Here's what it looks like riding around New England in October!

 

Nice! I miss living in rural areas...

 

Looks great.
Those carbs in your blog look a bit neglected!
What are temps looking like now?

 

The days are in the 60's. Today it was closer to 70F. Jacket weather.
I didn't have to go too far away from the house to get the flavor of Fall in New England.

Those carbs came-in for Cleaning just the way you saw those pictures. The bike was a 15+ Year sitter. Plus, that was the first time I ever found a Diaphragm that far off from being installed right. From the looks of things by the way I got those carbs in here ... somebody thought about c leaning them and then gave up!

They left here as best as I could do. I even patched the holes in the diaphragms with liquid electrical tape. Last I heard ... he was riding it and having some fun with it.

 

Thanks Rick, now I'm homesick
I grew up in an area like that...

Nice shots Rick. The colors here in NoVA haven't filled in yet but there were still a few places that looked kind of like yours. Maybe this coming weekend but we still haven't had the freeze needed for lots of color and doubt if we will in time.
Weather yesterday was just perfect. High 70's, dry air and a Sunday! Did a 60 mi bike ride in the morning then drove home and got the motor to go back out and visit some other scenic places. I saw so many motors out while I was pedaling that I kept pusihng the pace so as to get finished with the first ride and go join them. Of course, thousands of other people had exactly the same sort of ideas. Luckily both types of cycling make you familiar with the backroads so I was able to dodge the traffic jams on the freeways filled with pumpkin pickers and leaf lookers.
Days like yesterday come just often enough to make you remember them as really special.

Born and raised in the White Mountains of NH and i kills me when you guy from that neck of the woods post pictures like this. It makes me homesick. I'd shoot some pix of the neiborhood here in central SoDak but they won't come close. lots of scared pheasents and mowed cornfields

 

Beautiful area to live. I will stick to the mountains though. Watch out for those slippery leaves on the road way though. Ride safe.
