Great fun! Thanks for letting us ride along.

I was stewarding a BMW CCA club race ... that's why I'm in my steward getup instead of riding clothes ... a possed picture.

I just realized I hadn't posted a picture from the MOA Rally in VT. Here I am striking a pose at Smugglers Notch!

Just a little weekend getaway in 2006 (Photo album here (http://picasaweb.google.com/03K12RS))

[20774]

Nice pictures, but I can only see about 1/4 of each picture at a time. Next time, try reducing the resolution of the pictures from the current 2304x1728 to something like 800x600. You'll have to do this with some software outside of the camera. That way the whole picture will fit on the screen at once. Computer monitors generally can only resolve something like 100-150 dpi...I'm guessing your original photos were equivalent to 400-500 dpi.

Just a suggestion...

Meat Cove was quite a site- hope to tent there this summer

Gail, unless the officer knows you and stopped you to say hello, that picture does not invoke any fun memories for me. :doh But maybe that's just me. My last moving violations were in 2004 and should be off the record this year. Yea! Clean slate!:laugh

[Gil]

My wife and I went to the Oralndo Museum to view "The Art Of Th Mototrcycle", We went on my 1975 R90. here are some of the images.

i recognize that gs in the background, you were camped next to jim, i was out in the woods back behind the rvs. i think that was the "unruly and unstable" camping zone.

aka ADV rider campground

there was a dude from new hampshire right across the little dirt road from you with an awesome white /2 hack, i went for a little ride in the sidecar...........

Derek, seeing those wobbly pops is getting you all nostalgic.....

[spiegeltuxer]

From June 2006, its not me and my BMW but....I rented an EG Classic in Sedona for a day and rode up to the Grand Canyon. Put on over 400 miles. Even got to ride thru Jerome on my way back. Seeing the GC on anything is highly recommended.

The hymns being played by the bells freaked me out a little at first, then it became kind of soothing.

[Braddog]

Where I "lived" for 3+ days...a helluva lot of fun.

Thanks!That's Great!

My brother accompanied me on the Moab to Bellingham leg of my 10,000 mi loop this June/July.

I'm in the process of compiling the 26 posts made on www.sport-touring.net entitled The Road Les Traveled (TRLT) and still viewable under "ride reports."

A friend and I are doing a redux September 15th ( Brrrrr), shipping our bikes and flying to Kalispell for a ride over Logan Pass then down through Yellowstone and home to Baltimore.

If it all pans out, I'll post on BMW MOA under "Somebody....Stop Me!"

Stay tuned.

This past weekend, I rode the Going to the Sun Road through Glacier National Park.

http://www.bubbagazoo.ca/Site/Going%20to%20the%20Sun_files/IMG_0432.jpg

And then headed in the direction of Waterton National Park on Alberta highway 5.

http://www.bubbagazoo.ca/Site/Going%20to%20the%20Sun_files/IMG_0439.jpg

[rinty]

Robert, that first shot must have been on one of the many construction stops, eh?

And by being on a bike, you were at least able to park at the top!

[bubbagazoo]

Rinty

Actually, Rinty, that construction shot was the only one in the park on that day. On my trip, I only ran into construction 3 times (twice on the second day of my trip on US 287) in the States. Then, on Tuesday (7 August) I ran into two construction zones between Pincher Creek and Fort Macleod on highway 3.

Yes, I was able to park at the top at the Logan's Pass visitor centre. Lots of bikes up there. Went from west to east on Going to the Sun. Next time, I will go the other way to that I am closer to the rocks than the drop. :D

[advenbob]

One of our many stops over 19 days. Just off the interstate a few miles btw Cheyenne and Laramie. Thats Wyoming. Not too far from Gillette (at least on a BMW)

[hlebowi2]

Morning at Airhead at the Aerodrome, Wilcox Park, Dutchess County NY.
A beautiful weekend.

[ElTee2]

Maybe I'm missing something, but when I click this post...pg.1...I don't see how to move to pg.2. At the bottom, you may go to the next thread, but to get to the next page, I have to backup to the opening page and then select a page# higher than 1....Is it me?

[20774]

At the bottom right of the last posting on each page, there should be a control that allows you to advance through the posts, and even skip ahead if you want. You should seem something that says "Page 1 of 21" with some forward and back arrows as well as individual page numbers to jump to.

[ElTee2]

Thanks Kurt. You're right except from pg. 1 on the Stickey," Post pictures of fun you had this summer." You can scroll forward from the page after selecting "campfire"...would you call that the "contents" page?.... as well as from pg.2 and higher (where the control you mention shows up), but I can't advance from pg.1 on this thread......? / LT

[20774]

I now see what the problem is :idea ...someone posted a wide picture. The control you need is off the screen to the right. You'll need to use the scroll bar at the bottom to get over to it...

[beauty123]

Thanks!That's Great!

I rode from Wisconsin to Vermont and back in June, along all five Great Lakes plus Champlain. Went across Lakes Huron, Champlain and Michigan on ferryboats, and made a stop in Lake Placid, where my parents had gone on vacation 70 years earlier.

[bluehole]

antaeas, what a great photo. That is really cool.

I did Lake Champlain with my parents for years as a child...afraid to go back and see what it has become.

Once again, great picture.

The bike is stowed below and the ship is moving at about 42 knots. Portland, ME has dropped out of sight and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia will not appear for another 3 hours. What to do?


Read a book?
Shop in duty free stores?
Scan for whales?
Take a nap?

I rode to Boulder, CO for the birth of my grand daughter. She arrived on Sept. 17th, and is adorable, of course.

Now the trick is to get the bike back to ON before it gets too cold.

Every fall I try to take a 4 day weekend and tour the Black Hills. The colors in early October are beautiful, and the riding is incredible. This year I was able to hook up with my son Colin and Barry (mrmaico on this forum) for some fantastic riding.

Nice shot!

Say I think I have a poem writen just for you (well not really for you but..)
called appropriately The Escape Artist. lets see......
its in here somewhere.....Oh, here it is.
It was one of the first that I wrote when I got back into writing in 99

THE ESCAPE ARTIST

Wrapped up in chains,
And locked in a box;
And dropped in the River,
His existence forgot.

For years it just lay there,
As the silt piled round.
He just sat in his box,
In a world without sound.

Up above in the light,
The world carried on.
While he sat in his box,
They forgot he was gone.

The once famous artist,
Now so quiet and still.
He just sat in his box,
In the water so chill.

Then many years later,
When by accident found;
The box was retrieved,
Returned to dry ground.

The wood, mostly rotted,
Simply turned into dust.
Inside, naught but chains,
All covered with rust.

Of the once famous artist,
Not a clue did remain.
They remained unaware,
Of his sorrow and pain.

As so often happens,
With any great art.
The creator’s forgotten,
Until they depart.

Who is that handsome devil on the mighty K bike? I hope you saved all of our rustic road adventure shots as my computer ate all of mine. If it wasn't for all the snow piled in front of the carraige house door, i'd be tempted to strike out for a bit this afternoon.
