Hello again Goatsey...nope, not the same as Arlo Guthrie's Fame, but it is a popular local hangout. On any given summer weekend there will be tons of bikers there, we have some of the best roads for riding....
Hello again Jonny Goat Oh yeah, I have always ridden Japanese road bikes, all older, I ride an 83 nighthawk 700s and a 78 Kawi kz 750 now, mainly the nighthawk (in picture) because it handles better than the KZ. I do have a dream bucket list item that is flying back to R.I., buying a nice H.D cruiser and riding up through New England, after completing the "cliff walk" in Newport. Spending a week or so cruisin around in N.E., of course during "bike week" in Laconia, then cruise cross country back home in California.. That trip is for after I retire, still have a couple of years left to get full retirement. What a great trip that would be.
That sounds like so much fun. I actuaally live no more than 20 miles from Laconia. We LOVE biker week up here. It;s such a fun time a a hige boost for the economy
Check out this roller coaster if you get a chance. It's my favorite, if I had to choose a favorite. and I've ridden all kinds. No surprise, though, I've always preferred the Woodies as my favorite type of coaster. :)
"The Voyage" - - at Holiday World amusement park - - in Santa Claus, Indiana, USA
I love how this video is put together - - and I like the song.
"Life Is PERFECT" when I ride this one! :)
EDIT: Got to run again - was here literally only a second I guess - - take care - - be well!
EDIT 2 -- That guy in the pool you posted -- WHEW! ;)

That Roller coaster looks awesome! I love those things, especially the old woodies.
At one time, there was a wooden roller coaster in Revere Massasshusettes called the Cyclone. My dad used to take my brother and I there when were kids. It scared the hell out of me and I'm not sure I was even supposed to be on that thing given how young I was. IIt felt like we would be thrown clear from it! lol
The creaking and popping sounds from it even made it more horrific.
I can not believe I found this on Youtube!!! It's rather sad seeing this.
The Voyage is incredible - - I'd love to ride it with you. And I met the guy in the opening part of this video - - on one of my visits to Holiday World, he and I talked for a while. He was a co-owner of the park or something like that. He was a very friendly and nice guy -- and I found him hot, too. :)
Sadly, I believe this is the same guy who tragically drowned in a swimming pool accident. (I may be wrong but I believe this is the guy.)
This cyclone in Revere looks phenomenal! I'd love it, I know! I assume it no longer exists, based upon the sad music in the video and the images of the coaster looking "out-of-operation."
I try to go to as many local community events as I can and have fun plus have a little laugh at the tourists because they will have to go home and I get to stay here and live in an area that tourist from all over the World flock to. I think my favorite community event is Parkville's sand castle compaction - it's amassing what they can make from a pile of sand. Cheers!
