Samantha Graduated



Samantha graduated high school so there was a shin dig up in fair lawn that require my presence. I decided to make a little trip out of this opportunity and took the street bike my beloved ZRX1200 up north. My route was simple, to head west cross the Delaware river by Washington’s crossing then up route 32 which follows the Delaware river. Cross back into NJ by Easton PA / Philipsburg NJ then pick up 519 north till it runs into 521. Then I was just too mossy along taking back roads west then south until I ran into 23. From there I took 513 up to 511 till I hit a road named skyline rd. That ran into 208 then down to Fairlawn. I did about 120 miles in 6.5 hours of taking it easy snapping pictures and stopping for an amazing breakfast sandwich. Then it was just chilling out by the pool drinking a couple and staying up way to late.


Sunday morning was a commute ride down the parkway home and nothing to write home about. In fact it was miserable and next time I think I’ll not stay up so late and make it a epic ride home as well. All the pictures here

Canoeing and Motorcycle training



This was really a fun weekend. First was Jessica's dance recital. I always enjoy watching her perform. I was having camera issues and instead of missing her dance while trying to refigure the camera I said, "the hell with it" and just enjoyed the dance. Then to celebrate we went to Seaside and visited Jessica's friends Kellyann and Nichole. I really had a nice day. Sunday was Fathers day. I woke up and took my doggies for a walk in the woods.Then me and Dan decided to go Canoeing. We put our canoe in where we usually take it out ( Western Blvd.) and decided to see if we could go all the way to the bay. It was quite easily done but next time we'll take a electric motor with us and try to make it to the bay then back up the Toms River.
   Monday I played hookie and Dan and I went down to Melville so he could take his motorcycle lessons from Rick Lafferty's School. That was really cool and Fun. Dan learned a lot as well as myself. We'll see if this produces and better results in our harescramble races next month.

Busy Lately

Man, I got back from my Smokey Mountain Man vacation and have not had time to write about anything. First things first the trip was a success we (Me and Tony)broke down in Virginia at 1am. Then proceeded to drink until morning light at which time we pulled the alternator out. Unloaded one of the bikes ran to NAPA bought a new one and was back on the road by 7:30 am. While down there we road all the road we enjoy Cherohala Skyway, The dragon.  I think one of the best trips was RT28 all the way into Georgia. We then spent the night partying in some town I have to remember the name. Great trip. The first weekend home a pipe burst in the bathroom flooding the house FUN at it’s finest.Here's the pictures from the Smokey's trip.


The following weekend we had a great ride and a great little party for Dans Birthday. There I'm caught up
