    The 124 looks great, Bob.
    No cars/bikes on the Dragon should also mean no cops. Bet it was fun.

    Just curious, do they make a removable hardtop for winter driving?

      Yup....no tourists = no cops... It was fun.

      They do make a hard top, but it is big $$$.
      I run summer tires and avoid salt, so winter driving is not an issue.

        Thanks Scott. I really should have played with some fill light from the front to light the lower half better.
        It was late and cold in the garage. l'll probably try again before I give it back to my mother in law.

          Saw there was a freighter out in the lake. Looked like it was turning to head into the piers. So decided to sit there and wait, might be 45 minutes or so for it to make it into the channel. (Exciting life, eh?)

          When it got closer to pier head, I got out and walked the beach. Took some shots of it along the way. But those are fairly mundane shots. Will not bother you with those.

          As walking along I was noticing how the wind blows around the sand. Was streaks of fine sand in some areas, courser sand in others, pebbles in other, and shell fragments in others. But kept taking shots of the freighter coming thru the piers. Man, that thing is big.

          Saw this, and took a quick shot.

          Maybe should have spent more time looking over the sand formations.

            Was also a handfull of surfers out in the lake. Only a calm breeze, so no real waves, but these folks are out there, mostly just bobbing up and down on small waves and slowly drift in to where have to turn and paddle back out. Maybe get a small ride, but not enough to standup.
            Air temp was mid 20s, and I suspect the water temp is not much over 40.

            Had occasional cloud openings for these sun rays, and then some walkers came along to add something to the foreground.

              Nice. I like the sunbeams. I always seem to be at the wrong place / wrong time when I see them.
              Those winter surfers may be nuttier then cold weather motorcyclists.

              The sand is fun too. I always find the patterns that wind and water leave behind interesting.

                I wasn't intending to try for similar shots, but there was limited access because of a orange safety fence around the area. When I looked at them this evening and noticed the similarity, I cropped one so they were close. One looks to be from a slightly higher angle.,

                    Thanks Sandy. I was quite shocked when I looked at my tablet at breakfast yesterday and saw my pic in that section.

                        Haha, I was thinking about you last night Rich as the snow storm was heading your way.! We got about 4" but made for a hairy drive home from work. I want the 12"+ snow event. "Sorry boss, I can't make it today, snowed in... I think I'll make some homemade pizza! 🙂

                          We got about 15”. The boys and I shoveled yesterday afternoon, but it was futile. This morning, all I could do was shovel it away from the garage doors, then wait for my neighbor to come with his plow on his side x side ATV. He made short work of clearing the driveway to the road where the township trucks had plowed me in solid. Got to work about 11am. The boss was the only other guy there. I worked a few hours, then went home. On vacation tomorrow. Planning on spending the day in the garage with the heater on, tinkering on the bike.

                            We got about 6 inches before it turned to sleet. I had a lovey hard crust to deal with this morning. Got done with that and called work. They had nothing. Then as I was about to sit down for coffee I got a call.
                            Thankfully I got 6.5 hours on the clock. I already lost a day this week for other things.

                              Found this in a tank bag today, that is technically my wife's bike.
                              I bought the bike in 98 from the same guy who sold me my original 1150 Kat motor for a snowboard.
                              Probably on reserve when I went to the gas station.

                                Tell us more of this snowboard with the 1150 engine on it.
                                Sounds like a beast.
