Late Autumn Daytona Ride

[Blueboarhound]

Sunny and a high of 68 yesterday, go for a ride? Hmmm.....let me think about it, YES!

I don't think I'll have too many more riding days like this in '14 so I headed north into coal country. Most of the bright colors are gone now but the foliage was still nice, just darker shades of red, yellow and orange. Stopped to check out a dam, didn't get any dam souvenirs but did take a few dam photos. No dam wildlife to be seen but the water was dam clear.

On the return trip I cut through Ft. Indiantown Gap. There are great roads in and around FITG as it is an "open" installation however you need to be wary of the "Tank Crossing" signs. You also don't want to be wandering onto the ranges the A-10's use for their gun runs, that would be a bad day. When I fueled up in Lickdale at start of my ride I was about 5 miles west of FITG and I could hear and feel the impacts of something being fired.

We all know these Guzzi donks are bulletproof. Just not when they come from chain guns!

 

 

Great photos! Thanks!!

[Blueboarhound]

Yeah, Guzzis are often described as "bulletproof" but I think a 30mm depleted uranium round may do the job.

[docc]

Heh - yeah, I've long said it only depends on here the bullet's been put.

 

Nothing like riding on artillery ranges . . .
