Ride to New Harmony, IN on July 6
« on: July 08, 2011, 03:21:42 AM »
Here's a link to some photos I took Wednesday. It was my longest ride yet on my 2009 Grand Vista 250, about 75 miles round trip. New Harmony is a very pretty historic town on the Wabash River in Indiana and was founded in 1814. Many of the buildings have been recreated or restored and it's a great place to walk or ride your scooter around.

Nice photo essay. I'd like to see more of these from everyone -- and I promise to contribute one or two by the end of riding season, as well.

Nice photos, you must have used a good camera, very crisp and clear shots.

Looks like it was a nice day for a ride.

Used a Nikon D70 DSLR with various lenses. It's a pretty good camera but certainly not one to put in yourn pocket.

Nice photos!
I recently bought a Canon 60D. Love the photos these cameras take over the pocket types.
Enjoy your bike :)

My wife and I just took my Xciting 250Ri to New Harmony on Columbus day.  Great day for a ride here in Southern Indiana.   Nice easy country highways, little traffic.   One of my favorite rides, and they have some nice antique stores.  Just have to watch what you buy.  Post cards are better than furniture on a kymco.

It's a beautiful town to visit. Rode there Saturday with a couple of motorcycle friends and had lunch at a diner. Where are you located? We've started a motorcycle/scooter club in the Evansville area.

Petersburg, hence Petertucky.  I don't ride real far, but New Harmony is a great ride.  I would love to go to Madison someday, but more than an hour on that seat, wow.

Our group will be making regular rides next year. I'll post them here and maybe you can join us if we head to your area.
