TW200 Rides of the Past...

I had someone on the TW Forum ask me why I had only ridden my Yamaha TW "200 miles in 7 years"? and that I should be out riding new adventures instead of reliving "Stale Memories"...or something like that?  

Anyway, the TW as it sits in my garage it stands at 7897 miles, almost all either "off roads, back roads, or to, from, and during, some of the "Adventure Rides" over the past  7+ years...granted many of those miles were put on during the 2015 and 2016 riding years, when I was 66 and 67 years old.  Age has little to do with it, but our main riding partner, for me and Montezuma Nick, Judge Kurt "Borneo" was elected Judge in late 2016 and has pretty well thrown himself into his "Bench Work"...He was the driving force behind most, but not all of those adventures...up for re~election in 2022 he likely won't be riding until after he gets reelected ... which is almost certain, given the Red Area he resides. It is almost as Red as my county.  So The Judge is out of commission until 2023 most likely.

That leaves me to my own devices and turning 73 next March, one step ahead of the Grim Reaper, I hope.  So I plan on riding, after given serious consideration to selling Ol' Blue, more than I have the past 2 years for sure...2015 and 2016 are gone forever, but 2021 is here and 2022 not far off...Nick, Bob Reynolds, and I have some sort of ride planned this fall, but not exactly sure of where and when.

So yes, I have only ridden the TW around 200 miles...since the beginning of 2020...phony ass COVID be damn, the next 2 years should see a bit more than that.

Here are some photos of adventures past...

So yes, I've put a bit more than "200 miles" on the past 7 years...in addition to riding around on dirt and gravel in "Amish Country" in Eastern Indiana's next door, me and Ol' Blue have been to Moab, Big Bend Texas, the Wisconsin Northwoods and Michigan both the lower and "Yooper", West "By Gawd" Virginia's Central Mountains, and both southern Indiana and Ohio's Covered Bridge areas...and the Loop Road and northern Everglades of South Florida...and more to come...
