Post your one day ride photo.....

[BigSkyRider]

I thought it would be great if we could see your one day ride photo.
The rule, well not rule but suggestion is to post just one photo of a ride you took TODAY, not a photo of a ride you took last week or two months ago.

I'll get it started:

I live in Bozeman, Montana and today we had a little thaw, so it looked good to head out for a ride. I headed up highway 86 and made the hot coco turn at Bridger Ski Bowl after watching the crowd slip slide down the hill. My photo was taken this morning just before leaving with the Bridger Mountain range in the background and the temperature at a sunny, balmy 22 degrees F. The forecast is for more snow tomorrow...yikes!

Cheers!

That bike is way way way to clean.

No ride pic for me to post. Bike still in the shop. This was this morning though.

Great Kiddo, Bowzer pic.....
The bike is so clean because it has been hanging out in the garage most of the winter.
I've had "Remy" since it's birth in 2,000 and he now has 92K on the meter.

[rocketman]

moved thread here since it seems more photo oriented.

And again Welcome BigskyRider! Indeed a very clean bike, I don't think either of mine have been that clean EVER! Ha Ha!

You can always sit on the bike in the garage (or whereever, living room, kitchen, bedroom) and go Zaroom Zaroom, Sreeeech, Clink Clink (while in full gear, of course, or in your jammies for that matter) and then take a photo


just blurr out the background and who's gonna know?:laugh

I went for a ride on Saturday afternoon. I washed the bike for the second time this winter, and she was all wet and pretty afterwards, so she needed a ride to dry off and show off the clean paint, metal, rubber and plastic.

I headed east from my house in south Snohomish county to I-405. I-405 was ridden southbound for a bit until I came to SR 522, which I took east to Woodinville. I took the Woodinville-Duvall Road to Duvall, and then headed north on SR 203 to Monroe. In Monroe, I stopped for photos at the Lewis Street Park along the banks of the Skykomish River.

http://dvandkq.net/images/20080223-020.jpg

After leaving Lewis Street Park, I retraced my route back to Duvall. Instead of heading west along the Woodinville-Duvall Road, I crossed the Snoqualmie River and then headed south along the west side of the river until I reached the Novelty Hill Rd. I took the Novelty Hill Road up and over Novelty Hill and Redmond Ridge to the Avondale Rd, which I took north to 124th St. NE. 124th St. NE took me back to I-405 for the short ride on the slab back to south Snohomish county.

After spending 6 hours listening to the drone of a bunch of suits during the New Employee Orientation for my new job I really needed to clear my head and when I stepped outside it was 71 Degrees! Oh Yeah! Time for a ride! Since the HQ was near 66 that heads straight west toward Blue Ridge the choice of destinations was obvious.
A quick buzz down 66 got me to one of my favorite roads, namely Old Route 55. After wondering around for a bit I came across a road I hadn’t explored so I hung a quick left of 55 and after around a 100 feet of pavement I found myself looking a steep uphill grave road that disappeared around a sharp righthander. After debating for moment if I wanted to tackle a twisty gavel road on the Autobasu (Highway Pig) I figured what the f… the GPS SAID it went thru so at least I wouldn’t have to worry about wrestling the beast in one-lane gravel turn-a-round (or so I hoped!) I headed up the road. Good choice as it turned out.

Most of these were tough to shoot since I was shooting into a setting sun under a clear sky....

The Road…

A nice rock wall around an old cemetery..

At the far end of the road was a nice old house circa 1860

http://roadrunes.com/images3/march03-ride/house-1-web.jpg

I wound up near another favorite road that goes thru another small town called Aldie where there is a nice little lake with a “Swan Crossing” sign across the road..

http://roadrunes.com/images3/march03-ride/swan-web.jpg

An old tree stub by the lake…

http://roadrunes.com/images3/march03-ride/tree-1-web.jpg

And with the recent and decent amount of rain of late the old stone damn finally has water flowing over it….

A ride out to the desert, testing out a route for an upcoming club ride. Tons of people were out enjoying the fresh crop of desert wildflowers. Took the long way home. 240 miles. Hot in the desert (85) dropping to 60*F at the top of the mountain (more or less Julien) and back to 72 just before hitting home.

