That's a beautiful spot but I just can't place it. Catskills? Where were you?

Best,
Peter

After letting it idle for awhile, I took my old girl out too..............go t about 2 blocks from the driveway and the fricken original radiator hose sprung a leak on my `89 Dodge 3/4T PU truck !  What a POS !  :evil:  Thank goodness I was able to get back home before it overheated.   Finally gonna have to replace that hose now.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  :bow:

NICE!  Had my '71 Ambo out and about today too.  Treated it to a new set of cigar mufflers with the big outlet.  Ditched the peashooters that were strangling the engine.  Runs like a different bike, and had a nice deep growl.

Which cigars did you use, Cam?

Beautiful bike and pictures!  I take that same route through the Seven Lakes, to the Palisades Parkway, and across the GW Bridge, when I ride to NYC.

Riding across Ashokan Reservoir would be so dark and mysterious too.

  I must be nice to ride those lakeside roads without the clouds of gnats this time of year.
