great ride everyone. It was great seeing so many different types of motorcycles. And great riders, thanks for coming along. Next time we need to go a little further and hit route 33, that is a great road.

Kawasaki 300 Sirref

Ducati Monster - Jaesun

Suzuki sv650 Finesse

and my ghetto blaster

I think I'm the only one who got wet. Damn scattered showers.

Nice pics!

Sirref · August 31st, 2014, 03:28 PM

it rained on me for 50 miles straight, wet would be an understatement...a few exits before I got onto 695 it just started pouring and it stopped right when I got home

great ride though, nothing like 10hrs of riding to make a day great
gotta give it to ya though @scorch you really know a lot of great roads and you rode at a good pace, and you're a good photographer too

I'll start putting together a really good ride starting from towson, shouldn't be too difficult as I know a lot of good roads out here @Finesse after I install a new chain of course

scorch · August 31st, 2014, 03:39 PM

You are welcome. Luckly i didnt get rained at all. Im sure Finesse didnt get rained either.

Good times.

Sirref, put together a route and lets get a good ride going.

A gps is a great tool btw, one of the best things i've ever bought. I dont know that many roads, but the gps knows them all.

Finesse · August 31st, 2014, 04:02 PM

Thanks for the pics! I will bring my camera next time too and then maybe you can be in front of the camera for a change.

@jaesun it makes me happy that you rode in the rain, none of this 'my Ducati can't see a raindrop'!

I'd be happy to go up to Towson and meet you guys for a ride around that area... As always only Sundays and Mondays :\

I plan on investing in a GPS mount, I have a GPS but it only works when plugged in and charging, think the battery's toast...

I like how both Sirref and Finesse have a torn left knee on their jeans

I went for a ride this morning too, and it was so swampy even at 8 am... felt like I was swimming through soup. Was it like that out west, or is just cause I'm wearing track leathers?

Finesse · August 31st, 2014, 06:04 PM

^It was kinda swampy but not bad at all if you're moving. The sun kinda went away most of the time we were riding and I like hot weather so I was pretty comfortable. Join us next time!!

The torn left knee is from praying to all those bikes I fix to please fix themselves...

can't speak for Sirref... haha

M42 · August 31st, 2014, 07:45 PM

Absolutely, I'll try my best. My problem is not having enough time to ride all the way out/through skyline - I have like two and a half hours per day for hooning, max. Maybe we can do a bikes & breakfast meet next month? They hold it out in clifton.

Finesse · August 31st, 2014, 07:57 PM

Clifton MD? Up near Baltimore? MMM, bikes and breakfast, 2 of my favorite things...

2-3 hours is good for me too, 6 is a little much just 'cause I gotta get home to the pup.

M42 · August 31st, 2014, 08:37 PM

Clifton in va, southwest of fairfax. Damn, so many duplicate town names in the dmv area!

It's from lowsiding my 250 a while back, over time it just keeps opening up more though. The right side is torn too

DCMDVA... are these roman numerals?

Finesse · September 1st, 2014, 07:11 AM

Yeh, next time I'll title it 'Anyone in 2100 want to ride?'
