According to the film guys, it's Shallow Play by The New Division. I could watch it a hundred times and not get tired of it....it makes me relive the ride and it was awesome. (first time I've ridden in a group of more than 4 bikes)

I took her out, sat on her, kicked her, hell I even beat on her a little...but in the end I made her feel pretty with a few glamor shots and she still came home with me!

I took a spin Friday up and down Hines Drive: 18 Miles of gentle sweepers along the Rouge river, from Dearborn to Northville. This is the most popular and safest MC road in these parts, through western Wayne county suburbia. At the Northville end you can connect to westbound 7 Mile road, for a nice ride to Whitmore Lake and other points west.

Good pic of your K1 along a nice stretch of hwy Kev. When I first saw it I thought you were near me. The hwy and the scenery looks almost identical to Hwy 421South near my house in Greensboro NC.

I don't think I could come up with a better one

I took a nice in the country south of Atlanta to visit a few of the locations where the Walking Dead is filmed, Senoia (Woodbury) and Graniteville, I don't remember hearing a name for it on the show, but it's where Rick, Michone and Carl encounter Morgan.

Bluezboy -- nice pics!

bluezboy · « **Reply #4484 on:** October 13, 2013, 05:18:09 PM »

Thank you Jas, the roads down here are great with light traffic and I hate to rub it in, but I ride year-round here except when it's raining!

cheftuskey121 · « **Reply #4485 on:** October 13, 2013, 06:41:29 PM »

Great pics Vern! I need to come up
for a few days and we can go. Year round riding woot woot

bluezboy · « **Reply #4486 on:** October 13, 2013, 07:56:43 PM »

Yes Justin, you do need to come up here, there are a lot of great rides I can take you on. That invitation goes for any you out there, c'mon down and ride with me!

Damfino · « **Reply #4487 on:** October 13, 2013, 08:03:33 PM »

I agree, great pic's Vern. The old girls looking real good, aren't you glad you hung in there and gave her another chance?

Kevin D · « **Reply #4488 on:** October 13, 2013, 09:08:31 PM »

dhall, If your roads look like the one I pictured I'm sure they would make for some fine riding. Mostly flatland and grid roads around here. A 20 foot rise and a couple of curves is a big deal. Fall colors are still improving, no frost right here yet but maybe not too far away. I envy you all with longer seasons and better MC roads.

Amen brother, yes I am so glad I hung on to Pandora, every since I went back to points she runs like a fine Swiss watch. D, you have a lot to choose from here, wide open country roads or you can get to the mountains in about 2 hours, Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway is about 4 hours away. I'm lucky to live in such an ideal place to ride,

and 4 hours my way and you're at the beach. I get to enjoy the worlds flattest and most boring roads......but at least I have the ocean

Just finished restoring the green 500/4 and took it for it's first test ride today. It's great when it all comes together perfectly.

I ride year-round too -- except when it is snowing

I have heated gear, and will ride (to work) down to 20 degrees in the morning to be able to ride home when it is above freezing. On weekends, I'll go for "fun" rides so long as it is above freezing at some point during the day.

Two years ago, I got lucky. We had only a week when I didn't ride, as we got very little frozen precip.
Last year, I lost, maybe 6 weeks of riding.

Great shot of the two riders on two bikes - if you had a scenic backdrop behind you Id put a pic like that in the SOHC 2014 calendar.

Enjoy the ride!

I just don't get you guys who ride those old, slow motorcycles instead of some new plastic! WOW, those 550's are hot, I need to add one to my stable. Andy, I'm crazy about the Walking Dead too. If you are on Face Book, friend me and then you can see more photos form my dead ride, including one of the inside of Morgans hideout with all of the walls covered with his notes! Vern Edwards

Shorter days and long shadows. Near Mill Creek, WA.
Got out for a bread run with GZ on the bars.
That was about all I had time for, but it was good.

ewanhughes · « **Reply #4498 on:** October 14, 2013, 07:29:26 AM »

Nearing the end of the riding season over here so I managed to capture a few photos round about Dumfries.

ewanhughes · « **Reply #4499 on:** October 14, 2013, 07:31:09 AM »

And some more
