No big mega-mileage days, no high speed riding, but the four of us just got back from a family vacation to Bar Harbor, Maine. Cathy and me 2-up on the C-14 plus Jen and Johnnie on their bikes.

Leaving home

2nd morning- leaving from motel- halfway there, all on back roads

The payoff- inside the National Park on the park "Loop" road. Newly paved

Great views. Cathy is improving on her pictures while moving technique

Yeah, not too busy with tourists

The views were great, pictures don't do it justice

Sunset on Cadillac Mountain

On the way home we stopped at the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and took the elevator up to the observatory

All in all, a fun few days at the coast and great riding. Both "the kids" (20 and 22 y.o.) have done trackdays and have become confident and safe riders.

Really great to see the that family together for a bike trip. Was it hard to convince the "kids" to go, or are they very attached to the parents/bikes? Laughing

Just perfect. Congratulations! Wink

Neither Jen nor Johnnie live at home anymore but we are a "close" family and they both love riding. Wasn't very hard to convince them to go.
