Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

[Tev62]

Out for a spin today, work a bit slack (self employed) so time to take advantage of the sun which came out. It's often cloudy on the Wicklow Mountains though but still very pleasant, just a local weather pattern.

Bumped into a '55 Triton outfit on my way, a husband and wife out for tea. Very nice way to spend their retirement.

That looks lovely, Tev! I should go for more rides during the day. I'm not self-employed, but nobody really knows what I do around here, and I've been here so long that nobody would bother to ask.

Very nice pics and bikes Tev
The Triton is a beast!

Nice specimen Tev. Like seeing some of the real oldies.

It's weird to think of a time where Triumph were deemed to be the best engine manufacturers and Norton the best frame manufacturers and that builders just made one bike out of the two main components and thought that was perfectly reasonable.

 

[Cormanus]

It seems not only reasonable to me but sensible as well.

Beautiful photos, Tev. Looks to be a great way to spend the day off.

Ride Red!
US 421 “The Snake”, Shady Valley, TN
Pulled pork with Cheerwine soda at Shady Valley Country Store.

After lunch, I met the couple that rode this bike to Shady Valley. Mentioned the rally and the forum to him. Bike has 1400 miles and he bought it used at an estate sale with 650 miles on it.

You all alone Sea? Where's the group?

The group was there too!

And here’s the couple I met.

Chased them down to get a photo, but it didn’t turn out very well.

To quote Sid Caeser in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World...

Nice pics everyone

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

A solid yellow 'n' purple alp.

There's everybody's favorite yellow! Beautiful.
Last day before I have to report back to work at the college tomorrow, so what better way than to ride the CB1100...did a route I hadn't done for a number of years.

Lewis River Rd meanders through Lake Merwin, Yale Lake and the Swift Reservoir, all just south of Mt. St. Helens in Washington. About a 165 mile loop.

The Lewis River which feeds into Swift Reservoir

Fun to ride through long sections of forest tunnels

From McClellen Point, looking at Mt. St. Helens, which blew its top May 18, 1980

Kind of looks like the peak is cloud covered, but the peak disappeared in the blast.

Here's a sat shot of the viewpoint looking towards the south exposure of Helens

Then more and more lovely forest riding till I returned to the Columbia River. Very windy, lots of para-sailing and kite surfers (visible if you enlarge the photos)

Awesome pics guys!

I remember that was a big deal back in the day. Some man actually video taped the event (mostly grey image) while trying to deal with it.

Cormanus, I think it is an optical illusion that makes the front of the tank look dented. It is one of those things that I see one time one way and the next time the other way.
