Took an evening ride to one of my favorite vistas to get some sunset pics for Pic of the Week Game. Got there early and had the spot to myself, for a little bit. Another guy with a camera, then another with 2 dogs, then another with a camera. We shot the breeze for a bit, then a another truck stopped and out spilled a whole Mennonite family; mom, dad, 4 girls and a boy. Most whipped out smartphones and proceeded to crowd my shot. I’ll never understand the various sects and their stances on technology. Their truck had an airbrushed decorative license plate, you know, the kind you get at a boardwalk shop down the shore. Oh, well, I decided to find it amusing. Sunset wasn’t very spectacular anyway. I’ll post one of the better early shots in the game.

I got a little ride in today on my new to me, ahem, project bike. Anyway, same place with same jet in the background just this time with the 3rd bike.

Nothing gets past you Dave. I thought you might recognize that. So I'm sure you also saw that it is a project. New learning curve for me for sure.

Edit: PM sent to you Dave.

Got out on a beautiful night

Nice day biking and hiking. Put about 160 miles on the little GZ250. Saves on gas and tires on the bigger bikes.

Up the hill...




And down the hill...



This is Canandaiqua Lake. I don't think it's officialy a finger lake but it basically is. If you ever decide to go across New York State I suggest staying south of the Finger Lakes. The north side is much less scenic.

Canandaigua - 4th largest of the finger lakes (Google). And I can attest to the feature-less quality of the geography on the way to Lake Ontario. Used to kill the engine in the middle of an intersection and feel like Cary Grant at the bus stop in North By Northwest. Flat and quiet.

Very fond memories of the 3 years I lived right next to the Barge (Erie) Canal.

Got out for a few hours today. Only pics I took was at Norris Dam.

They had some barriers to stop cars from parking here, so I assumed it was motorcycle parking. Correct Redman Dave?

yah, if meant to keep bikes out, the poles would be closer together.

although apparently my interpretation of such stuff does not always match the observation of nearby officer. As in my left turn last night was observed to be a u-turn.

okay, maybe it was.

….. and I didn’t have current Proff Of Insurance.
….. And I was driving around with parking ticket under wiper (from earlier) that I didn’t see till after got pulled over (by same officer).

Love the look of that Wolf pipe, Trevor.
The rounded arc of the headers and the rolled end of the muffler brings back fond memories from the '80s.

Ride this afternoon to Holland. Was a ship (600+ feet) comming in the harbor.

I have been expecting comment about such pics that have posted before. “Oh, you like to ride your BMW RT so can go see big slow things.”

is intersting to be close enough to that big ship moving slowly, can hear prop splashing, see rudder turn, hear engine (boiler) run up, see/hear bow thrusters making waves, and then slowly see all that tonnage start to change course.
