Default My first 100+ mile ride...

Friend of mine, who owns a harley had his bike in pieces working on replacing the handlebars, so he borrowed his brothers sport bike. I think its an R6.

Anyway, he's been riding forever, and I'm the noob so he thought he'd show me the nice rides of Long Island.

We started at my place and rode to breakfast at IHOP in Commack. My girlfriend drove her friend who took a few pics of us on the way. After breakfast we hit the Sag North, exit on Pulaski East and rode north to Kings Park Bluffs. Took some shots there. From there he took me to 25A West, passed a place called the Shack which had a TON of bikes parked outside, but we just ate so we kept going. Rode that to Oyster Bay. Stopped in the harbor, took a few shots. Continued down to Bayville by the scream park and beach. Pics. Back down to Glen Cove Road to the Meadowbrook, to Ocean Parkway, and finished up the stops at Gilgo (I think that's what its called). Rode home after that. All in all, had an absolute blast! Only one close call and it was on his, some civic on the Meadowbrook decided to just come over into his lane. Looked damn close from where I was sitting but it turned out ok luckily.

I need a new seat lol.
