As the first show is happening as I write this on November 21 here in the Miami Valley, time to put the Triumph away till the spring.
Will be putting fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank, and taking the battery out in the next few days.
Looking forward to the adventures to come in 2025. Thank you for visiting my pages. Will still be updating Ohio and Me over the next few months, and back here this Spring.
As a veteran myself, think that is really important. Enjoyed the visit and try to do something to remember those who served every Veterans Day, and especially Memorial Day.
As for the ride, was wonderful as always
Cool morning but some beautiful weather to get out in. Made a stop not far from the house where I got the photo at left.
Riding season is getting close to ending, while the weather of late has been very warm for this time of year, and with the drought few days to not ride, winter is coming in the near future. For now though, enjoying the last few rides of 2024
Did get the Triumph out for a short ride. Stopped in Fairborn where I could see they have the Christmas tree up and soon to be decorated I'm sure.
Had coffee and pie while in Fairborn, both were very good.
Was a good day to get out for a short ride, and a nice way to give thanks for another year on this planet.
Hope you have a great day too, thanks for visiting my pages
Was a good day to ride once again, and the second day in a row. Neat town, and like Xenia saw they were getting ready for the Christmas holiday, putting lights in the trees lining the street. Looking forward to seeing that, later this holiday season.
Saw the horses on the way back home. Looking forward to the next few rides as this riding season winds down.
Saw this cabin there, and saw they were getting Christmas lights ready for an upcoming display (and that will be seen in a few weeks on my "Ohio and Me" page).
Saw horses running at the Greene County Fairgrounds, and got a photo of the old City Hall.
Was a very nice ride!
Been to a lot of places in the US (and beyond) over Halloween, to me Fairborn is one of the top places to see. You could (as I have) spend days and days looking at all it has to offer.
As for the ride, in late October here enjoyed blue skies, and unseasonably warm temperatures. Both were much appreciated, and I enjoyed the ride.
I got out and ran a few errands on the Triumph, which is a fun way to do them. I also got out in the country and greatly enjoyed that as usual.
Mentioned cows and passed quite a few of them, including some that you can see below. Interesting critters and enjoy seeing them while out.
It was a great ride under nice blue skies and had a wonderful time!
Enjoy seeing the sights a great deal, and this is a fun area to ride in. Vandalia has a lot to offer and there is a lot to see in that city.
It was a great ride, and the dam (seen at left with the colorful trees) and below is very interesting. A popular area but best enjoyed during the week.
Thanks for visiting my pages.
Lots of good Reds, Orange and Yellow in the trees. Due to the drought here, was told there would be very little color. Thankfully that was not the case.
It was a beautiful ride, and as always a great time on the motorcycle
Saw some Halloween in Fairborn, fall color in the trees, and an inspiring pair of signs while out.
The parade I mentioned in below, and a photo of the bike below that.
Great time out and a beautiful day to ride!
Took the motorcycle out for a short test ride, and all was well. Real happy with the Speedmaster over the years I have had it, very few problems with it. It has been almost Japanese quality wise. The British motorcycle was actually built in Thailand, and seeing that they do excellent work there. Actually lived in Thailand in my Navy Days back in the late 70's, so not really a surprise there.
Was another beautiful day to get out. Cool and under blue skies, temperature was in the upper 40's. Love riding early in the mornings after 9am, there is less traffic out as rush hour is over, and still a number of woodland creatures come out.
Looking forward to the next ride, thanks for visiting my pages.
Rode this morning, first sunny day in quite some time. Went out to see horses at Carriage Hill Farm, and monsters in Fairborn. Good to get out and was a very nice ride if a bit cool (49 degrees!) but was well dressed for it.
Rode into Fairborn, to a new coffee shop from yesterday, also a favorite (Lefty's) and also very good. A great ride is a beautiful thing, so is great coffee. Took it outside with my Triumph nearby.
Had another fine ride and having a great time enjoying this weather, though would not mind some rain soon.
As you can see of the corn directly below, very dry here. Great for riding, but tough on food. We have been over two weeks without rain.
Got in a few miles on this Sunday, rode out to The New Carlisle Airport before heading back home. Was a wonderful time out!
At left you can see the Radio controlled airplanes, of which these are just a small sample. I consider these some of the best I saw.
Below these are replica WW1 aircraft, piloted and many were flown . It was a pretty nice event, though was there for just a short while.
Rode around Springfield for awhile, did not see anyone eating dogs, cats or geese. The clown tRUMP is a howling jackass. Vote Blue!
Rode out to some local places, in the top a local park not far from me, and the other was taken at George Rogers Clark Park which is....also not far from me.
Was a great time though, and looking forward to the next adventure on two wheels.
Did ride into Fairborn, basically because it was there. Stopped at a local car dealer and checked out some old cars which can be seen below.
Stopped by the Democratic Headquarters in Fairborn. Like talking to them, they are not bat shit crazy like the Trumpians are . Donald Trump is garbage wrapped in skin.
At any case, saw some nice sights and traveled some cool roads before heading back home. Had a wonderful ride, and looking forward to the next one.
Was a fantastic year of riding, with a number of great places and fun adventures. Got out on Sunday, ran a few errands, and got in a few mil...
