First leg done

["Eric Sheley" <triumphnet@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Arrived in CT yesterday - 1300 miles in 22 hours - not to bad considering I 
was just running and not pushing it trying to set new land speed records. 
Spent a good portion of time early on testing the water handling of the new 
tires. I must say that I was very impressed with the handling of the Dragon 
GTSs. It finally stopped raining in about the Savannah area.

The roads were full of idiots - everybody headed out for the July 4th 
weekend - and I came very near total loss several times. Definitely not a 
weekend to let down your guard..... The biggest offenders were the guys that 
had 30 foot camper trailers tied to the SUVs yet felt as if they were still 
driving a porsche....

The one notable item from the interstate - it cost me almost $20US in tolls 
from Baltimore to NYC - what is up with that ? At one point I went about 15 
miles over no structure that I could see and had to pay a $4 toll....

The CT roads have been great fun - had forgotten what hills looked like.... 
(and felt like....)  :-)))))

BTW - mileage varied from about 45 during the heat of the day to 51 during 
the overnight. I'm not sure if it was the change in the elevation or 
temperature, but there was a definite difference.
