Hawks Nest always makes for a fun ride. Here's a pic I took a couple months ago while I was there on the Busa...

Nice pic Eddie, thanks for posting it. I didn't really get a good shot of the curves. Amazing how fast you can go through there, the curves appear to be tighter than they actually are. Beautiful spot.

Telephoto lens will do that,,, compress space.
We have a couple roads around here like that,,, look real tight in a photo but not when you're riding them.
Still looks like fun!

First snow that actually stuck. Time to get a knobby for the back.

There's a new "beast" in the garage that just got it's road papers yesterday. You might be seeing this from time to time in this thread. Say hello to my new '84 Honda Elite 125. Looks pretty nasty next to that Chinese 125 dirtbike eh?

Top speed 55mph WOT.

Still riding almost daily but don't do much more than commute to work. Here's an iPhone pic at work.

Stopped for a quick photo op on the way to work this morning...

I've been looking for this type cultivator for EVER!

( I own the tractor it goes on )

Any chance the property owner is reachable

Its a shame that heartless scrappers are gobbling up all this good stuff....

Man, I haven't got a clue. I suppose I could stop at a neighbors house and ask. I think I remember where it is. They've got all kinds of junk laying around there.

Interesting ride home from work last night. My rear Shinko 705 sucks in the snow, barely made it up the last hill slipping and sliding all the way home.

Debated on riding in this morning but decided why not, the roads were just wet with slush in the intersections. Just beat the sleet that started when I pulled into the parking lot at work.

Gotta get a knobby on the rear!

Yep, that's what I had on last year and they did the job, lasted too. I'll be putting those on again I think.
I have a 700 on the front and that does fine so maybe I'll just replace the rear.
