Chad has been home for a visit and we were able to get away for two nights and ride the mountains. We did the Skyline Drive, sunny with cool temps and clear air. It was great to get a ride in together again; we rode the R65 and the Wing. There were twelve m/c’s at the motel the first night!
Wing Takes Flight
Just got back from my first trip on the Wing. I did the Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park and a little of the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 800 miles round trip from home. It was very pleasant in the mountains, but a brutal heat wave going and coming. The Wing did super with the ride and handling, great torque and good mileage. Cruised on auto pilot and listened to tunes while traveling on the slab. The CBS (combined braking system) is a real plus!
CBR 250 Test Ride
Yesterday I took a ride on the R65 to enjoy our beautiful spring weather and to stop by and see what new bikes they had at the Honda shop. They had gotten in all the new models with the exceeption of the new 700 that isn’t due for several months. They had five new CBR 250’s covering all three colors and both ABS and non-ABS models. They offered me a test ride on a red-whire-blue ABS unit and I jumped at the chance to try one out. The bike is super agile, comfortable and seemed to have addequate pep. Since it was brand new, I didn’t run it very high in the RPM range, nor ride it more than a few miles, but it was far enough to convince me that I would like to have one. I recommend a test ride and enjoying the pleasures of a little bike again. Fun Bike.
