SOHC Road trip movies
« on: December 29, 2006, 07:19:59 PM »
This one was taken by me in New Mexico - we were riding as an SOHC group from LAX to New Orleans - Easy Rider style. Notice the CB550 (Ute -LA), the cafe CB750 (Fabrizio -LA), the CB750F1 (Tim -England) and the chopper CB750 (Axl -Munich).


Enjoy,
Andy

Do you carry extra gas with you?  Wow, that's a whole lot of nothing out there...but I bet it was a great trip.  :D

I saw your buddy give you the "bird", which is pretty typical of good friends. ;D

Hey Sparty,
That was in reference to the whole "Easy Rider" theme of the ride...freedom to ride and all that  ;)
cheers

Andy,

Looks like you had a blast doing it.

Hey, I am still planning a New England ride this summer once my new engine is solidly broken in.  I will have to shorten my trip due to graduate classes this summer (I am 2/3rds of the way finished with my PhD), but I am still planning on at least riding from PA into NY and then VT and NH.  I will have to cut out the Maine and Nova Scotia parts of the trip which I initially planned because I have to sort through a ton of statistical data.

Happy New Year,
Sparty
