May 10, 2014 Ride
« on: May 10, 2014, 08:27:26 PM »
Longest ride to date at just under 70 miles. Funny, didn't seem that far and took a little over 2 hours. Mostly country roads and found a nice cruising speed at 50-55mph on the speedo (gps is a few mph slower). Had one restroom stop and to stretch the legs. Very little wind today so that was more like what I was expecting when I bought this thing. Man I love this little thing.

Cool!
I had a couple vacation days last week, and nice weather to boot! I put almost 300 miles on her. I need to start getting more pics though. Only remembered the camera one time all week.

I noticed for that shot, you kept it in the parking space. I know there is probably a much better shot there but you'd have to put it on the sidewalk. I've been in that same situation in both public and private property. The barn shots I got were definitely private property but there was no house near by so I went for it. Wondering how risky you guys who get photos get when going "off the road" to get a good picture.

Yeah, I thought about moving up on the walk. There's an awesome spot right next to the rail that overlooks the river.
With my luck, a cop would come through right then and ticket me for it. I may still risk it at some point.  8)

I know all about the apprehension of trying to a good picture. I have ridden around outside of the parking lot of Disneyland, trying to find the hole in the security to get the shot.
