Well as an Irish National im not a fan of other peoples wasting food for childhood games while my ancestor;s starved to death because the food the grew was stolen from them only to be wasted with stupid toys.

The ones made in Japan were the good ones!

Up in New Hampshire USA Mt. Washingtons Auto Road closes during Laconias bike week to allow only motorcycles, I got a good weather report so i went up this year on my trusty old 1988 GTR 1000. These are some pics and vids from the trip.

It was all highway till I got to Fraconia Knotch NH,

Its just like any other New England back road at first, then you get out of the trees at higher elevations.
