It's an incredible contribution to keep inmates interested in this website.  I must say as well I only think in going to USA when I think of surfing in California during fall time (to much hassle to get a visa). But motorcycle adventure start to get me thinking of going there some day too.  This could be interesting: riding some of this awesome places I've been seeing on your ride reports and ride some waves at the end of the trip! 
Anyways, congratulations, thank you and keep the mirrors up. Cheers,
Arjones.
P.S.: since it seems you like good photographs  , I think you would like to check this out http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=832590 . This guy shoots some great photos as well. |
Oh yes. I already spotted that RR, but thanks for the heads up. His style reminds me I need to take the time to shoot scenes with me riding through it. I've done this a little with the in-camera intervolometer, but when putting down so many miles, it's hard to set the camera up for multiple passes. I hope you get the chance to visit someday.

Those roads, the colors, amazing.
I never understood why that bike wasn't more popular, perhaps it was becasue not enough people got to ride them?
you'll have that bike broken in pretty soon. 30, 40K more miles and should hit its sweet spot.

Hi Ian. I think the bike is even getting close to its first valve inspection.
I hope she remains such a fun and reliable bike. IMO, there hasn't been a better SPORT-tourer made since. Thanks!

Hi DK. Horseshoe Bend is only a few miles south of Page. The turnoff and dirt parking lot is marked. There was a hike over a hill in mostly sand. The sign said the hike was 1/4 mile, but I swear it was closer to 1/2 miles each way. It is an impressive and HUGE view. I was only able to capture it with an 8mm Fisheye lens. I tried a 16 mm lens held vertically and stitched into a pano and still couldn't get it all in well.
I converted this fisheye shot into a B&W with PicMonkey
