WNY & Finger Lakes Breakfast and general BS Thread

I met rtwdoug as he came through wellsboro last year. I took lots of pictures when they were in town. Some of those bikes look like they would be a handful to ride that kind of distance.

I saw this bike today, never saw one before

Won't start unless gasoline leaks from primer button.

George

All recalls.

No Harley


George

Why not?

Needs lot of gasoline.
Had a neighbor who could never kick start it.
We pushed him into action.

It shifts on the right side, probably hard to drive if not used to that. This bike was parked near Ludlow Castle, I'm on vacation. Don't have a bike but taking pictures of interesting ones as I come across them

Was nice to get out and also see you Richard. You always find the good places to stop for food..

Did my first track-day at NYST this past Sunday. We did three instructional sessions in the morning. The riding coach was very good, and I learned a whole bunch....In fact, more than I could apply in just one day! Here are a few photos our ZRX buddy, Dallas took. I'm the slow old guy on the slow, little, old bike! Kind of a motley crew, don't ya' think?

I was there this past Monday, great track.

And yes track days are a GREAT learning platform, highly recommend everyone does at least 2 or 3.

Motley crew

Is this Ken F?



George

Nope....That's Daryl from Boston on his very well used Boston commuter ZRX 1100. The clock is over 90,000 miles without opening the engine for repair or modification. He also has 17 track days on the bike. He rides the wheels off of the thing.

Nice job with the track day Ken.


Last week I went to Kentucky. Stayed at Pineville State park with 10 other guys. 2700 miles in eight days, outstanding roads. Went to the Corvette museum and saw the hole in the ground. Spent some time on Little Shepard's trail, which is a somewhat well known gravel/pavement mix of a trail. Lots of fun. Took too many pics. Here are two links, one is the museum and the other is the rest of the trip.

Thanks for the link George, now I have something to read on this crappy day.

You are welcome.
Crappy day for sure.
Looks like lake effect rain showers marching down on us from the north.
Fall weather.

You forgot to mention New River Gorge!!! If you get through Fayetteville again, make sure to stop for the berry cobbler at the Cathedral Cafe - Rob can tell you I was OCD about having ice cream and crust and berries all touching in the same dish before that - after that experience though....I am a cobbler fan forever-now it's all goooooooooooooood!!!

Nice pics Kevin!!!

Thanks for the tip, I frequently travel through that area at meal time when traveling to and from NC. I never found a good place to eat in Summerville, looks like I have now. Menu looks great.
