Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

Just cruisin' the forest preserves on the outskirts of Chicago before dusk, then took a little road along a railroad track back into a more rural neighborhood and found... A Llama! on a leash, just lounging in the grass next to the road. She (the Llama) goes by the name of Tu-tu. Some folks like dogs - some like cats, this young lady goes in for more exotic pets!

That photo hurt my brain for a moment, until I realized that was a small mirror stuck onto your larger mirror! Looked like a reflection in one mirror looking back into a reflection in another mirror. Funny how your brain screws with you until it makes sense of what it sees.

A quickie to the Robertson Pie Shop and back. Hardly worth a Seat Time thread. Just under 400kms via the Jamberoo - Robertson Road, a run down and up the Macquarie Pass and, after a pie, a run down and up Mt Keira Road. All good roads. If interested, here's a link to a Macquarie Pass run by CBRR1DER. 11mins total but nice vid. Interesting cut at approx 3mins. He probably double-lined that white car and didn't want it "on the record".

Those calves just loved the CB.

It was 32degC on the road today. A little warm in the leathers but something occurred to me while looking at these cows. A sort of "Eureka" moment, you might say. Not one single one of those beasts had gravel rash. No, not one. This undoubtedly proves how efficacious is a cow hide set of leathers. The second thing that occurred to me was that I should have carried a very sharp knife and a Barbecue with me.

Comfort stop Mt Keira Road.

That is a WONDERFUL view.

Great pics Ptero...as usual.

Great time for pumpkins and fresh apples here( the home made Amish chocolate was super also). We have had a bunch of very warm weather here so everyone was out riding, made me think about you guys down under , when you guys give the wave do you do it with your right hand? I waved so much today seems to be riding one handed.

Pumpkins and big horses, great photos.

We are versatile here in Oz. Wave with the left, can clutch it and wave with the right (or on decell), but the big one is "The Nod". The Nod is cool. However, best avoided when passing a group ride when it kinda looks like you have some kind of bizarre head tic syndrome. There is, naturally enough, a wave, or nod, pecking order. Red sport bike riders, when knee down at fifty degree lean angles don't wave. Through their chrome iridium visors the merest hint of a raised eyebrow may be detected. "Dirties" give a weary wave of a mud stained glove, the "Don't I look like Mushman look". There are other varieties, however and without deviation, the standouts are the heavily-chromed-cruisers-that-hath-no-name. After receiving the OEM love hate knuckle ink, and prior to being handed the keys, the dealership inserts probes into the frontal lobe which programs "No nod no wave, maintain a fixed straight ahead stare like I'm going to my next meet". CB riders? Well most of us try for the "Son, I've had more bikes than you've had hot dinners" wave.

Cheers, and again, nice pumpkins.

Nearly forgot. Learner and Provisional licence holders wave like crazy loons trying to get into the asylum. Which, in fact, they are.

The color is coming on in some places here in NE Wisconsin, but you have to know where to go. My wife Laura was game so we put on about 160 miles meandering the back roads through Marinette and Florence counties, which consequently put big smiles on both our faces!

I think the real color will be next weekend!

[Pterodactyl_imp]

^^^^^^. Well done. Not much Autumn colour here in Oz. A little in the southern states but in the main non-deciduous eucalypts. Looking forward to next weekends photos.

Cheers, and thanks for sharing.

PS. Nice coloured bike.

[the Ferret]

Nice CA, nice!

And MFG.. I love the autumn colors. Not here yet. Expected to see more down in Kentucky but they were just starting to turn.
