Wow! Another dry day in the Pacific Northwest! Trust me when I say that's rare this time of year. Taking advantage of it I got in another 100 mile ride today to Multnomah Falls along the Columbia River Gorge. I've been there many times before but never on a Rocket. I knew it would make a great backdrop for a bike photo.

Wow, your arm must be very tired from polishing that fine looking ride. Great pics.

Is that green stuff covering all the tree trunks - moss?

If you look close you will see moss on the concrete as well.
Bob how did you manage to get a picture at the falls with out a bunch of people standing around?

Just don't let any moss grow on your Rocket.

yes it is & snow, ice, sleet or rain will not kill it.

The shot and the bike.

I just sat on the R3T this afternoon at DeSimone Motorsport in Mt Laurel NJ. That thing is a moose! And I like it!

Enjoy the ride Bob! You've got good taste!

Nice photos and nice scoot. The falls bring back a memory of my Sept. trip to the Gorge (White Salmon and Hood River), then to Portland for a new tire, before riding down the coast. A beautiful area of our country. That parking lot was quite full the day I rode the historical highway. Looks pretty empty yesterday.
