Sorry I couldn't make the ride today guys. Hope you enjoyed my garage though!

Yeah - was a little steamy! WHEW!

Met with 12sdrag on his 01 B12 and friend on a Vulcan, Gary on his B12, tomacGTi on a nicely modded B4 and friend on a Sportster for the much ballyhooed tour of Chester County PA. Well, I was having mechanical difficulties (when am I not??) before I even got there. Seems when it's warm outside, my right coil takes a little vacation. It ran well enough for a while and we were able to hit a couple of my favorite roads. Then it started acting up again. Luckily, I was able to limp my new Bandit 200

to Cdyer's house. He wasn't able to make the ride but I knew he had a coil there. Thanks, Chris!!! So, between the fairly frequent stops to rehydrate and cool my bike, a half-hour killed while I swapped a coil, we didn't get as much riding in as I'd hoped. Still, we hit a bunch of my favorite roads.

It was great meeting some new folks. It was a real nice group. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to ride together again. I still have to show you the southern half of the loop I had planned. Oodles of parking lot pics to follow!

And here we are at the beautiful Turkey Hill (a convenience store chain in the Lancaster, PA area). Just for you, Paul:

We spent much of the day following the Brandywine Creek up and down. We made one stop on a nice canopied section of Rt 282. 282 is a very scenic road but not ideal for ripping on a bike. Lots of tarstrips, busted up pavement and blind turns. Pictured is Junior, Randy and Gary.

Another...

Oh - I almost forgot the site of the day - a guy (mid-50s maybe) on a green, 2G B12N in shorts and flipflops - nothing else. I couldn't get the camera out quick enough!

I knew you had to have some of them over there.
