    I think you can use the outdoor gym.
    Wasn't busy and they weren't even checking for memberships.

    I have got to get out and ride some more. I grew up here and don't know these roads. Looks like a great place to finish breaking my engine in.

    Larry, not only did I (not) see your bike for sale, this is (not) my bike! Looks just like it although I just flipped over 13k miles. Wonder who's this is...

    I gotta check my camera. I was out there a couple weeks ago on my DRZ and I'm pretty sure I took a photo in the exact same spot! I need to get out there again and see how the new bike does . . .

    Didn't realize it until now, but thats Goose Creek.

    A little further downstream is Rocketman/Mica's Tag 35
    on the historic Goose Creek bridge. Both Rocketman and Mica
    had some adventure that day/night.

    Maybe not the exact spot, but close.

    Now that I'm getting the whole posting images thing down it looks like I might have to start grabbing NoVA tags . . . .

    Agree that its close to the same spot - and that is the other bridge.

    Did you see the outdoor gym?

    TRich, good to hear that you have that 705cc machine on the road.
    Stafford County is a very under tagged area.

    Sorry I missed this post. I am breaking in my 705 kit with headwork on a 2008 KLR. Well actually I am done breaking it in now, and just enjoying the ride.

    Sweet, I'll be interested to hear how the performance is after you can open it up. When I've got all my luggage and camping gear on, sometimes I'd like a little extra umph.

    Anyone interested in riding Sunday morning? I'm good for about 4 hours. I'm looking to do mostly on-road riding at a "reasonable" pace with maybe a little gravel thrown in, although I take the gravel pretty darn slow.
