    New tag 1/22/12.

    It has about a mile or so of gravel leading up to it, with pot holes, water, etc. Not bad, just want to point that out.

    Picture should be a sufficient clue, maybe.

    Sure was a beautiful day for a venture into the Great Dismal. Wish you could ride further down those roads.

    Pretty famous landmark in Old Town Portsmouth. At the end of London St, and Waters St.
    Wife and I had a nice 2 up ride this morning. Weather was fantastic.

    It was so nice today we got an early start. Probably there and gone by 1030. Wish we could have ran into you. Sure would have been nice to be able to go down that trail for couple miles.

    I sure thought about heading down the trail....

    Leaving the Swamp, I decided to take one of my famous short cuts. Wound up completely lost, in the middle of nowhere, down to 11 miles of fuel range with no gas station in sight. When I finally found a gas station, all they had was diesel and 87 octane, and the gasoline was like $3.59!!! Since my range said 6 miles, I put $10.00 worth of the stuff in it. Runs fine, so far. Anyways, found my way back to civilization, figured out where I was at, and headed home. Great day for a ride!

    Yorktown Battlefield tour road is where this one is. About 3 minutes from where I work. Small stream crossing to get to it, but nothing to worry about.

    New tag incoming soon!!

    Pretty funny BigRosey, I was on my way there, also on a white f800 with hard cases when I got a call from a friend and headed back the other way for a ride down route 5. Would have been a pretty funny Bruce pic. Glad you grabbed it for thewhite F800 club!
