Lets have a thread for great rides, big or small.
I had a great ride (50 miles) after work Tuesday, great weather, wet sand.
And 65 miles today, great munky fun!

And moving downed trees off the trail.

In the Pine Barren’s you either go over or around it. Keep on truckin’ on Brett.

I just pick the tree's up and move them if I am able.
I try and do a little trail clearing on each ride if I come across stuff in the trail.
Lots of rain in the morning so it was a bit of a swamp today after work.

Thanks Mike. I have maintained a 2 mile trail for over 2 decades and have cleared / bypassed or made log jumps with smaller logs. I now have a 'come-along' to drag them.
Never tried fire.

From a 150ish mile ride on Sunday. I love this thing more than I ever could have imagined.

Would like to find a bag that fits the rack but looks appropriate for the bike for longer rides without needing a backpack.

It was a little wet in the dragon.

Posted this elsewhere but it fits here. Trip was in May...
Did a 4,382-mile 23-day (5-days visiting in Phoenix) trip a month ago. Koso Intake, K & N Filter, DHM Stage 1 Flash for large intake and STOCK exhaust. I was estimating 88mpg overall. Overall means from 700'msl in Chicago area through 34-degree snow/rain/graupel, flats of IA, KS, OK, and South to West TX. Then through southern NM around 7,000' plus over the Continental Divide. From OK, for 3-days, fought winds 25-35mph w/ gust to 65 forecast. 84mph gusts reported. That was a grind. From NM into AZ, down the mountains to 99-degree temps in Phoenix at 1,500' msl. Tires and oil change in PHX. Headed NE out of PHX, into northern AZ/NM and NNE through the Rockies up to 10,261' max. Chama to Antinito via 17 is FANTASTIC!!! Bike too!!! Said to myself many times this would not be happening w/stock ECM. Exiting CO was a straight East shallow up and down descent into KS. From Western KS into IA and IL where I was kicked out a park while sleeping well at 4am; WTF? Park closed dusk to dawn. Only failure was front right running bulb element (turn signal element ok)(had bulb w/ me). Planning for the next great adventure!!!

Some street, some dirt, love the Monkey!

All the back roads around Black Diamond, WA are totally empty late Sunday afternoons. Just putting around 35mph without having anybody behind you is so relaxing.

 

[NJ-Brett]

Yes, its very nice on country roads with no traffic, plenty of that around here down South.

65 miles of dirt riding in the rain today, the Monkey did great.
Out to Batstow one way, back on another trail.

Over 5600 miles on the Monkey now.

 

[Chim Chim]

Batstow. Cool. Have not been there in 30 years. In PA now but lived in Lindenwald at the end of the 80’s. We used to ride the Harleys down there. Would love to ride the Monkey around there now.

I work in Laurel Springs and live in Voorhees so very close to the pine barrens.
Its nice riding, on the street or in the dirt.
Rode down to Millville today, about 70 miles, was a very nice ride.

Hit me up if you ever want to venture up to my area. I live about 20 minutes from the Delaware water gap and know all sorts of gravel back roads and stuff off Old Mine road. 👍👍👍
Love the thread, rack them miles up👌

Around Black Diamond, Washington, on a late Sunday afternoon, the rural roads are deserted. Just cruising around at 35 miles per hour with no one on your tail is quite peaceful.

New favorite Monkey stomping grounds - Vashon island, WA. My dad lives within walking distance to the Vashon ferry. I just park the van at his place, pull the Monkey out, and ride to the ferry dock. If you're on a bike, you bypass all the waiting traffic and park right up front. First on, first off. The island is still rural with tons of little roads to explore. I'm trying to hit every road and 3 trips might not cover it.
