Test Ride (August 8, 2013

 Went out for a ride on Thursday August 8 to check the leak repair on the Vulcan, and this time can report it was a success. Again, kudos to Ultimate Cycle for the great service and especially not charging me for the second repair. When its time to get a new bike, this place is a leading contender.
As for the ride rode down Midlothian Turnpike and got on 288 and rode out toward Hull Street. Visited my girlfriend at work, and then stopped at Sunday Park where I took the photo at left of the bike. Nice lake there and a very good (though expensive) seafood restaurant, The Boathouse.   
Beautiful place to hang out for a break, fun to ride in Richmond, and cool to see many interesting things. Was a nice day, and enjoyed the ride a great deal. Got to ride around 40 miles, as it was a work day, but seemed like a good idea - and it was.
Glad to have it up, and even better to see humidity and heat are starting to get less and less. Though both will rise again, signs of Fall getting closer are starting to get in the air...and that is my favorite time of year. To me, Fall is why we ride motorcycles, and looking forward to some great rides this fall. Plus glad to be on the Vulcan again - it continues to be a fantastic motorcycle and a joy to ride!
