Stop whining and ride
« on: August 23, 2019, 07:30:58 PM »
Instead of complaining about Guzzi resale I decided to go for a ride in the White Mountains yesterday.  We rode about 350 miles and it was a beautiful day.  The Kancamangus traffic was really light, Bear Notch was empty and we didn’t see a single car or bike on Hurricane Mountain Road.  We did Hurricane a couple times and I could hear my passenger whooping and squealing in her helmet, enjoying the...ahem...elevat ed pace.  If you’ve ever ridden in the White Mountains but not hit Hurricane you missed out.

Boy, put out that cigarette!   You wanna get cancer?   :thewife:

Be that as it may, sounds like a good day, and fewer reasons to get rid of the bike for money.    Money can't take you up that mountain together ....  :thumb:
