Title: Back in the USA and "riding"
Post by: Millietant on May 12, 2023, 02:45:40 PM
Well, for the first time since the Covid lockdowns, we're back in the USA. Only here for 2 weeks though, spending time in CT for a family wedding and a bit of time down in SC (Myrtle Beach) soaking up some sun and having a day at the beach.

I managed to get out on 2 wheels today, but only with person power, not horse power.  :sarcastic:

Still had a great ride and it really feels good to be back on the Connecticut trails.

Just wish I could find somewhere to rent me a FJ......................(or a FZ1) !!!!!!!

Thanks Pat...... I'll have to see if I can change my flight to Sedona instead of Myrtle Beach and just hope that Liz and the boys don't notice I'm not there  :sarcastic:

Or Illinois - if you don't mind a slightly ratty '89 with the good colours.  As a side benefit we have no hills or corners, and very few trees.

When there are no curvey roads you can make use of highway exit & entrance ramps that are the cloverleaf type. Unfortunately it's only right hand corners, kind of like Nascar racing.  :sarcastic:
