Went riding on June 20, the last official day of Spring. Was a good day though the heat was in the upper 90's so went for an early ride along the James River. Beautiful ride and had a great time being out in the "cool" of the day.
I also rode to Goochland, VA for the first time..not much there; an old courthouse and an old Stone Jail (seems to be a lot of that here) and some really nice roads. Some were roads I have been on, some of them were really new.
Got home around noon, had big storms later that night which killed a lot of power in the area, but thankfully not my place.
Went out on Sunday which was Father's Day; I am a Dad but one son lives in Louisville and the other in North Carolina. Went to Galley (its the old Navy man in me, like the food and the theme of the place) and road around some after a very good brunch.
A lot of streets had lights out (no power) and were four ways stops, a lot of trees were down from the storms which were pretty impressive the night before. Once again the temperatures were up even early, and I rode around Richmond before coming in. Before coming back went by Advance and got some SeaFoam (tune up in a can) and added some of that with fuel. Bike running great but that stuff really cleans fuel injectors. All the Vulcan riders swear by it, and have used it for the past few years. That and a quality motorcycle have made the past 10 years with it wonderful. One funny story - salesman at the auto parts store told me he had a Harley Sportster (new one) and in the first year it broke down 3 times. Told him (knock on wood) in ten years mine has never left me sitting. Part luck (could always pick up a nail, etc) but she has sure been one reliable ride.
