A classic. Closer to Madness - Flamenco at its finest.

Ah... a cool old Honda motorcycle in perfect condition Thanks Walnut! It’s a ‘76 f1 I picked up in 2011. It needed some TLC but it’s pretty good to go now. I keep it at my cabin so I can always ride when I’m up here. Lots of bikes out today. I have a 25 year old Harley on Long Island that is immaculate. I’ve been riding since the Stone Age. |

I gotta see these Catskills The Catskills region is about 2 hours drive north west from NYC. There are some fairly high peaks for the east. My cabin is at 2000 ft. and that’s not high. What most don’t realize is New York is a beautiful state once you get out of megalopolis. Adirondack Park occupies nearly the whole northern tier of the state and has Mt. Marcy at 5,344 ft., it’s the tallest peak in NY. If you look at an election map, you’ll see NY is red except for very high density urban areas. My mantra: urban culture vs, rural culture. |

Will it push a snowplow? |

In the late 70s I spent a week canoe camping across one of the big lakes in the Park. I was impressed. That was right before I went to Alaska for 8 years. Not sure I'd care for one of their winters anymore. In the late 70s of another century, I had a multi-great uncle who spent some time north of your Catskills shooting British regulars with Daniel Morgan's Riflemen.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan's_Riflemen Daniel Morgan got his start in the Revolutionary War in 1775 as the captain of a small rifle unit set up by the state of Virginia, one of 10 such units commissioned by Congress. Morgan recruited 96 men (80 men and 16 officers), marched 600 miles, arriving in Boston on August 6, 1775. They gave an exhibition as described in the [1] Virginia Gazette of September 9, 1775 quoted; "A man held between his knees a board 5 inches wide and seven inches long, with a paper bulls-eye the size of a dollar. A rifleman at 60 yards without a rest, put eight bullets in succession through the bulls-eye." From the same source we are told that the rifleman gave an exhibition "in which a company, on a quick advance, placed their shots in 7 inch targets at 250 yards." |
