Nice pics! That place in on my list of places I want to go to in my Bed, Breakfast and Bike book. The book is a bit out of date - 13 years old. But it makes nice reading.

You have a triumph..cool..(i know very very little about motorcycles
)
That scenery would be wonderful to bike past however as you say it would be
on a road bike.
That Inn looks oh so inviting..
Thank you again for sharing your story.

I know very little about motorcycles, too. (I have to thank Queen for most of my knowledge!) I do have a Triumph. It is great - not scary fast and it doesn't look like an insect like so many motorcycles do these days.
This trip was baptism by fire. I had about 600 miles on the bike before it and I doubled it on this ride. Always learning. Cycling helps a lot with the "handling" and the "car awareness", but it is still a bit scary. I don't ride with DD yet. Not enough miles under my tires to add a person.
I'll post a few more pictures.

Thom and I wondered who PP was riding with. It took him about three months of commuting daily before he was comfortable letting me ride with him.

passengers
I've read it recommended you wait 6 months before you take a passenger. I had no problem taking her on the Vespa, but I can see the logic. I'll give it several more months at least. All I will be doing with her is going to school, anyway. But still....
(It's also recommended you start with an adult passenger, outfitted in ride-gear, just to be safe.)
She's been riding with the Big P for years. Heck, our first trip eons ago was me and him on a motorcycle. In the freezing rain.
Crazy kids.
