Pic of the week game

[Burque73]

Funny you should mention that, Steve. The balloon fiesta started yesterday but the wind took the balloons North from where I was. Maybe next weekend I can get some pics of them.

We tend to somewhat avoid the area (if we remember to) but it's such a spectacular sight we still go at least one morning out of the 10 day event. I got stuck in the evening event traffic (balloon glow) after taking a careless turn yesterday on the bike. Sitting, waiting, squeeze clutch and half release then squeeze again ... What a traffic mess. Four lanes at a dead stop. I made it to the shoulder and hopped onto the sidewalk (in front of four cops gulp) and turned around. No pedestrians in sight and the police said nothing. The KLX handles like a bicycle compared to the 850. Anyway, after heading back West away from the balloon park I cut back through the north valley and was on my way.

It's funny how the bike's colors sort of blend into the background colors in the last couple of photos. If I had waited another week, the green would be turning to yellow. Bob, your is a great shot!

This pic is from the rugged northeast corner of Lake Superior. Like the "spiritual" theme, what is unseen in it is the intoxicating experience of riding solo, 3 days out, settled comfortably on a perfectly tuned bike on an empty, twisting, rising, falling highway, drinking in the in-the-moment sensations of scenery, cool misty valleys and crisp sunny higher higher elevations. It was about being alive.

This picture was taken during the Ice Burg rally at Sandy's. Not sure where exactly, but I was captivated by the peak behind Suzie Q. I put a little over 2,000 miles on her that trip.

A high totem pole complete with an eagle sitting on top. There are a lot of eagles in the heart of the city. A few years ago one scooped a steak off of the plate beside my barbecue on the balcony........

One of my favorite mountain vistas in this area. Probably the best I'll get this week.

Higher power? Blessing of the GS from on high?

I know I've said it here before, but I know for a fact that Jesus would ride a 1981 Suzuki GS 1000 GL.

"Why's that?" you ask.

"I'll tell you," I say.

Suzuki GS code for 1981 is the letter X. X is the first letter of the Greek word Christ.
GS obviously means "God's Son"
1000 is ten times ten times ten... a trinity of a perfect number.
And GL of course means "God's Love."

Irrefutable and indisputable.
