Seems Like Something Is Missing . . . .


Apparently not everyone in the world thinks every photo is improved by the addition of a motorcycle . . . . I can accept that, and I do have pictures from yesterday that don't have a KLR 650 in them. . . . :o)

In my defense, I've always been consistent about "enhancing" the scenery by parking whatever I'm riding at the time in the frame. And looking at all those pictures brings the day's riding flooding back in a rush; I have a favorite picture I look at from time to time that shows 4 motorcycles lined up in front of a little motel in upstate New York. When I see that picture that day comes back to me, the country breakfast in the tiny motel diner, the cool of the morning as we wound through balsalm pine forests, no traffic on the road, riding in sync as brothers, me on a V-Star and my brother on his Gold Wing, our concentration dialed in tight we rounded a corner and emergency braked in unison as a deer bounded across our lane. . . . I miss our riding times bro, can't wait for your visit next summer! And someday soon we'll both be out of the rat race, retired and living in the same town again, every day an opportunity to ride to Big G's for breakfast, pick up Dad, and head for the coast for the day . . . .

:o) Another day of beautiful pictures! It's raining here, so this is definitely the right way to start the day.

Hey Steve - have you seen any of our famous DC boats yet? They should all be up there! Less than a week away for the start of the season!

Bro
When I see the pictures of your bike in the scenery without the goldwing beside it- or the twin Kawasaki 440's I know that something is missing. Can't wait to ride again. It was almost 65 and sunny yesterday.

I love when you include the bike. By the amount of grime on the tires and body, I can tell what kind of trip it was to get there. :) - Carla
