'banjo's blogtastically stooopid day trippin' picture thread

Thanks guys!


I've been wanting to haul the old beat up DR up to the mountains and ride some seasonal stuff but the weather hasn't really been cooperating with my days off. Actually today turned out to be a really nice day in spite of a forecast for rain, we could use some but only got a trace.

Skies cleared out around noon so I dug the old DR out of the shed and rode it to lunch, just make sure it still ran and all.
















Somebody planted these beautiful maples along the edge of their pasture.

I was in a better mood this week.































This is a repeat from January or something isn't it. s

:dg

'Bout time you got out and rode/posted some pics.

Of course all I've done lately is ride mine to the grocery store & back a few times. Somehow, that just doesn't seem pic-worthy.

Nice maples!

Does that aux windshield on the DR do a pretty good job of keeping the wind blast off your chest at highway speeds?

Shoot Mark, I only rode to lunch!

Thanks...I wish there were more like that around the area. Yes, that shield does a great job! I don't do many hiway miles on that bike anymore but I have in the past...like a couple of rides to Daytona for Bike Week etc.

Hey was this a AMC Javlin?

I had a 1969 Javelin SST as my first car and first sex....

That's what I was thinking....sweet car...in better condition.
(I'd pick the truck between the two of 'em tho)


How was that big KLR adventure through the hurricane and snow...start a report yet?

Sweet!

Hoping to ride a little bit of singletrack tomorrow....

Gaston Gagne's report has been making me jealous!!

bump

guess were he is?

No road shown on the map!
He's hiking!!!

Oofda! That was great!....and I'm whooped! 149 miles on the DR650 and 260 in the Toyota pickup.

I forgot to put new batteries in the camera but managed to get a few shots anyway, including some of advtenn's bike lying on the ground. But who doesn't have some of those?

You might have to wait for 'em though as I may fall asleep before they get uploaded....

I stalked* you for a while.

That thing is pretty 'spotty' out in the woods, eh?




pics gonna have to wait...this screenshot hosted by facebook.

ACK ... hate it when that happens.

Me too...I mean, I knew the pics weren't very good but, so bad that they broke the host on a Tue night? :huh

Things seem to be up and running again though so I'll start off with a few pics from 3 years ago.

This was only the second time that I'd ridden these trails...Nov '09 was the previous trip. The signs at the trailheads were all the same as they were then and since the camera's batteries were showing to be low I figured there was no sense in taking sign pics again.

The signs explain themselves....





...gotta love a pic of a moto with no slash through it.
