Short ride to Knights Ferry, CA

xorbe · October 26th, 2013, 10:38 PM

Beautiful day today. I've only been practicing cruising around town expanding my ride radius, and country back roads to visit family about 40 mi away so far, no freeway. But today Dad dragged me out to Knights Ferry for lunch, about 55 mi round trip. Dad's '83 cb900 got exactly half my 250's mpg, hehheh. But damn he rockets forward from stops like a mad man! Him and his fancy windshield, no bugs on his helmet.

Cool that you ride with your dad. I need to take a ride with mine soon.

Heh, I'm almost 40 and him 65, so I need to ask if the first ride together lived up to his expectations after all these years, hahahaha.
