I took a little vaca

[Road King Cole]

Wife and I packed up the bike and rode to Florida and then Jamaica. OK, Florida MA (in the Berkshires) and Jamaica VT. Were only going to spend 2 nights, but extended it to 4. First real road trip on just the bike, you can pack just enough in the saddlebags. If we stayed any longer we would have needed to start swapping underwear! Maybe I will take the boat out tomorrow and take relatives out fishing to get that commitment over with.

OK, I know pictures...

Cruising up to mt greylock;

We did do some rafting, instead of paying big bucks for the real pictures, I took pictures of the TV when they were displaying them;

Beer Stop! (albeit they do not make their own beer there)

Up in the hicks, no biker bars and actually very few bars at all. Had to improvise:

Nice ride RKC. I've made that ride before. Some of the best we have in this area. :clap:
The dude with the banjo looks like he could use a change of underwear!

[RWilson2526]

Great scenery...looks like a nice ride....and what IS that dude with the banjo wearing on his leg .

I like taking the pic of the TV too....more than one way to skin a cat.

[Road King Cole]

Yea, that banjo player rode in on an dirty station wagon that just happened to be a Mercedes. It looked like some stocking bandage thing on his leg. Note that his shirt looked pretty white for a bum, I bet he did have clean underwear.

wife asked if it was alright to take a picture.

He said "OK as long as we don't sell it and make money...don't you recognize me?"

never actually heard him play, it took him 3/4 of a beer to tune up and the wife was anxious to hit the road.

boy am I looking obese. will start a diet after my vaca is over (one more week). I can't be as fat as I look in the pictures...

Very nice RKC, made that run with the CEO on the back of my bike a few times also, glad you had a few days of fun. I miss my bikes.

[bradford]

Beautiful scenery Road King. A close friend of mine practically lived on a Harley during 70's and 80's. Love the Legalize Freedom on your helmet.
