So on Monday in the States it was the country's Independence Day, so I went for a ride 10 hours and 130 miles completed the day.
I started off to meet my buddy Matt, who also bought a CCW tha Heist and modeled his after mine, after I replaced my rear light back to the stock one.

Once that was done I started on my 20 mile trek to his place to pick him up and a quick stop for a coffee and a quick bite for breakfast then the real ride began.
We headed up Rt 23 to the Sussex County Fairgrounds and stopped off for a few pics
Took my Heist down to the grass

From there we hit the road again and found a side road about 45 minutes later, that was more of an off road than anything and we needed to stop and take a few pics

We took this road further down and found a field with these two structures sitting there and Matt and I both parked at opposite ends and took some pics

The field was a few acres and we road around it for a bit. From there we were parched and needed to get a drink and high tailed it to a Biker Pub i knew not too far away about 20 miles. We stayed there and had a drink and hung out for an hour and half then went back to Matt's place, where we checked over the bikes and I continued on my own and stopped snapped a few pics at a scenic overlook

End of the day well over 200 km of just taking it easy
