yessirs; I am in the northwest corner of NJ, in the 'highlands' as it is called...

picked the bike up to use on the front hitch of my dodge cummins while I have the camper on it...
I'm going to try one of the $90 ones from eBay.



Also like to take it to 'events'; -I offroad a geared, built, locked Samurai...
(old camper)

Love your Zuk! I've been looking for an old tin top for awhile, but they all have cancer.

Great pics, you live in a beautiful place.

Ever make it up to Space Farms? Are they still in operation?

I spent a lot of time in Newton, I had a girlfriend from there.

Some awesome memories!

Actually had the occasion to drive by there on a CL mission!

Space Farms is a really neat place. Always struck me sad though as they don't seem to have the resourses to take (in my opinion) good enough care of their animals and car/motorcycle collections .

Interesting story on how it got started during the Depression.

Lots of good motorcycle roads in your area, especially on out to Port Jervis, High Point, and a little section of road on the Delaware River called The Eagles Nest, IIRC. :P

Summer weekends you would think it's the only place in the world to run a MC; SO many people come up here to ride...

:roll:

I grew up in Bergen county; this is Passaic County, next one to the west.
Lakes, woods, fireroads, and a lot of protected 'highlands'...

Have to remind myself I'm still in the most densly populated state in the nation.
(well sometimes...)

thanks for the warm welcome/kind words...

I'm grateful to live in what has to be one of the least densly populated areas with a city big enough for a complete medical system for me to work.

Any more populated I'd not like it, and less populated I'd have a hard time earning a living.

I mis-remembered, it's been a while and I've ridden in 49 states...

It's the Hawk's Nest. You gotta check it out, in about 5 months...

We're happy you joined us, Ecoast. When you have time, and the winter weather departs, please post some photographs of your bike in it's native habitat.
