All,
Today was my first 'big' day on the GS-1000 - 249 Miles today.
My original Route was supposed to be 320, but got cut short owing to
a late start and running long at a customers place early in the day.
Here is the truncated route - which doesn't take into account the Loop Road
at Acadia National Park - or some additional sight seeing in the Bar Harbor
area: http://mapq.st/keoPN8
First things first - Let me recommend something to you all - if you
haven't ridden the Loop Road at Acadia National Park - Do it. Bikes are half
price admission - $5 for a seven day pass. I'm going back before my pass
runs out :-) Its arguably the prettiest road in Maine, legendary around the
East Coast and is 25-35 MPH the entire way, two lanes and one way around the
loop. Great for bikes, since nothing is going to come at you while you have
your head gawking at the scenery.
I took a bunch of photos - both of the trip and stock stuff for an
upcoming Calendar I plan to produce.

The first two shots are of the interior of Geddy's Pub - Bar Harbor
- the license plates are enough to keep me coming back - add the wood fired
pizza oven and the great burgers - I plan to swing in again soon :-)
The next shot is of a ship (sorry - I don't know my nautical
terminology - Paul Annen wanna help here?) in Bar Harbor. Next two are of
the Harbor and boats.
The next shot was taken from the Acadia National Park Loop road -
and overlooks the Atlantic.
The next shot is primarily for Kyle - it proves that you can drive a
car from Texas north of I-10 - and contrary to that old Maine saying - You
Can Get there from Here :-)
Next - This is the view out the Windshield of the GS-1000.
After that last shot - I began to experiment more with shooting with
one hand as I rode with the other. I don't recommend it in traffic - nor
would I attempt it on a road with traffic coming at me. This next shot was
the first attempt - you can see the top of the Canon Powershot I use as my
'secondary' camera.
The shot in the Mirror was taken while moving - not bad for one
handed shooting :-)
The 1800cc GoldWing and trailer pulled up beside me on the Loop road
- friendly folk - they waived :-)
The next shot is of an extremely handsome guy - me. :-) Shot that in
a rest area along Route 1. Camera is on a stone post.
The next to the last shot is of the 'Welcome to Machias' sign - a
very nice town on Rt. 1. Famous for the Blueberry Festival, there are a lot
of great people around there.
The last shot is sort of a 'huh' shot - That is the smallest DOT
Rest Area I have ever seen. I'm pretty sure it is the smallest in the state
- maybe the nation. :-)
Fun day - and its already tomorrow :-) Can't wait to go again!
