The Soup Du'Jour

This place is legit! The sign is even buzzing, built in MA in 1950 then dragged to a small town outside of Burlington, VT.

Could not ask for a better day, light jacket and full face helmets and we are very comfortable.

98 miles of backroads to Montreal.

Strictly Backroads

To beat the heat (80 degrees) we headed south east to Hampton beach

Riding north on Rt 1 to Portsmouth

Start of the New England riding season (For everyone else)

Scythe of Time has been riding all winter long, it was time to have a
group ride where more then the nine members showed up. The often
imitated never duplicated SOT 100 was the perfect end of May(20th)
ride. We started in Dover at Grease Monkey Motorcycles
http://greasemonkeymotorcycles.com/
then headed to the Dover elks for the Mountain Man swap meet,
proceded to the Lee traffic circle then twisty back roads to Goody
Coles.

It doesn't have two wheels but...

Back to my other life for two weeks. It's not a bad way to pay for my motorcycle addiction. I am in the works of making a Workboat blog for all my boat pictures and adventures. If these two weeks go by fast, I'll be back on the pavement ASAP!

All's Well That Ends Well

For a trip that I planned last minute, I think it turned out well. At
just under 2,000 miles and three days is not a typical trip for me. It
was a blast not having a schedule and having the privilege of waiting
for a gap in the weather. I look forward to the next long trip. A big
decision, I am going to test ride a few other bikes that will replace
the Tiger. The seating position is just not what fits me. When ten
plus hours on my Ural or Royal Enfield is more comfortable then eight
on the Tiger there is a problem. Top contenders for a replacement are
the Triumph Thunderbird, Rocket III, and the Polaris Victory. I love
the power the Tiger has so 90-100 hp is a min, with a more relaxed
seating stance.

It's a Christmas Miracle

No traffic through NYC! While approaching the George Washington Bridge
(NJ-NY) there is a critical decision take the Merritt through
Connecticut or I-95? both can have traffic and the Merritt is only two
lanes so an accident will shut it down. seeing the cars backing up on
the North side of the bridge i quickly took the first exit and headed
up the Hudson river towards CT-15 (Merritt).
I chose wisely... No traffic and an average speed of 90-100 mph made
it the best ride of the trip! Twisty roads built during the depression
to keep the skilled stone masons employed. The low stone bridge arches
keep tall trucks off the road leaving room for fast cars and bikes.
Merritt is a blast at even 80, not quite peg-dragging turns though
still images of the Isle of Man races in the UK flash through your
head.
