: perkins memorial drive, bear mountain :

[soonster]

here's the full route we had taken: http://goo.gl/maps/osL2 , if any nj/ny FX'ers want to burn a few miles and 1/2 tank of gas.

Thanks for the map, S! Definitely doing this on the bike! :hint hint:

 

[soonster]

Can I barrow that S4 from TOM! ???

 

[aiya]

S5...and if you wreck it....you will be able to get the rs5

 

[soonster]

after endless hrs of re-rendering/editing.... this juggernaut vid clip is the largest of the batch:

GTO should be please of this seasonal road. Sit in SHOTGUN with me :smile (2):

It's official, when I lead we travel at a snail's pace. Soonster is the read deal speed racer!

 

[soonster]

guess it's only fair for me to walk into your shot for once :tongue (2):

 

[davidcarson48]

That's a great loop. You need a couple of GEN 2s for the next run!

 

[soonster]

Will be awhile before I do another bear mountain run, next is prob a "Hawks Nest" by NJ's High Point State Park.

This thread has all the necessary info/maps/video for anyone new to that area. Just take it easy by the edges of the mountain.

That road seemed to get narrower as we sped up a little :tongue (2): Thanks for all the pics and vids, soon :top:

This one turned out blurry but I still like it:

 

[soonster]

great pics Rich, loving that MIRROR w/ reflection but where did you find the time to get the camera when all the twisties are in front of you? :nerd (2):
Lots of multitasking for sure!

 

[aiya]

Love the avatar, Soon!

+1 on both!
Btw, great pics Rich.

I'd like to thank both Rich and soon for taking time in documenting this first bi-annual bear mountain outing :congrats: :burnout:

 

[soonster]

thanks for reminding me =) and stirring it up.
I'm a procrastinator since I had sold my CBR a year ago... :tongue (2):, for these types of runs.

public roads... need to hit the lotto and build my very own back roads.

After watch that clip, it looks like I'm the only one that tapped the brakes so many times. :sluggish: Next time we hit that road I'm going to make sure VDC is on all the time. lol :wink (2):

This one turned out blurry but I still like it:

Talk about multi tasking. It was a handful for me just taking that road with VDC off, and your over there taking a shot of the rear? :eek.: Hands down to you Rich.

It’s not a real camera like the both of you guys, but snapped one with the camera phone.

 

[soonster]

My VDC is always on for those unsuspecting road conditions, dirt / leaves / small pebbles are in my viewing horizons.

Here's a slower video due the caught up traffic. Guess it's worthwhile since it's crossing of the Bear Mountain Bridge (landmark for the area):
