Got in a Nice Motorcycle Ride
Took off early with my father in law yesterday morning & got in a nice 3hr ride.

Timed it perfectly, was just getting hot out when we got home.

Other than 1 wrong turn, it was a great ride. Very light traffic & mostly nonexistent traffic on the back roads.

I was on a 16 Vulcan S & my father in law was on his Victory Cross Country Tour. Had to stop at about 1/2 way to stretch; the factory seat on the Vulcan isn't ideal for long distance/time in the saddle.

First long ride I've done, most of my riding has been commuting & little 30min local rides. Definitely will be getting more in soon. May try it on the Indian next time, definitely more comfortable, but much less sporty compared to the Vulcan.

Nice loop! I intended to get the old Honda out today, but ran out of time, getting actual chores done.

What app do you use for the tracking?




God bless America.

Nice ride, a good 2 to 3 hour ride is perfect to get out and enjoy the countryside.
The rain finally cleared up around here, but I couldn’t get out today.

Nice P250UA, I'm not familiar with your exact route but there sure is some nice riding in Ohio.
I'm just back from delivering the 5&7 year old grandsons back to their rightful owners, after having them for 4 days so I'm looking forward to getting some helmet time tomorrow!


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

App is calimoto
First time I've used it. Pretty lightweight on battery use too.

Had that running & Spotify streaming for 3 hrs and only used about 24% of my battery.

Will keep that in mind for next time. We only stopped once, and a lot of it was narrow 2 lane with no shoulder.
