Thanks to dry weather, so no salt or mag chloride to contend with, I was able to go on the first New Year's Day ride in several years.  It was a little on the cool side, but the faithful 750 fired right up and ran its usual flawless self.  Very satisfying.

Very nice weather around here for the last few days.  It will change radically this weekend, so took advantage of the nice weather to take a ride.

Nice Stev-o.  My daughter and her family are moving to San Antone in May so it looks like more Texas riding is in my future.

we are well over $5.00 a gallon for non-ethanol here but I won't run anything else.
Nice rides!!
Many, many years ago I was on my way back to Jacksonville, Fla where I lived at the time from a coast to coast journey, my friend and I stopped for the night at Palo Duro Canyon park up in the panhandle, a beautiful place as I recall. In the night we did not notice it had rained and the water crossings were roaring, we woke up and realized we were stuck for a few hours. A nice couple in a camper fed us breakfast, they really took pity on two long haired bike riders in their early 20's (red and blue/green K0 750s) from Fla. Fun times

Thanks for the tip. I'll make a point of checking it out.  I've ridden in Texas on four different trips.  I like the country up around Sanderson, Alpine and Fort Davis.  We took 4 days to ride from Texarkana to El Paso one year, taking a roundabout route.  We've ridden down to the Big Bend area a couple of times.  The thing about Texas is there is lot of great riding but long stretches of monotony in between them.  Makes you appreciate the good stuff that much more, I reckon.  I've only scratched the surface of what there is to do in Texas.

A couple of my Hondas (my CB500F is in my garage at my house) waiting for some good riding weather here in Indiana.   Not really on the road but hope this next week to get the 350 out on the road.

Thank you. Iphone 15 camera is amazing. Photos can be taken into the sun yet the subject still has detail.

It is amazing that the camera can do that. So no modifications to the picture after?

I did fiddle with the adjustments in Lightroom on my ipad until the image captured the feeling of “being there”. Its hard not to overdo it!

The 15 captures details that would be just a black blob with my previous camera.

Back to SOHC content…. Here is another photo from the same ride, but the light was not as good. Straight out of camera:

Nice photos!
Todays phones have such good camera and always in the pocket.
Edit and correct a photo is quickly done too.

With the app Tapatalk easy to write a post on this forum, add photos while still out on the ride. Update at a food stop as one example. ;D
