Default I'm Back!

Just got back from New Hampshire last week from cuising the Cane to the top of Mount Washington. If your interested here are some pictures. She worked great the whole trip and I would consider going even further next time. Total trip was about 2,700KM not including the CAT ferry (travels 100km per/hour)

Yeah, had an awesome time. Riding around NH without a helmet was truely alot of fun....until it started raining!! I know have a square, flat spot on my tire in the middle from all the highway riding though. And bad news...I dropped her on the top of the mountain. It was sooooo steep when I stopped at a parking lot and down she went. Of course I broke the banana piece on the left and scuffed up the crankcase cover a bit. Other than my pride, everthing is okay. Well over 60,000 bikes in Laconia that week. Cops everywhere!! Only seen one other Hurricane though, everyone in the States it seems rides Harley's

I wish I could have gone. The driving rain we have been getting is getting old. We had four funnel clouds two days ago. I was not worth it to drive in these conditions for 12.5 hours. I have made the trip to Mt. Washington every year but this one. I am glad to see that you had some good weather up top. That Mt. can be tricky. It is amazing how the HD dealerships can claim that there is a shortage of HD's when you look at all the bikes in NH. Sorry to hear that you dropped the bike. Two years ago I saw a guy with a HD take out his lower case on a rock in the parking lot on the Mt. He was so mad that he tossed the bike to the ground. All the oil was gushing out of it. I did feel sorry for him.

I'm hopefully going to Ottawa in August as a freind of mine asked me to come down to do some sailing. He lives in Greely, I'm not sure if that is handy to you or not.

yourself here;
