After the big mountain ride on my last trip (see previous posts) to Blowing Rock, NC this trip home rode a bit less distance (to say the least) sticking close to Concord, NC. Wanted to see how the bike rode after almost falling over at the end of the last ride, but its fine.....just a bit of a cosmetic thing, but no real damage. Took a November 8 ride to Concord Regional Airport which was fun; like to check out the airplanes, and a ride down some local backroads in a 90 minute ride. It was a fantastic day, with sunny cloudless skies, and temperature close to 70 degrees. Not a long ride, but sure felt great to be "back in the saddle again" after a long two week pause.
On Monday November 9, I went to Speedway Harley-Davidson which is where I took these two photos to the left. Those are a couple of new 2010 Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I wanted to go by RideNow to see some of the new Japanese/Victory bikes they sell but they are on "fall hours" (closed on Sunday and Monday) so that will have to wait for one of my future rides. Monday was also a very good day, but did cloud up quite a bit due to an approaching tropical storm (which I am told really hammered Concord rain wise on Tuesday morning). I just missed that on my drive back to Richmond today in the car. It was great to see my family, and got in a longer ride on Monday; so some good motorcycling on this visit. I always say it is better to get a short ride in than none at all; in my case, had two good ones. Looking forward to the next visit and the next rides in the Carolinas.
