    After we finished the morning ride to the Overlook restaurant during the rally on Friday, I managed to snap this picture of Charmayne in front of the bikes. I had no clue what I actually saw though until I got inside and started reviewing the phone. She sure was hungry that day:

        Tourist season is not quite here yet so the Niagara Parkway was empty today.
        Ended up at The Mather Arch in Fort Erie. A monument representing the good relationship between the U.S.and Canada.
        The Peace Bridge in the back ground heading over to Buffalo.

          Had the privilege to ride one once around town with a Staintune (sp?) 6-6 or was it a 3-1-3 can't remember.
          What a fine note that thing put out, just doing a loop around town under 45 mph.

            That is a PipeMasters system from Australia on mine. A 3-1-3.
            It does nothing for performance but it looks and sounds cool.

              After another grinding day at work, and a frustrating home project after, I got out for a ride tonight. Nothing worth photographing, but it was nice to get out, get unwound, smell the cut grass and my favorite late spring scent- honeysuckle. The inviting, warm, humid, night air was an added bonus.

                  Did a 100 mile trip on my 1100L today, got a bit wet on the way home. Need a new fuel line, the old one pinches shut and cuts off the fuel. All in all a good day.

                    Rode into Grand Rapids last night (Summer Time Blues, Tommy Castro).
                    Took a road that goes along the north side of the river.
                    Told myself that I was not stopping for pictures, have been on that road many times, have lots of pictures already. (and, scheesch... am not done posting pics from weekend Brown County trip.)

                    Going thru one of the marshy areas, there was some huge Blue Herons(?) Great Heron(?) close to the road, with heads poked up higher than the vegetation, real close to the road.

                    U-Turn.

                    Bike parked in bicycle lane, I had to stand in road, dodging some traffic. Mean time the birds had all stepped further away, these two still in picture frame.
                    As I am getting back on bike, I see there is a sheriff car up near the next intersection, doing a three-point-u-turn to head my way. I get underway and nod to him as I am pulling away.

                    .

                    << also have a "GS Sighting" to post. >>

                      Redman, those birds don't look like the Great Blue Herons I see around here. I noticed that the Sandhill crane breeds in your area and the thing is, I saw a pair last strutting along around here with their new chick last week. Nice picture.

                        After a hefty Friday evening with lots of booze and friends, didn't bother with preparing a breakfast – hopped on the bike instead, bought some snacks, drove up a hill and nibbled away in the sun.

                        From this POV, they would be on the left-hand side of the picture. Location is northern country, looking south-east. First ridges about 50km beeline out. Weather on this day was (and unfortunately still is) quite weird; a lot of sunny "pockets" interspersed with huge rainy/foggy/hazy areas, that's why one can't see them on this pic.


                        Redman: You seem to live in a nice corner of the country, keep the pictures coming

                        Jedz123: Your L looks very nice.

                            Mount Washington Auto Road summit today. The fiance and I rode out early to do this while it was still cooler outside. Then we went to Laconia for bike week. Heading down again Saturday.
