TOPIC:

Stoner's "Out on the Road" posting and Jim's comment about enjoying the scenery in distant lands spoke to me. How about a "Ride Pics" thread?
I took a ride a couple of years ago that stopped at Lake Billy Chinook and then went through Maupin and finally back to Bend.
These pics are of Mt Jefferson from the East edge of the lake rim.

Nice pictures, always like looking at photos of different countries country side as I don't get time to travel and see for myself

Ride Pic's thread would be a good idea for me too. With the spread of owners on this site from all over the world, might get to see things I probably never get to in person. And I'll do the same- I have a good HD camera - see where it goes.

Great idea regarding the Ride Pics, Bill. Those of yours are wonderful: amazing sky, interesting cloud formation (always fascinating to me) and views to infinity. Would have been nice to see your bike in the foreground of at least one, though! You obviously have a good camera, and an eye for composing a good shot.
Changing the subject, I notice one of the many motorcycles in your fleet is a KZ750 B4, a parallel twin. These are quite rare. What is your opinion of the engine?
I just remembered: the first Isle of Man TT race was this afternoon, I must see what the results are. The world's most exciting motor bike racing, to my mind!

Hi Jim,
I like my 750 twin pretty well. The engine has plenty of grunt down low and mid range but runs out of steam in the top end.



Back to ride pics.

One thing I insist that the wife does while we're out is shoot bar shots, not talking about alcohol, just pics, over my shoulder, through the wind screen.
What do you think of these?