And the wild flowers were worth it.

Wickliffe Ky, close to the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio river. The cross which sits on the river bluffs, 90 ft tall, serves as a beacon for the hundreds of tows, and the thousands of men and women, that ply the two rivers.
13035
In 1780 during the Revolutionary War, General George Rogers Clark established Fort Jefferson on a hill overlooking the Mississippi River one mile south of present-day Wickliffe. The fort was intended to protect what was then the western boundary of the infant United States from raids by the British Army and Native Americans. It was abandoned in 1781 after a siege by the Chickasaw.

The site later served as a Union Army post during the American Civil War. General Ulysses S. Grant directed a demonstration against the Confederate-held position at Columbus, Kentucky, in January 1862. Troops from the post joined in capturing Fort Henry in February 1862. It served as a Union supply post for operations in the western theater of the war.

A 90-foot tall cross, the Fort Jefferson Memorial Cross at the Confluence, was completed in 2000 on Fort Jefferson hill.

Just a quick jaunt up to Skykomish, WA... An old railroad town.
Images below are taken in the front of and the side of the Skykomish Hotel...
Closed for many years... I understand it was for sale to be torn down. For a recycler there are some great ornate wood items in there... All "Old Growth" too. Beams, flooring, etc.

I ride to work year round and I've been on the 2 wheeler for a bit so I ran the hack just to give it some fresh air! Twas a nice hour plus ride.

I really this one, I take it it is a crop of the first one? The grain of the building really adds rather than detracts as it gives the building an "old time" look that is in keeping with the wooden structure and the contrast of the modern machine in much sharper details again adds to the overall effect and heightens the contrast of new and old.

Today's pictures are still on the camera... (and it was a VERSYS day today as it had been sitting neglected in the garage for almost two weeks.) On Sat 14 Jun, the BMW Motorcycle Club of Ottawa met at the Carp Farmer's Market for a Road/GS Ride to Palmer Rapids via Calabogie and back. As the day started overcast with showers, most of us didn't know whether to bother wearing raingear or just hope the showers were light and fast. As it turned out, the raingear wasn't needed and by afternoon the temperature was mesh riding gear warm...

We stuck closer to home this weekend cause the afternoon thunderstorms have been brutal.
I took the opportunity to venture down roads less traveled. Sometimes that means you run out of road and onto the dirt.
Now I know some of you look for that kind of opportunity...but some bikes are not crazy about it.

We stopped to check Garmin to see if this one ended soon, it did, and was in nicer shape than paved roads we've been on recently.

I saw a huge amount of parents and kids in the stores in Bozeman buying the back to school stuff and so I've noticed how quiet the roads are around Yellowstone.

The pic is of the Roosevelt Arch built in 1903, it's made of local volcanic rock and basalt.
The cost to build it was $10,000 dollars......I can't imagine the cost today!

In September I rode my 07 G.S. out to California with the thought that it would be great to store a bike their over the winter, flying out from time to time for a ride.
The trip out went well except for these unique hightlights.

1. Near Elko NV a trucker didn't think I gave him enought room to merge so he chased
me at 95 mph, running up on my tail to make a point?

2. Outside of Truckee Ca. a pickup truck hauling four ATV's dropped a five gallon can
of gasoline that did flips in front of me and bounced off of my right knee.

3. When I arrived in San Fran. I rented a car for a day and within five minutes I was
pulled over by the CHP.......I didn't know it was now illegal to chat on a handheld
cell phone while driving in CA. This was the first time I've been stopped in 25 yrs.

4. After storing my bike for one month in my friends car port, his neighbor reported
me to the Ca. Highway Patrol for having an unregistered vehicle in state.
Google: CHP Cheaters.....it's really interesting! I had to explain I hadn't moved
Calif. but was just visiting.

I'm back in Montana today and I went for a ride in Bozeman with the Temp. at a beautiful 72!
The photo was taken at Bridger Golf course about noon today.

Cheers!

