T15:36:00.000-05:00Thanks, Kano.A night commute--that must yield an i...Thanks, Kano.<BR/><BR/>A night commute--that must yield an interesting perspective on riding.

I commute to work at night and there are 3 bone jarring potholes along my route that I skillfully miss now that I've hit them about a dozen times. I'm sure that other more unfamiliar riders get plenty of wake up calls!Kanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061130052392660661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-52331642157479331872008-09-08T12:42:00.000-05:002008-09-08T12:42:00.000-05:00Ride to Cincinnati.
