    Today’s journey to creepy abandoned places led me to a place in my own county. The Alvira Ammo Bunkers. Apparently some are open and you can explore the insides. I’ll have to revisit when I’m better dressed for a hike.






    On the return route, I found this interstate underpass to take a break from the sun, which turned out to be a rural dead-end/driveway. Pic-worthy, though.

      Survived 115 minutes of track time @ the Ridge Motorsports Park yesterday. I was a bit hot, 90 when I left.

Went for another short ride in the 38c and it sounded perfect this time and all the exhaust pipes shot the same temp so I think the airbox fight was worth it.
        Nice! I hate taking carbs off any of my GS’s

          Been going out for morning rides 2-3-4 days a week, and evening rides 2-3 days a week.

          Morning rides often include a walk on the pier.
          THis morning got a parking space with good pose for picture.

          (yah, maybe you have seen somewhat similar pic before.)

          Am quite glad and thankfull to be able to do such.

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                  Thanks Steve, being originally from SW Ontario I have fond memories of seeing Wolf exhausts and always wanted one....

                      A fine crisp winter's day (Southern Hemisphere) and a place I haven't visited in years. Waiwera beach, on the Hibiscus Coast north of Auckland, New Zealand. It used to be on the main state highway north, before the motorway was built. Used to have a water park pool complex as it is a thermal spring, but a Russian oligarch and a dude from Las Vegas bought it and ran it into the ground. The complex is now no more. So it's a quiet backwater, but still as pretty as a picture.

                        Finally got out today for a couple hours. Been weeks, what with Amy's surgery, and constant rain or heat...And it felt good.
                        Got sprinkled on a bit, and had to stop for lunch to let a big rain come through.

                            Not today, but yesterday!

                            Took a little trip to ride the infamous "triple nickel" in southeast Ohio. It was definitely worth the trip! I rode parts of it 3 times!

                                As you know, there aren't a lot of areas to pull over and take care of business on that road. That little bridge seemed like a safe spot to "water the grass"!

                                I'm all in on making that area a yearly must-ride! I rode a few other roads on the windy9, but they pale in comparison to 555, IMHO!
