anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

No pictures, but gave two of the kids a ride today around the block; about had a tractor trailer decide he wanted my lane more than I did when he turned down the road I was on. Fortunately, the horn woke him up enough to stop so I could move out of his way. Though trying to pull out before he turned was out of the question, I need to do a better job of deciding how I'm going to get out of those situations when I have a passenger.
^that's a really nice pic of the connie justin.
tonight mrs. eli and i stopped at letchworth park after a nice day of riding western ny. i took this picture of my bike in front of the middle falls. the falls are lit up for a couple hours after dark. i had to use the flash to get the bike in the picture but i also took one without flash so the falls are easier to see.

I sourced a DL1000 seat from Ebay for cheap and went out for a test ride...on road and off road. Wider, flatter and a good improvement over the stock DL650 seat. Every time I look on CL for another GS I take the vStrom out and lose any desire to swap rides now.
1st gear crawls over the rocky stuff and small logs coming up on this wood road....
And then on to where there isn't a road....
This was the second group of turkeys blocking the dirt roads. I came across five deer too, but they were kind enough to stay off on the side of the road.

Got my 86' DR600 Dakar up and running perfectly today so of course I needed to get her into the dirt. Also it was the first time at top highway speeds, rode perfectly on both.
had an absoulute blast and am in love with the bike. Can't wait for the first big trip!

Very cool bike....if I wanted to take it a little further into the back woods. But I don't want to give up the comfort of my paved riding, a 6th gear for top end, 300+ tank range, and most of all the comfort of 2 up riding with my wife. I could push my vStrom some more into the rougher stuff with a set of TKC80 tires but if I make a mistake I don't want the challenge of picking up a 500lb bike in the middle of nowhere. Besides my riding is at least 80% on road so life is a trade off and I go with what suits me for now....bbbbuuuttt, I wouldn't mind trading bikes for a day if you were closer!! Maybe if I get out there someday??
Beautiful pics of the Fall colours.
Love seeing those road signs with lots of curvy lines on them.

Me, I needed to rest all day.

Looks like the Skyline Drive. I was there on the vStrom last month and then did all of the Blue Ridge Parkway too. Great ride. We camped in that park and had our black bear encounter.

It is Skyline Drive. I took a solo day trip before the temperature dropped. It's a beautiful ride and a great place to camp.
I feel like a third of the times I'm there I have a black bear cross my path.
