Most memorable bike trip: I had been riding for about 3 months and a couple of friends of mine wanted to ride to Lake George via the Mohawk Trail on Rt. 2. This would be my first real "bike trip" and I was very excited about the ride. When we left our houses it was raining, but that was OK because the weathermen said the skies would clear, and it's not like they're ever wrong. Right? Well, it rained the entire way to Lake George. The next week I bought a quality rain suit.

Most memorable bike trip: When I used to live in Phoenix, AZ, I took a trip up to Las Vegas.

I highly recommend a desert run to anyone; one tip- make sure your tires are in perfect condition; the weather and the heat wore mine down to cords!!!

Favorite place to ride: Up through Crawford Notch, Rt. 302 in the White Mountains. Good places to stop for coffee.

Most memorable bike trip: It's a toss up between the Skyline Parkway to Blue Ridge Parkway ending with the Tail of the Dragon and home or Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia crossing the Bay of Fundy on the "Cat." Both were total motorcycle trips.
Riding since: Started in 1962, totally against my parent's will. After huge confrontations the summer ended with mother and father taking my bike (see below) and riding across town to see their friends on it!
First motorcycle: Yamaha YDT1 2 stroke 250cc. $550. Brand new!
