Finally

Well the wife's back was feeling pretty good for a change and our weather today was perfect. 82 f low humidity and a cool breeze off the ocean. She said she wanted to ride ! First time this season. We went from our north shore Long Island home to the south shore and stopped at the Off Key Tiki Bar for a drink and dinner. I pulled some pork out of the pig on a spit, yum. Live calypso band to eat to. We then headed home. Longest ride for her in a few years. About 45 miles. Her back now glaring up but she says it was worth it. God I miss riding with the OL.

Good for getting out. Summers just going by like non existant.

Friend of mind texted me from this place. Do you know it?

Yep. Been there often over the years. Nice place on the wharf. Special VIP bike parking.

I hear ya there FB...Sandy(Flo) hasn't been able to ride the last 2 years and I enjoy going on day trips with her and trying out different places to eat.
I put the tourpak on the King with the big lazy-boy backrest to see if that would help,it did the first year,now it's just a beer pak.I really miss her not being able to come with me,actually cut down on my riding because I don't like leaving her home when I know she'd rather ride too...

Geeze, I clicked on Crabby Jerry's and watched the video, Looks like they cook the lobster with the bands on them. Not supposed to do that!! Gives them a rubbery taste
I think it's only fair you give the lobster a chance to get a bite at you before you take a bite out of it...lol

Glad you got out and had a nice ride.
Know it has to feel good.

I'd like to ride here but I'm still waiting on my Part B for my insurance card .
And the OL to get some insurance. She's changing jobs, so she don't have any yet.

Hadn't seen many folks here riding right now. Were waiting.

Yeah I see what you mean about Crabby Jerry's. I haven't eaten in that place but Claudios and the Clam Bar too. I don't eat seafood, had a bad experience many years ago, shrimp causes my throat to close and breathing to stop. I don't care for fish either but on my recent Maine vacation my wife, son and daughter in law were raving so much about the calamari they were eating I had to try it, it was freaking great!

Glad two two got out...Today was another great day...Took back roads to Warwick, NY...Black Dirt Region...

Back on the late 70's -early 80's used to ride there every now and then. We used to stop on 17a at the Red Apple Rest ( I think that was its name ) it doesn't exist anymore. Neither does Marcus Dairy in Danbury CT which was another good stop on Sunday morning. They were like the Rock House in Ca.

I remember those well...There is a great biker friendly place (Barnsider) in the little town of Sugarloaf about 10 miles from Warwick...It is like a mini Woodstock, NY...Soap shops, candle shops, records, clothes and other strange things...Going back in time...I need to get to Woodstock...Have not been there in a few years...Nice riding up there too...Thinking about going up to Hunter Mountain for the Oktoberfest which is not to from Woodstock...Good food, good people and great beer...

On the way back from watkins glen we took rt 13 to 79 to 206 and onto I-88. That stretch between rt13 to I-88 was a joy to ride. I dug the moment. Loping roads that rose and fell thru lush green valleys and no cars. Upstate NY more then makes up for the urban compact in lower,NY. Small rural communities that if you blink you'd miss them.

I have a bunch of photos from that and once winters comes i'll post up.
