Fort Knox

Saturday Duane and I shot down to Bucksport for a snack at the Harbor View Restaurant. The waitress told me the Snickers Pie was low cal and I chose to believe her. Duane's Sprint GT is soon to be replaced by a Trophy. I guess he'll take Cap's place as my sidekick.
We switched bikes in Hampden and I took the Sprint as far as the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. I really enjoyed the response of the 1050 triple and the chain drive on that bike. Sweet! The aggressive riding position doesn't fit me very well, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I could manage with the standard seating on a 1050 Tiger or Speed Triple just fine!
On the down side was state route 46. It is usually a joy but the frost wasn't yet out of the ground and the frost heave were horrendous. I'll give 46 a few more weeks before I go back!
