I'm sharing this 5 minute clip from my ride on a balmy 50° January day. The leaves are gone this time. I wave to three other bikes out for an early morning joy ride. Learned how to add a music track in Youtube. Do you like it? Should I talk less or more?
These are my candid musings on my passion for motorcycles, especially riding my new Honda CTX700nd. I loved my Piaggio MP3 500 but I had to sell it to make room in my garage.

Early Morning Ride to West Chester - Horses & Leaves
This 8 minute video shows one of my favorite early morning weekend rides down Goshen Road in Chester County to West Chester and back. I used iMovie to speed up clips here and there and did a voice-over narration.
Look for the fox hunt procession at minute 4:35.

Riding Home from Norristown
After visiting a good friend in Norristown on Saturday, I turned on my Contour camera on the ride home. Some interesting curvy roads, but the main reason I'm sharing the video is to show off my new skills at working with iMovie. I turned a 37 minute ride into a 6 minute video. You can also hear my Screaming Banshee air-horn at 2:55. Check it out...

Philadelphia Ride for Kids - Main Event
The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is a wonderful charity that sponsors rides throughout the country. I attended the ride last year after owning my new scooter for only 2 months. I found out about the organization and ride through my membership in the EZ Riders Scooter Club.
I got to ride with 100+ other motorcyclists for a police-escorted 40 mile ride. Intersections were guarded - didn't even have to put our feet down!

Philadelphia Ride for Kids 2012 - Prelude
Six EZ Riders members and guests met up in Valley Forge Park for the 15 minute ride to the staging area at the Valley Forge Christian College. Here's a brief (<5 min) video from Valley Forge Park to the staging area.

Dover AFB: Air Mobility Command Museum
My longest and hottest ride yet. At times, the air temp on my bike's dash read 106 degrees! Good thing I brought plenty of water - some of which went straight down the front of my shirt. I didn't sacrifice comfort for safety - still had on my protective gear (boots, armored jacket and helmet, of course).
Seven from our EZRiders Scooter Club met at Lucky's Coffee Shop in Talleyville, Delaware, just north of Wilmington. Then we rode about an hour to eat an early lunch at Crabby Dicks at the Delaware City Hotel. I was the only one who ordered Crabby Dicks famous Crab Balls. After a leisurely lunch, it was on to the Museum, another hour long twisty ride along the Delaware bay.
There's plenty to see in the Air Mobility Museum. I even climbed into Air Force 2 (now retired) and saw the last airborne lair of VP Cheney.
Our club's very experienced ride leader was Hammy - thanks for a great ride! View the Google map of our route, almost 180 miles round trip for me.

Beaver Valley Road Ride
Just followed my nose and found some great rides near Ridley Creek and Brandywine State Parks. Here's a clip from somewhere on Beaver Valley Road.
