  • Two-Forks Long Island Run 5/16

    My Brother Rob just picked up a 2010 Bonneville T100 and he needed to 'break it in' so of course I offered to 'help'

    Gotta love the retro style combined with modern engineering. I've always been fond of the Bonnies and I've lusted after them as long as I can remember. The 865 cc's give it a bit more punch than the old 750's though.

    Rob connected with this group called 'Long Island Riders' on the web at meetup.com. I tagged along on a ride a couple of weeks ago and they were a good bunch, so I organized this Two-Forks run. It's a fun scenic and twisty one that my bro an I have done a few times.

    The weather was perfect and traffic was light. After an obligatory stop at 'The Big Duck' we proceeded to lunch in Greenport at the marina, which was PACKED with bikes, then onto the North Ferry to Shelter Island. At the South end of the Island we hopped the South Ferry to Sag Harbor for an ice cream break, then West and home. About 140 mi ride.

    We WILL be doing this again, so anyone in the area keep an eye out for the next one and join in.

    Nice one, Randy! Say, what's that red-lookin' antique bike in the pics with all the modern cruisers and squid bikes?

      Randy...This looks like a great ride through my childhood home area...I have not been back on the island since about 1985...so if I was up there I'd join you on this run.Your brother's Triumph looks pretty cool too...there is something about a bike that you can see its motor!

        Hey, Ben. Yeah, the riding here is pretty flat, but if you stick to the shore points it makes for some scenic runs. Funny, between Rob's Bonnie and my XS, the other guys couldn't figure out which one was the older

          Now thats funny...Yeah there are parts of Long Island that have some hills but its mostly flat....I was born in New Hyde park and grew up in Huntington.
