      Nice.
      All three.

      Do you get any comments about how many pictures you take of bike(s) and how many pictures you take of her?

      I get comments about that.

        To work Friday morning (42 degF)


        Friday after work, heading across the state (from Holland to Saline/AnnArbor, 160 miles) to visit daughter and SIL. I spent about an entire 3 minutes planing a route, and then didnt follow that either.

        I was wanting to see farmland, cows, corn. Also saw cabbage fields and celery fields.
        Here is along a county road south of Grand Rapids. Cut corn and bean feilds.
        GPS kept pointing me to Interstate, but I was following map. Stopped here to change gloves, a bit warmer here than along lakeshore.


        SATURDAY
        Rode over and joined Mr Redstedman's VJMC/HondaF ride thru Irish Hills and around to The Dam Site Inn in Hell. Besides Redstedman was myself, was 4 others there from GSR (6 if count my son and SIL) of a total of 12 bikes. Was great.

        SUNDAY
        Rode back over to Redstedman and rode to Stockbridge for All Clubs bike show.

        Have added pics to Restedman posting about ride Saturday and and show Sunday.


        I should harrass any and all of you Michigan east-siders that did not join us, especailly any south-easterner.
        Rustybronco tried anyway.

            Thanks. As far as composition; I would have liked to have found a spot that avoided the white line, and had the blueberry field up closer, and have waited a few minutes for sun to rise a bit more, and then a few more minutes for yet another, maybe different color, but... I was on way to work after all, and had already turned around to go to get to east side of road.

            I have some other sunrize shots enroute to work in morning where I did venture off to find other place. Is in the "sunrise sunset" thread. And other sunrise and other sunset (at Lake Michigan) shots with bike promenent.

            You mentioned composition; Sunrize or sunset are both nice setting for composing a mo'cycle picture, but does present a difficult exposure situation (have also discussed that in "sunrise sunset".

                Nice one Rich! Although the pair sitting on the verandah look a bit of a worry...

                I got out myself yesterday, nearly 260km's and didn't run out of fuel... I think that means my economy is a lot better running with the 95 octain fuel and after replacing the Dynatek. That makes over 54mpg this time... nice!

                I reckon I live near some of the best places for riding around here and the weather really turned on yesterday too, perfect spring day!

                The usual pit stop at Mt Mee:







                A forced pit stop heading up behind Somerset Dam after downing a whole bottle of water at Woodford:









                And I had to pull over here which is where we stopped with Glen back on the last run after installing his make shift master link:

                      Looks like they're just ripe and ready for Halloween Trevor! Looks like you got some spot on weather there too, although I'm guessing that's Fall for you rather than the Spring we have here...

                        Went to my son's parent/teacher night. Janice had plans so me and the boy went on the 1150. Should have seen the looks from his little buddies! And the dads liked it too.






                        Life is good!

                          2 x Kat + 2 x GS + 1 x GSX + Perfect Weather = Awesome!

                          John, Val, and I got out with some of the Kat boys yesterday and had another great ride. Two this week! Woohoo! Life is indeed good!

                          Derek and Reg were on their beastly Kats, Colin on Derek's GSX1100ES, and of course John and Val on the GS1100G + chair and me on my little GS450.

                          Sorry the pic's aren't quite as good, the iPhone didn't cope so well with the light/dark contrast...

                          A very nice little area to pull over and stretch the legs. Campbells Pocket Rd I think? I'd never been this way before.

















                          Had some brekky at Woodford:



                          And a close up of Derek's beastly Kat... BST wheels, Ohlin's forks and shocks, Brembo brakes, and a lot more CC's than stock:

                            And the last stop at the Pitstop cafe, again I'd never stopped there before although I've been past it quite a lot.







                            And the reason for the stop... the view! The iPhone doesn't show it but you can see all the way back to Brisbane from here:







                            All up we had an awesome ride...

                              Pete,
                              Oldskool has it right. What a great place to ride.
