Good night all. See you in the morning. I'm shooting for 9:00am at the New Paltz exit gas station. Don't bail on me if I'm a little tarty. Leaving my house at 6:00am hopefully I can get off the Island easily and with no delays. Peace

We got home a little after 9pm, left Sportsman at the hospital w/ his truck. You all get home ok?
Sportsman had a little ditch expedition w/ the ZX14. Looks like he broke his right collar bone. Bike's ok, looks to be all plastic damage & scuffage. I rode it home, mechanically ok, just not too pretty right now.
Let us know when ya get home Sportsman, 'kay?

The 4 ZRX's on the ride:
The falls:
And speaking of "retard factory", we went to the top of the falls where there's no railings, no nothing & were able to get right on the edge & peer down. The stream has polished the rock river bed smooth & it's covered with moss. There were kids (teens & tweens) not 200' above the falls swimming & sliding down the stream. Don't know exactly how high the 1st drop is (found it - 180'), but it's more than enough to pancake ya. Glenno & Keith have some great pics looking over the edge. I'm getting to old & slow, couldn't even get within 10' of the edge. Duc Girl was sitting there, dang near had her feet hanging over. I couldn't even watch, had to walk upstream. And cold sweat over the retards. At least they weren't my retards.Last edited by JBoz; 08-22-2011 at 08:57 AM.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the videos. I am going to try and get back up there (I'm originally from Saugerties) this fall. Do any of ya get together while the leaves are still in color up there?
Oh and did anyone make it up to North or South Lake?
Hope DonBob makes it out alright.Last edited by SAMZRX; 08-22-2011 at 10:48 PM.
