Ride to Sunday Park (June 28, 2015)

Got in a Sunday ride...and the first stop I made was Sunday Park. There is a small lake there (used for water) and there were some sailboats and a pontoon boat on it. There is also a restaurant there called The Boathouse which is very good (also very pricey) with two other locations in Richmond. Good place to eat though. Ride was real nice, temperature was around 78 and humidity was not a concern. Yesterday was a full day of storms and showers so this was really nice to get out and enjoy the road a bit. I was glad to have the one day to ride. There are times that it is impossible to get even that.
Stopped at Steel House Harley Davidson on what was an out and back ride. Down Rt 360 and back. This was on the way back. Nice dealer and they have some good motorcycles. Problem I have with Harley-Davidson is reliability and the cost is amazingly high. Looked at that survey at Consumer Reports...Harley reliability was about in the middle...way worse than the Japanese bikes, but better than Triumph, Ducati, BMW and especially Can-Am. I want to ride my motorcycle not work on it, or have it spend time in the shop.
Anyhow, did that riding today, and it was a wonderful day on two wheels. Got quite a few more rides coming up -will be on vacation in four days. My plan is to explore Virginia, for a change not going out of the state to Carolina, or Kentucky. No plans to even go to other places...going to see some of the sights in this amazing state.