There is another break in the weather here, so it was time to get Rita out for a little exercise. It hasn't snowed for almost a week, so the side roads (they are never plowed) had cleared enough to get to the main roads and the roads outside town have only a few icy and/or slushy spots. It was in the low 40s, beautifully sunny, and the wind was still below 20 mph. I set off for lunch at a little western town 60 miles away.

About halfway there the wind started to come up, which made me think that perhaps 41 degrees is a little chilly - so I turned around. I had hoped to post something more picturesque than a snow fence, but here's where I went today:

well, this was from a ride yesterday, less than 24 hours ago, so i hope it squeaks in under the deadline.....

If you haven't heard, it is the end for Two Wheels Only in Suches, GA. Not for lack of business, but for lack of a lease.

This iconic hang-out is a large part of many a riders' life, definitely of mine.

I've been riding up that way for 30 years but wasn't able to make their going away party last Sunday. So I swung on by yesterday and found the owners clearing out the very last items from the kitchen.

Owners Britt and GT were there, so I was able to express my condolences... they looked very sad. This just has to be awful for them.

Well, hope something turns brighter for them soon.... there is plenty of opportunity for a business like this in these parts.

My name is Steve Page. I live in King N.C. This is my 2000 K1200RS that I got from a good friend this past February. This was taken this past Saturday on the Blue Ridge Parkway between N.C. 21 and N.C.18. This is my first BMW and I love it.

We RIDE at Dawn.

Paul and I left our adobe in SW Texas this morning at dawn. Expecting 100 degree heat later, we had a very cool start. At Alpine we saw evidence of wildfires west of Alpine. Such a scary time. We'll be on the road for four months. More later.

Attended the Yankee Beemers Pemi River Rally this weekend. Last time I attended, with a group of IBMWR riders circa 1996, Mt. Washington was closed due to high wind.

So, Saturday morning I headed to Mt Washington in hopes of making it to the summit. It was raining and cold, with moderate wind so the road was open to motorcycles.

Respect.

Please read the United States Code:

UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 36
CHAPTER 10

§176. Respect for flag (http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html#176)

[SeabeckS]

The paint job is nicely done, and fairly attractive...

However, I have to agree with GrafikFeat on this one...

Personally I'm a bit tired of seeing the Stars and Stripes pasted across a bike, a butt, or just about anywhere else. It's a very meaningful symbol of the origins and history of our country, and the use of it as a "decorative" feature just demeans the flag.

Just my very personal opinion, and if that offends someone....too bad.

[marchyman]

Not a fan of of the paint job.

Paint's fine. The stripes fit the curves of the bike quite well.

Now those passenger peg/floorboards drive me up the wall. :bluduh

§176. Respect for flag (http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html#176)

Again, duly noted. However, your site only pertains only to "the flag", not the colors, red, white, or blue, or to stars or stripes. If the owners had taken a "flag" and glued it to the bike your point would be more valid. Instead he used paint and stylized a suggestion of a flag. Do you also object to the costume of "Uncle Sam", which uses a similar stylizing, but is not made of an actual flag?

http://gsteve.smugmug.com/photos/i-BPmL4fG/0/M/i-BPmL4fG-M.jpg

I think that the paint work was tastefully done and made a statement that the owner is proud of his country. But, even if I didn't like it, I would never feel compelled to walk up to him and inform him of such, even if in my mind I would be wondering "what were you thinking".

I'm not going to argue my opinion. Or start splitting hairs with you.
Colors are mentioned in the Code.
"My Site" I had chosen to link was one of thousands. Perhaps this one is better:
http://www.vfw.org/Community/Flag-Education/

As in grade school we were told "Two wrongs don't make it right."
"Because Tommy did it doesn't mean you should."

Do what what you want. I just happen to think it is disrespectful of the Flag and anyone who has died defending it.
Quoting: "The language of the federal code makes clear that the flag is a living symbol."
That's clear enough for me.

Oh... If I had seen it at the rally I prolly would have said something had the owner been standing there.
"Beautiful paint job... But did you know..."

Sorry, I assumed that since you ventured to express your opinion, you also wanted to argue the point. Somehow I suspect that your unsolicited opinion about someone else's bike is in the minority. I hope that you can get out for a ride soon and enjoy life.
