I preped the bike for the trip today. The black Galfer lines, I ordered finally came in today, so I them installed this evening. Charged the battery, changed oil, washed it, lubed the chain, and checked all the bolts. It's more than ready!

On a side note I'll be traveling 2 up as well. I'll be leaving here around 3:30, and hitting NYC traffic right at rush hour on Friday. Garmin says a little over 6 hours, so I'm hoping to make it in 8, which would put me at the hotel around 11:30. I'm feel like a kid on Christmas eve.

I am glad you are not going alone, that is a long trip to take, especially after working all day. Ride safe, take breaks to stretch and rehydrate(I sound like a mom, well I am one) I know you are an experienced rider but I guess the Mom in me worries about the long ride....take care, and have a fantastic time.

I'm back home safe and tired after a great ride yesterday. It was nice to meet some many people from the forum and many thanks to FZ6inNH for all the effort planning/coordinating. I expect some good photo posting for us poor riders whose wife insisted on having the camera somewhere else this weekend.

 

[FZ1inNH]

Michele and I are also back home safe! I have to sort through the pics and then put them in the FTP site. I'll post the site name along with the login info later tonight.

I want to thank EVERYONE for a fantastic weekend! We had the absolute BEST weather and a totally incident free tour although ant_mb did have a valve stem core fail on the way up Friday night. We had 15 people, beautiful weather, excellent visability, great roads and zero incidents. The gathering at the resort afterward was a really great finish to the day.

We left at 8am and got back into Lincoln at 9:30 pm. It was a long day and we wore out nearly everyone! You were all great company and I sincerely appreciate your cooperation with responsible and safe riding! We were very happy to meet each and every one of you. I hope everyone makes it home safe!

Pics to follow soon. :thumbup:

Just got back in here. Spent all day meandering NH back roads in a southerly fashion. Thanks FZ6inNH for putting this together, and it was a pleasure to meet everyone! I'll have a bunch of pics too, but in the meantime here is a video of a guy driving the Kancamangus. (not any of us) The hairpin is at 40 seconds left in the vid. Definitely need to do this again... Perhaps in the fall???:thumbup:

Kellina and I made it back safe as well!:thumbup:

Thanks for a great weekend guys. I didn't get to spend as much time with you all as I would have liked, but it was a lot of miles cramed into 2 days for me. We would up doing 1200 miles 2up in 47 hours.

It was definitely more fun both mornings (yeah I did it again this morning ) than last night at dusk wondering if a moose was going to wander out. Looks like the VFR was moving faster than I was except for the 90+ bit it took to overtake the one SUV going my way who was previously travelling 45 mph until I had a chance to pass.

Was a good time indeed, thanks to Eric for arranging a great group ride!!( I'll do better on the sweeping duties next time)
Was a pleasure to meet all of you.

That Mt Washington ride was absolutely fun/scary:rockon:

My one little pic contribution. Looking at the head of Tuckermans Ravine.

 

[chuckfz6ryder]

We're home safe too:Flash:

Thanks to everyone for such a great time. It was nice meeting/seeing you again. Thanks Eric and Michelle for the help with our lodging Saturday night, Sandy really didn't feel like riding any farther looking for a place to stay, and I enjoyed hanging out with all of you guys, pizza and beer was great after that long ride. I hope to post some of our pics if they are any good/not duplicates of what already gets posted.

 

[mpb218]

Yup, made it home too. But man I wish I could be in those mountains again, what a good time!

Whose black FZ6 is that? It's looking good! Looks a bit faster then all the others too...

Here's a small sample of what is there. BTW, the pics in the FTP site are the full 8.1 pics and are a bit large. These samples are reduced to 55% of original. Enjoy!
