Anyone in or near the Hudson valley that would be interested in getting together for a ride to compare their street fighter to my Zh2. The motojournalists are taking forever. Would be a whole lot of fun to have some other supermarkets join in.

I'm almost always down to get supernaked with someone on the internet, and though I'm close by, I still haven't taken delivery on my standard model SF. Can certainly reevaluate after that point, though. Where in the Hudson valley are you thinking?

I’m in Red Hook and have a “Dutchess TT” route of almost 120 miles with about 4 stop signs and 2 traffic lights, basically non-stop turns. Happy to share the map if you want, my bike is track only during the summer but ride the same route in the spring/fall.

Do you use Google MyMaps? I can share some maps I have as KML/KMZ/GPX et al.

Heya Z, was just trying my fingers at mapping it out, I think I got it all.
Hopefully you can open that link, basically start just north of Red Hook, I dare say these are the smoothest roads in the area. I keep trying to add different routes but end up with ...... pavement. The beginning has a mix of 35-55-45mph roads, once you get over the Taconic it goes to 45-55mph. The southern loop has a bit of residential mixed in with farms, be respectful of any horses and riders! I don't speed (much) through these, maybe +5-10mph max, but I don't slow down for the turns, I do this same route (alternate direction each ride) so I know where all the hidden driveways are, trees that drop slippery leaves and nuts, and where all the sharp turns are. The drivers in the area are pretty cool, 4 out of 5 will just slow down and wave you by as long as you don't roll up on them like a squid. Takes me 2:15h to do the loop with no stopping, enjoy!

That's a pretty nice looking route. I like it best on the other side of the Hudson, but that certainly adds time to the trip. Of course, there really aren't all that many ways through the Catskills, so making the ride there interesting keeps it fresh, I suppose.
