    Well, I can see most of the pavement in my subdivision again. If the weather holds for the rest of the week the ice will melt enough for me to get the GS out again. Just finishing up the usual winter mods, updates and repairs. If it all works out, I will try to find a decent tag. Due to the dearth of lighthouses in central Indiana , it will probably be something else.

      Well someone has got to jump start this thread, it may as well be me. I was heading out to ride down to Mexico or maybe Texas for this, but I found one a little closer. Here's your lighthouse...





      Not much of a lighthouse, but hey, I'm in Colorado, it will have to do.


      And since those of you in the warm coastal areas were too busy riding to play the riding game, totally blew off your obligation to photograph a lighthouse even though you had months to do so, here's a new tag you tropical types can't possibly find, unless you ride very far indeed:





      A frozen lake or pond.

            Nope, it's a damn lighthouse! It looks more like a lighthouse from the other side where you can see the whole thing, but that's the freeway and I didn't feel like getting killed trying to stop and take the picture.
            There is no airport within miles of my tiny lighthouse.
            There are no airplanes within miles of my tiny lighthouse.
            Now get that bike out and find us a frozen pond!

                  She's coming along...scored a set of unrashed lower fairings over the winter...belly fairing is still rough...
                  Mounted a new front tire yesterday...still need to do the rear. ABS now works...new front springs...
                  I am liking it...today was the first ride of the year...

                          Technically, it's a riding game, it's supposed to get people out riding. Actually, If you position the camera and the truck correctly we'd never know.
                          Got another driver going along? If you were to sit on the bike in the back of the truck as you pull into the picture spot, then you are riding?
                          It's up to you, man. We like cool pictures no matter how they got there.
