For the Record...10 days in Concord

Great time on the Vulcan, as seen here. As I hoped, got a lot of work done on it; front brakes, new antifreeze, oil change, air filter cleaned, gear oil changed, brake fluid (front and rear) changed, cables lubed, clutch fluid changed, and new brake pads. Got in a total of 303 miles of riding over the very hot, humid and thunderstorm ridden period. Considering the weather, that was not bad. Enjoyed the ride to Albemarle, NC, also the ride with Phil to the Carolinas Aviation Museum (and an interesting ride though Charlotte, NC). Much of that is documented in previous posts.
I had hoped and planned to get a ride in on the fantastic Blue Ridge Parkway. Due to weather (storms fired up there daily around noon) did not make it, but the mountains have been there for millions of years and will wait for my return ride in the near future. Had a great time with the Charlotte Vulcan Riders; hope to get a ride in with them soon, and hope their national rally is a great success again this year. Just a fantastic time at home, and not only the riding. It was a remarkable trip!
