Glad you got out and about, all those noted questions at first are really cool, made me feel like a big shot. But it gets a little tiring. Picked up my Mulberry 5/19 6,000 miles to date. If you are married or have a girl friend get used to some sarcasm. Oh you are polishing your new girlfriend. I whish you paid that much attention to me. Oh going out again. On a clear sunny day "you should not go out its going to rain.
Also get used to checking the local weather radar to see if you can squeeze in a ride b4 the next down poor.
Have lots of fun, I know you will.
RIDE SAFE. Just today almost got another SUV enema, large Chevy 10 feet behind me going down rt 4 from Burlington. Some times I wish I had the ba()s as some rowdy bikers I Know "buy a moderate size ball peen hammer its a great tool if brought out when SUV, young girls smoking, talking on cell and drinking coffee, are too close. It's a good mirror adjuster."
Lots of really cool places to ride in NW, CT and Eastern NY. Rt 34 from Derby to Danbury, Rt 179 from Canton to the Mass line then Mass 57 either east or west. Rt 22 in NY is really good, I just wish I had the time to take it to Burlington VT. Rt 7 from New Milford north into Mass but it kind of sucks in Pittsfield MA, lostS of in city driving. Oh one thing to get used to with all the rain and foliage growth many rt and STOP signs are hidden by the foliage. Well enough blabber from me.
RIDE HARD, RIDE SAFE.
