NJ To Block Island Off Roading on a Streetfighter S...

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=warren...mid=1283989562

First solo ride over about 45 minutes, only issue was wind with a big backpack on.

Ferries with bikes is scary, first trip over i never got off of it, on the way back i was never more than a foot away, was pitching and rolling far too much for me to be interested in!!!

I was one of two vehicles on the ferry the other was an SUV on the other end. I parked right next to the mattress I found on the side, lucky for my bike this is while I was docked
.

Only flat surface happened to be pretty sweet spot for a photo wish i brought a proper camera.


To give you an idea of what i had to go through here is the top down view...
41.153802,-71.550926 Google maps That is the concrete patch, look at the two paths.

On the way back, furthest I was ever away from it,
At the end of the trip I had a little more confidence, riding on dirt and wet grass for the first time at night was intense. The pebbles were interesting, the front goes down with almost no input. It needs a total wash at this point.

2200 miles and counting.

I don't mind about my plate for those that are going to say something..

Sam

I've seen ferries with tie downs for bikes, should have had those on your boat. No doubt they have had fall overs.
