Rode yesterday and grabbed some cool shots in my local neighborhood.

Went into work yesterday 35' at my house at 5:45AM and was SUPPOSED to warm up and chanse of showers...

Temp dropped and we got snow... But I still went for a 50 mile ride after work. Most roads were ok but the mistake I made was to go around the back side of Lake Dunmore...

Half way through the ride the snow started to come down and the roads slowly started to accumulate....
The Triumph just tanking along.

The roads were getting bad as I closed in on Lake Dunmore (on my way home from work)... I had to pull over and "feel" with my foot which road was less icy, ended up taking a left at the intersection. (Both roads were completely covered...

This was an old boarding house built in the late 1800's. It's now a store front and an apartment building in Salisbury Vermont.

As soon as I hit the lake I could tell I was going to be in for a slow Snowy ride but man look at that view. A snow squall kissing the Green Mountains (also the road I needed to take to get home). Had well over an inch on the ground by the time I got to back side of the lake. It's just a gorgeous time of the year here in Vermont.

Glad I'm finally coming into time to share these stories! Work is slowing down.... Finally.

I got the DT125 running (again) the carb was full of water!!! I plan on taking that out tomorrow... My 19 day vacation starts tomorrow at 5PM.

Yeah Said I was insane and looking for a death wish... Something along those lines, truthfully it was sketchy and intense but man I haven't felt that alive in a LONG time! ;)
 
Got some errands done.
45 degF this afternoon.
Has rained since last salting of the roads.
GK still in front of garage (not put away in far back corner).

Have not been out in 6 weeks.
That is just not right!
Time to go for ride!

Stopped at boat ramp park on the river. Docks pulled out,... and they removed the metal transition plate ramps, .. wonder why...cant get bike onto the ramp...

>>later note
By time got home, after dark, the idle started to hang at about 1500 then would climb to about 2000 (with little power)... I know what that means - again.
And both my driving spot lights quit.
Add those to the slobbering fork seals (again- 1 1/2 season), the low compression, and the oil burning - - all makes me think I should have a good winter work garage-shop place, or should have years ago.

These are the first bike pictures I've taken with the 35mm f1.8 lens I got last week for my a6000 and am really happy with the results. Also I just got the notice from flickr that they're capping the free option with 1000 pictures. Going to have to pay $3.54 a month now to upload...

Can you delete the ones you don't like and keep it under 1000?

I haven't looked into it a ton yet but I believe so, yes. I hate to fall into their ploy but am probably going to end up buying it. Half of the reason being so that I can keep posting pictures on here and be able to find pictures easily and remotely. Either that or until then I'll just be uploading my entire photo library...
 
Christmas ride today. As it was sunny,I asked my wife if we needed anything for Christmas dinner tonight. She mentioned we probably could use some gherkins, so a GREAT excuse for a ride. The store was about a 1/4 mile down the street, so I went in the opposite direction, for about 40 miles. When I got back to my bike after my purchase, I thought to myself that it was rather strange that nobody complimented me on my bike, as it always happens, (yeah, yeah, I know. Mr. big head). Sure enough, a guy came out of the store and said, "BEAUTIFUL bike. I had to take a picture of it to show my buddy who has a 900 Kawi and would appreciate it." I thanked him. I don't have to tell most of you this, I'm sure it happens to you too. :rolleyes:

After opening presents and a great breakfast I went out for a spin. Went into town and around Dallas Rd...lots of people walking, riding bikes and golfing. Man I love living here!







Victoria Golf course...oldest club in Canada on it's original site...1873 I think...out Pebble Beach. :)

Just open a second free Flickr account using a different e-mail address. I just did that myself.

Great to see the other Victorians out and about but even more so of a bike wearing Massachusetts plates! :applause:
 
Beautiful shots Gents!

Sam, I take your comment as you're using an old school manual lens on a digital camera?

It's a new lens made for my (digital) camera but old school in the sense that it's prime meaning no zoom. It has autofocus but also a manual focus ring. Huge improvement from the kit lens and I wish I had done this a year ago!

Hadn't even thought to do that hah! I use flickr quite a bit so the convenience of having all of the pictures in one place is nice. On the other hand I hate paying for things I don't have to...
 
Cool, thanks. I just got a digital camera as a Christmas gift. I've barely scratched the surface as far as learning it's features, but I do love it so far.
