C 400 GT: North into the Adirondack Park region today

After a weeklong out-of-town vacation, I went for a ride on the C 400 GT today, north to the Adirondack Park region:



Here's a chunk near the top of that (clockwise) loop (1440p, 23 min.):

In another three or four weeks, the leaves should all be turning, at which point I'll have to return to the region (or maybe the Catskills, or both).

Adirondack State Park is the largest in the lower 48 states, six million acres of phenomenal roads for motorcycling. My favorite place to ride.

Bill, my CE 04 serves up trip data for every ride, including lean angles. Feel free to scoff at my recent maximums of 17-degrees left and 10-degrees right.

Keep in mind Florida is flat as a pool table with a grid of mostly straight roads, so there isn't much cause to lean. And overall, I'm a conservative rider favoring smoothness over performance. But based on that data, I'm also like a basketball point guard who can only go to his left -- right leans make me a little uneasy to this day.

Yeah, I've seen some T-shirts, referencing Deals Gap/Tail of the Dragon's 318 turns in 11 miles, that say, "Florida: 11 turns in 318 miles."

Here are some greater leans -- two years ago, on a rental C 400 X (just cosmetic differences vis-a-vis a C 400 GT):
