anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[1948man]

Rode a little over 150 miles today with my brother on his 1300 VStar. Our usual breakfast adventure. Took some pics. I am the worst photographer in the world. I need to pay more attention to what I am doing and frame a good shot. I use a smart phone and can barely see the screen when outside. I'm sure there is a well-known solution for this that is not well-known to me. Gainesville Fl to the Dixie Grill in Live Oak fl via the long way and then return home a different way. GREAT BREAKFAST. River pics are of the Suwannee River.

The Scott river is a bit green from last weeks rain.

Another of the Scott river. These two are "Crappy Cellphone Pictures". A bit of an experiment on these.

New bridge on the Klamath river.

Another warm day 15c and clear. 170k ride over a couple of hours. Nice to stretch the legs ( arms). I saw flowers yesterday. Hang in there New England.

Nice pics Charlie, thanks for sharing. Your bike's looking good.

Wow Dave! That looks great. How do you like the bike?

Hi Greg.
Yes the ride Friday (and pics) was great.

But the ride I did today greatly surpasses that, and surpasses maybe even Texas Hill Country, to make it the best I have ever ridden.
No pics as I was riding with a group (San Diego BWM Owners. Today they had a special group ride for "New Owners and Visitors".)

Bike is great. Was several things that took a while to get used to, and some things am still working on.
But overall, the bikes capabilities are wasted on me.
I was barley keeping up with the guy ahead of me most of the times and other times I just dropped back, then when I did catch up to him, I could not even see those ahead of him. We caught up to them and they were standing on side of road off the bikes. This happened multiple times. (can PM more later).

I have two remaining occasions that I can go for ride here. I intend to go back to some of the places. Intned to have photos on that occasion.

Great photo's Charlie, sounds actually warm..nice. Trevor and I got out for a 'bit' of a ride today, 650 kms approximately up to Tofino and back, GREAT ride today. The road from Port Alberni to Tofino is a blast. Kennedy lake I think, half way to Tofino.

Up in Tofino, beautiful day today.

I think we're going to have a good spring.

Great batch of pictures guys! Dave, im glad you're having a good time in Ca, and enjoying the new ride.

Looks like you guys had a good ride! How was the road from Port Alberni to Tofino? Last time I rode that, there were frost heave cracks in the pavement that looked like they could swallow your front tire! Yes, that is Kennedy Lake on your way to the West Coast. Sunshine in Tofino... what a concept!

The road was pretty good Glenn but the road going into Tofino had some pretty major pot holes marked by orange cones. We had our Senas on and yelling "Cone" become somewhat of a laugh. Your ears must have been burning Glenn because we remarked several times how you would have loved the ride and that we missed you.

AZR, Great photos.
Good pics of road and the bikes.
Appears that you went to some effort to find a good location, park bikes with concern for how appear in photo along with scene in background... all which means that probably had to consider all that when initially finding a good location.

Which is what I am intending to do today.

Not much effort here redman. Just pull over and take a picture. We are truly blessed.

Hey Charlie... You do realize BC stands for British California right ? Hell we've even got California palm trees......LOL

 

[trevor]

Not really Charlie....I shouldn't have to tell you that it really stands for "Bring Cash"...and lots of it!

That's right so stay away. Just pulling over to take a photo just sort of sums it up. If you do however happen to stray out of site of the motorcycles you could be subjected to to more ugly stuff. And Tofino had only 2 days in the last year with no rain. The day Trevor and AZR were there and the day my wife and friends were there.

Like having to just sit on the beach.

Or rent some kayaks.

Oops... I forgot about that. Welcome to Whistler.
I'll have to make you one of my caesar martinis. { shaken not stirred }
