What happened to your rear turn signals?  Nice bike; those roads look relaxing!

Out for a quick loop, still taking it easy on the fresh top end rebuild. Pulled over to do a check, as I'm still in the first 100 miles since the restore.

Had to remove them to try out the new rack. Will be putting them back on although not technically required for Mass inspections as its a `72 bike.

What a great time I had over the past 5 days, this past Thursday I rode up to Waynesboro, Virginia with 10 other motorcycle fanatics for our annual Hooligan Run where we ride the entire Blue Ridge Parkway to Cherokee, NC. The Parkway is an amazing national treasure offering stunning views of endless mountain ranges as it snakes through Virginia and North Carolina, and includes Mt. Mitchell which is the highest point east of the Mississippi, you need to experience the Parkway in person, photos can't capture its beauty. We camped along the way at some wonderful motorcycle camp grounds and met riders from all over the country enjoying the thrill of being on two wheels. My 44 year old Pandora ran like a fine Swiss watch and she was the second oldest bike on the parkway after a cool 71 BMW we saw. The temperature s went from blazing hot to freezing our butts off as we climbed up to the summit of Mt. Mitchell, 61degrees, brrrrrrr! it's true you do meet the nicest people on a Honda:)!

Great pic mihai.i, but I'm fcuked if I'd camp in the Romanian forest, that joint's full of Vampires! ;D 
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

A beautiful Sunday morning, Storm King Parkway, Cornwall, NY. Overlooking the Hudson River near West Point.

That is a great ride, I have done it many times. It is probably an hour from my home.

Ha ha, thanks mate, but I'm relying on reincarnation to keep my riding motorcycles for the rest of eternity, I just hope I keep being reborn a man! ;D

I am about the same distance away. Lots of great rides around the Hudson Valley and northwestern Connecticut.

As you've pointed out many times, there are always the 500/550s if you come back as a girl.
