    Maybe the last day trip for the season?

    Well they're talking about snow next week, temperatures between 8 and 3 degrees Celsius, that's 46 - 37 Fahrenheit for you southerners. Gets pretty cold on the fingers at those temps. Took advantage of the sun being out and a balmy 10 degrees and off I went. A nice 5 hour ride on some real good twistys, there were even periods where I wasn't cursing the car in front of me. Felt good hitting 10 grand and taking some more meat off those Avon's. Spent a bit of time hitting some roads I don't know, found a real nice little spot hidden away in amongst the trees.

    The water looked pretty cold and the road was a little slick but a nice spot indeed.

    I was careening around some great corners and hills when I came up and around the top to the Pacific Ocean, it was quite inspiring at the moment.

    And I just love these signs

    Well I'm hoping this doesn't turn out to be the last ride of the season but if it does at least it was a good one.

    If only this sign also had the line "Speed limits Self regulated". Sounds like we have the same forcast. Thanks for the pictures.

      I tuck my bikes away once the leaves cover the roads,

        For the most part the roads were clear with the exception of some well treed back roads following the wind storm a day or two earlier, but that's one of the advantages of the rain up here, it cleans the roads. That photo showing the slick road was not indicative of what I was riding on at all, just a neat little find in the back woods. Glad you liked the photo's. I've got 'alot' of bike photos from different places and I haven't posted the resto of the 78 1000 yet so I'll have to take some time to do that this winter.
