I spent the entire day - alone - on the bike today. That's like.. monumental. It has been ages since i've had the entire day to myself to ride, without any time constraints, worry or company. Just me, the triple and 400 miles of where ever the road decided to take us. It was stupendous.
I did a bit of exploring, which is always good. Just rollin' along aimlessly.
As the day went on, i began to feel a bit lonely, though. As i stopped in different places, snapping shots of the bike, it dawned on me that as i've gotten older and less and less attractive with age, the bike has become my stand in. Now that my youth has slipped by so stealthily, she is all thats left worth looking at. Its a sad realization that as a woman, so much value is placed upon your looks. When they go... man... well, you know.
Wind-burned and ugly, i had a beautiful day nonetheless.

You know? You really do meet the nicest people sport-touring. Over the years I have met some very fine people out riding. Overall though, I must say that the sport touring set has been the most welcoming group of people, hands down.
Natural Bridge Inn, Va. with another lovely gentleman, Jim. It was a pleasure meeting you and of course, thanks for the pic!

Me & my nearly bald tire taking a break on West Virginia 219. This trip was it's last hurrah.
I'm sitting here looking at this picture and recalling standing there on the side of the road after a few hours of excellent riding with my mates. We'd just passed a horse with her foal not 100 yards back at a farm close to the road. Behind me a new begining. Ahead, a blind corner with a road unseen. Such is life.
