Not on the road, but on Anderson Ferry, crossing the Ohio river between Cincinnati and Kentucky., (Cincinnati on the left.)


I also had an anderson ferry excursion over to rt8 and rt20.

I went on a Christmas Toy Run today, proceeds going to the Salvos. I met up with Roger from a 750 club that I've joined & we stuck together for the ride. Out of 800-1,000 bikes, ours were the only SOHCs. Great ride, the route was controlled so we could run any red lights we came to.

I only rode a tad over 100k for the day so I guess the 'run' wasn't all that long. I only had one fella really interested who used to have a 400 four. He regretted selling it for $100. One other did comment but just in passing.

Great ride on the toy run last week, not many stock honda's there accept for me and my mates. They drew a lot of looks and fond memories for a lot of people.

My friend (with the '01 W650 to the left of the picture) took me to this house with my most favorite Christmas decorations.

The whole neighborhood was done up, Sesame Street, Disney princesses, Ni Hao Kai Lan, etc, but this was by far the best on the block.

Not my most recent riding, but . . . .  Rode from Houston to Luckenbach for the Harvest Classic vintage moto rally in October.  Those roads were made for motorcycles.
