Nearly got to Deals Gap for lunch.

Ran from the rain again.

At my one gas stop I mount up with a full tank.


Flick up kickstand and move forward and left away from the pump towards the exit behind me.


Passing behind a couple of parked cars I see reversing lights and movement.


No time for the horn.


A quick burst of throttle, more lean and a brief peg scrape and I'm out of harms way.


The rider at the other side of the pump I left from is looking at me and the car as if he thinks somehow I managed to pass through the trunk unscathed.

Should the camera view be set a little lower for  more of the road ahead to be visible?

Huh. Full screen on my laptop is a bit blurry. Camera is looking through my windshield. Darn it.

I also rode today... pulled out the red bike, warshed it and ran
some gas through it. Started right up, ran good  cooldude ...
I didn't stop at The Dragon, but I did stop at a random house
out in the country where they had a big table full of tomatoes
in the front yard with a money jar....



I think MarkT's stays-on adapter (which so far has stayed on) looks cool at that angle...

Camera angle looks good to me, but have to turn volume down cause of wind noise.

Thanks again for taking us along.... I hope I'm still physically and mentally able to get out and about randomly like that when (If?) I finally reach a point in my life where that'd be feasible...
