Then headed home, took 79 back to meadville, then 19 the rest of the way home..... there were sooo many bikes out... we asked a couple riders when we stopped close to pymatuming some directions, they were headed to geneva on the lake... I think we did close to 350 miles. Great day, the honda did great i think it likes cruizing at 60-65.

just a pic close to home

This was the first real road trip i took the honda on... and its surprisingly comfortable, even after 340 miles. I am very happy with my 600$ bike.

Awesome man, its nice to see that someone else got out this weekend. And what's the deal with those fish? Is that a hatchery or something? How did the bike run? Thanks for posting, great pics.
