In 1993, after finishing college, my friend Chris and I rode across the US by bicycle. Just south of Hite, Utah he took this picture of me. The picture has been in my Dad's attic for about 15 years, the last time I saw it. Last week while riding through the same area with my mate Chris, though a different Chris, I remembered that picture and tried to recreate it. Not too bad considering how long it's been since I last saw the pic, can't have been more than a mile or two out. The ride may have changed, but the spirit remains the same.
The photos take awhile to load, but then click on them to see then and now: http://www.theguardian.com/artandde...y-landings-scenes-in-1944-and-now-interactive

1984: 2014: Pumpback Reservoir, Salina, Oklahoma. 25 years old on my '78 RM 400 and 55 years old on my '09 DR 650.
I bought a new 1974 R90S back in late '73 but had to sell it in '76. In 2014 I found another one: Story here.
Thank you for your responses. "Then" and "now" was in these photos be a metaphor. On the first picture the old, eternal mountains with contemporary built road. In the second picture rape flowers, symbolizing the eternal work of farmers with modern built motorcycle. And the third picture eternally existing sea with modern built bridge. But maybe you're right, maybe these pictures were not a good idea. If so, please admin to get them removed.
