What cha riding these days" (AJ & Dan)
* AJ: TU250X (2009) https://suzukicycles.com/street/2019/tu250x
* Red was just 2009 https://ridermagazine.com/2009/06/22/2009-suzuki-tu250x-road-test/
* Dan: FLHCS (2020):
* Dan’s flavor of color 2020 Heritage Classic Motorcycle | Harley-Davidson United States (archive.org) (https://web.archive.org/web/20200805081711/https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/motorcycles/heritage-classic.html)
So if we had to go ‘buy the best, cry once’ what is that bike?
* AJ: Ducati Scrambler X (PNW Green edition) https://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/jpg/201410/ducati-scrambler-urb-4.jpg
* Dan: HD Limited CVO (Royal Purple and Royal Black Fade) https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/motorcycles/cvo-limited.html
* It depends though. Cross country touring? Absolutely the CVO.
* Carving canyons and dropping a knee en route to the city? Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS https://www.triumphmotorcycles.com/motorcycles/roadsters/speed-triple-1200
* Beginner? Something like the Honda CB500 https://powersports.honda.com/street/standard/cb500f
Best routes on two wheels (tick tock)
AJ:
* Bellingham to Victoria Inner Harbor (imagine doing this with your spouse on the back, hanging on to ya, as you ride up chuckanut, hit a ferry, and nothing but warm air. Parking - not a problem)
* San Juan Islands- Mt. Constitution, and island hopping: PNW pro tip- no need to worry about a missing a ferry on a motorcycle
*
Dan:
* Mohawk Trail - Pittsfield to Greenfield, MA (Quintessential New England Fall leaves changing)
* Car Trips Western Mass - Scenic Driving Western MA - Tours through Western Mass Countryside - Tours of New England - Fall Foliage Tours - Mohawk Trail (http://www.mohawktrail.com/driving-tours.html)
* https://youtu.be/PtbUEXYwKZA
* Mount Washington - Worth the hype; get the bumper sticker. Highest wind ever recorded by man (231 mph/200.7 kts back in 1934).
* 8 mile trip up the mountain with a packed dirt road at mile 6 (if I recall).
* Plan for the weather and expect it to change!
* You WILL work your brakes coming down. Be ready!
* Mazda Hakone Turnpike - Japan
* Outstanding views of Mt. Fuji at the rest area.
* Beautiful first thing in the morning
* Twisties
* ¥700 if I recall
