Great Pics!!  Thanks for sharing. I grew up going to those old forts up in Lake George and Saratoga, lots of history. Thats whats missing out here, no real sense of Patriotism. Bike is looking great - probably not even broken in yet.
You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....

My pleasure but not as much a pleasure as the ride itself..typical end of summer near fall weather, it was awsome. But still alot of tourist congestion albeit late August. We stopped at a The Clam Shack but was to focused on lobsta and whole clams to think about a photo..I never think past the food to remember to take a damn picture of it: https://theclamshack.net/Whats considered broke in? Bike has maybe only 3300+- miles on it since 6-1-12. The first 2 1/2 months was riding around to dealerships getting that front end wobble out. I 110% absolutely llike everything about it despite my original displeasure with the new technology. I was wrong.

I never think about the pics either - unless we're stopped and then the cameras are out. At meal time I'm all foodie. We have an all you can eat lobster buffet out here but it's not like the fresh east coast catch of the day... As for the bike- broken in is when every thing is loosened up- Usually over 10k - enjoy the newness - that's one thing that never lasts.
