First season with the Nighthawk, recap

I put the Nighthawk into storage for the winter today.  Sad day.  It was an epic season of riding though!  With about 4,800 miles put on the bike since May, I had some fun.  Here's a recap and some highlights:

Road eaten: approx. 4,800 miles

States traveled through: PA, NJ, NY

Top Speed: 111mph

Hottest temp ridden: 93degrees + sunny

Coldest temp ridden: 33degrees + 75mph = (feels like) 13degrees

Lanes changed with no-hands: 1

Destinations hit:  Longwood Gardens, Dan’s bday party in Hudson, NY, Tara’s music festival in NJ, Delessandro’s cheesesteaks, Fairmount Park, Rutgers, Rocco’s BBQs, south Philly.

Bests:  The end of the ride to Dan’s party.  Kelly Drive & MLK drive.  Coming back into the city on a warm summer night.  Feeling like Batman flying back to the city, the only one on the road in the middle of the night.  Free parking in my secret spot!(It’s not as epic as a BatCave, but I like it).

Worsts:  The night before I first picked the bike up from the shop was one of the most scared I've ever been!  People texting while driving, especially in traffic.  Traffic in general, squeezing the clutch.  Having the bike towed to the shop just to find out that the only problem was that I ran out of gas.
