Just went out and burned some fuel for the hell of it yesterday. A quick stop outside a lovely little church in Coddington.
Nice bike and lovely spot!

That's the place. Do you know the area Hondanut? A better quality picture from the Google guys I must admit.

Wish I could say that I know the place, but regretfully I've never even been overseas. :-[

However, I do like exploring Google Maps and finding the exact spot from someone's picture. :D  Then I can imagine being there too and enjoying some of the same treats...thanks for sharing.

My 72 750 in the Bedford, Ohio First Annual Vintage Bike Show, some jerk with a 1910 Harley showed up and stole the show...  it was fun anyway, met another forum member Suelzer at the show and also met up with MyHondas, a great day really.

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Out riding my stripped down '77 CB550. Taking a break near Copenhagen, Denmark. It was some kind of construction site, late in the day.

The light and the surroundings seemed perfect for B/W. Shot with my mobile phone - pretty decent I think.
