And here's a better look at E-Bear's ride on this adventure,
which is actually another bike from T-Bear's eclectic collection:

And here's a look at one of E-Bear's cameras:

E-Bear is a gifted photographer, shoots motosports, mostly (he's never met an umbrella girl he didn't like ). This rig, which makes my little Nikon P&S look like a Cracker Jacks toy, is one of his "go-to's" when he's on prowl for a photo (which is pretty much all the time). Man, that's some pretty fast glass.

Tomorow morning, after we fry a bunch of brain cells around the campfire tonight, we three are going riding on the Parkway.
I was quickly to discover that when one of your riding buddies looks like a cross between ZZ Top and a Keebler elf and rides an even uniquer-looking motor, you might as well be invisible.
E-Bear, it seems, has the same problem when he rides with his brother.

If you're familiar with "The Long Way Round," you know where this is all going...

So this is the thanks Denise and I get for opening our hearts and home to the Bear Bro's tonight, plying them with thick steaks and even thicker beer:

I tell ya, the nerve of some people! E-Bear pissed us off so bad I chopped his head off!!

Tomorrow we ride.

Saturday dawned absolutely gorgeous!

Grabbing (literally) some Vitamin D:

"Hey boyz, go find yer own wench!!"

And we're off to Mabry Mill!

Note the GoPro cam that Claudio, oops, I mean E-Bear, is running on the right pannier - he's always taking photographs...

And here's a good look at Ewan, oops, I mean T-Bear, at speed:

And moi? Just call me Charley!

Here's Claudio, workin' the Mill, fighting a much-too-late-in-the-day sun and
way too many leaf-peepin' touristas (just like us!), but still angling for the photo:
