My road

[the Ferret]

When tar snakes are fresh, they can be quite disconcerting, that's for sure. These are 2 years old, so they are not slippery when it's dry, but it's amazing to me that the bike transmits enough tactile sensation , that you can feel them as they roll under the tires, I mean they can't be 1/16 th of an inch high.

Sounds like a good one ES

Here are a couple of "my road" I took on my way back from a ride this afternoon

:rofl:

Some of us old guys just have a diminished skill set, and an appreciation for expecting the unexpected.

With how much riding you do, "diminished skill set" seems unlikely and "expecting the unexpected" = How to Survive on a Motorcycle 101

Wise you are, Master Ferret!

Plus he's taking pictures with one hand...trust me as a student of the Ferret School of Mobile Photography, it's hard to maintain speed in a curve and snap off 5 pics at the same time.

Right ho. Fess up. How many pupils of the Ferret School of Mobile Photograpy are there? ES. Me. How many others?

By the way, I find it's impossible in anything other than lightweight gloves. I simply cannot turn my camera on with heavy gloves on. I need a widget to put on one finger so it can sneak into the hole.

I like the look of your road Ferret.

Not having the Talent of Mr. Ferret i have put together with the aid of Google Earth My Road:

This 4 mile stretch of road is know as US RT22 which runs from the Kensico Dam (which is 2 miles from my home) to Armonk NY. One of the favorite runs for sport bikes from around the area, very fast & fun Run.

Run starts here:
Kensico Dam


To the circle:

Then up the shoot to 22N

North bound sweeper:

South bound run is much better. Starts off with a 1/4 mile straight

Into a switch back

Then what a call sling shot 1/4 mile uphill rise speeds can reach (fast LOL)

Out of sling shot down hill crossing rye lake bridge

Hope the light is green

Through 2 switch backs

Into the last and final very fast sweeper (a favorite)

Down the chute (Choice 1 wheel up or two)

[url=http://s1034.photobucket.com/user/cipolla57/media/backtocircle_zps80738ac9.jpg.html]


Looking up from the bottom and back down to the circle where you can head right back up the chute

Its a great run that is very poplar for bikers, lucky to have it so close to home.

Neat post, CIP. Looks like a good road too.

I don't really have 'a road', but if I need reminding what fun it is to own a motorcycle or just want to turn a corner or two, I take this 14 km run along a beautiful country road.

 

[emptysea]

Nice roads, Cormanus and CIP.
