    Thank God for global warming

    Perfect day for riding, stopped by Floyd Bennet Field. The museum is only open on weekends and the aircraft museum only on Tues. Thurs. and Sat. but still was perfect by the water. Supposed to be 79 degrees by Thursday, keep idling those vehicles. If you look at the right side mirror and go straight up from there you'll see JFK Tower, may have to enlarge it.

    Glad you could get out. What’s up with the milk crate?

    I use that on the x-country trips to keep bottles of water in so I can hydrate on the go. I've perfected the art of opening a water bottle with one hand.

    I didn't see that milk crate until it was pointed out. Genious. You have it fastened to the passenger foot peg I presume?

    You are correct, two velcro straps. And when I'm not doing long distance I just throw stuff in there so I don't have to open the saddlebag. Six pack fits perfectly.

    does that rear camera come off when you park? Seems like as easy item for a thief to grab.

    It does, it's an Akaso brand, GoPro knock off, but I don't take it out of the case when I park. I'm betting that NYC thugs are too stupid to figure it out, and so far I'm correct. Actually, that is a second rear camera, the first one is under the MP3 Rack, which is part of the front/rear camera system. Having been slammed from the rear you can't have enough video evidence.

    Don’t underestimate NY thugs. My son lived and studied in Brooklyn for 3 years, Clinton Hill. During his brief stay in hell, he lost 2 bikes, got his truck damaged in a H&R, and lost 1000’s in videography equipment when thugs broke into his rental truck. Shit that never even got close to happening in his previous 25 years in FloriDuh. I guess he had naive Keys kid written all over him. The only thing he enjoyed more than getting his Masters, was leaving Brooklyn. Not disparaging your choices of course...

    Hey, no one knows it's liberal $hithole more than me. Unfortunately, these crimes have not/are not prosecuted for the longest time so the thugs are more brazen, they know they'll be out, no bail, no charges. Soros' little puppets Alvin "the eggman" Bragg and Latesha "the Walrus" James couldn't prosecute the former lesbian, Mrs. DeBlasio, who made $800,000,000 disappear with no accounting where it went, however, they were able to go after a former president for a misdemeanor that expired. (BTW Barack Obama's presidential library costs $800,000,000-hmmm). People are fleeing this, like other one-party Democrat ratholes, at record speed...to Florida.
