Thanks, but the auto function of the camera did everything. I like the way you have set your events out, obviously far more patience than meSfomoto_imp said:

On Meridian Rd northeast of Tallahassee.
There's something about a lone person on their motorcycle out there somewhere.

I had an afternoon to kill so I thought I'd take a ride down the back roads to Mt. Lemmon, near Tucson. I was having so much fun I forgot to take any pics until I stopped at a rest area off the slab as the sun was going down.
I spent most of the 250+ miles letting the Go Cruise hold the throttle and turned in a Ferret-like 53 mpg.

Nice pic, Flynrider.

Here's a couple from yesterdays birthday ride
The Buchanan House is a Historic House in the next township east of where I live
A creek that crosses under my favorite local road, St Rt 743

A wake of Black Headed Vultures on a dead whitetail deer. You have to watch out for these if you are out riding, they are large, stupid, slow to take off, and will often come back across the road at about 5 feet off the surface. One nearly took my wife off her scooter a couple years ago, hitting the top of her helmet as she passed by.

The vultures are a hazard around here also. All the road killed deer, coons, opossums and other critters provides an asphalt buffet table for them. I always slow down and prepare for evasive action when approaching them.

^ No kidding!
After a week of 100+ weather here, this past weekend was beautiful, down into the 80s and not a cloud in the sky, so with a bunch of new equipment recently installed, I took full advantage of it. Saturday I got in an unbelievable 70 miles (which is unheard of for me these days), and Sunday around another 30 or so before my granddaughter's birthday party.
Mostly local canyon roads, then up through Oak Glen, then up Hwy. 38 (the back road to Big Bear Mtn., for any SoCal-ers here). Nearly forgot to get any pics, but here's some on a turnout near Forest Falls on the 38:

...you can see the new chrome chainguard in that last one.

Gee ... I hope not one last time.
Bike's looking good, Papa.
Looks like a pretty good place for a ride too.

Thanks!
It's a great ride. I've got about a 45 mile circuit I call my "Blowing the Cobwebs Out" run, which is almost all canyon roads. I ran that, and added the additional run up the mountain on Saturday, which I almost never have the time for. Still getting acquainted with the CB, so this was a great weekend.

It looks lovely so much nicer riding in hills than endless flat.
Took a spin with a group from Millstone, NJ, where our 'home' Triumph dealer is, out to Atlantic Highlands for a waterfront lunch. We had a larger group than is normal, and some squids who uneasy keen on riding with. But a nice spring day nonetheless. Here's my CB with my buds Thunderbird Sport, a bike I am looking to add to my stable someday.

I think I posted this in my ride report, but I like the pic so I'll post it here, too.

Very nice EmptySea. Puzzle worthy even. I'll have to go read your ride report.

Taken from Mt Osmond. Not the best photo, but that's Adelaide in the background., you can see some high rises, which is the cbd, extending to the sea. I'm trying to upload photos from tapatalk for the first time...

Nice shot, Aussie. Adelaide is wondrous flat, isn't it?
