Thanks. Everyone was raving over that rear single side swing arm. Next year we'll meet. I'm going up two days early just so I have some time in that museum with my camera! I'll probably stay an extra day or two and ride some of those roads. I was going to ride the 717 miles this year, but the night before leaving, my ignition switch failed, and in tracking that down, I noticed several not so safe wires. Decided to put in my new harness. The bike will be good as new for next year! Our club may even have a tent there next to our Miami buds, Old Soul, Young Blood. We're Vintage Iron Club in the Palm Beach FL area. Our club is bikes older than 25 years. I'm bringing a longer lens too, so I hope to get some shots of that on the track...you doing the parade lap?

Went to Barber, saw your bike, our whole crew of 3 bike clubs from South Florida thought it was way cool. See you next year!


Wow, thanks! Thats a fantastic picture! Wish we could have met. I'll be there next year. Its a long 26 hour ride but I'll be there. You can see Frankenstuff's point cover really good in that one.

Shot of the wife out there today....    :-X



I think you should be nominated for bike of the month, the calendar, and get a commemorative watch, maybe even a hat.

Did a little year end clean & polish before winter storage, then off for the last ride of the year.  While clean, might as well take a pic  ;D.

Wow Druzli stunning especially the top one in front of the ocean. Add that to the Calendar thread please I think we need a whole month dedicated to Iceland ;). Need one more photo (portrait if possible) to make it three.

Druzli, I am developing quite a stress based on your pictures - scenery is one thing, but your pictures stand out a lot!

Keep it up  ;D

Thanks 70CB750 - Been shooting photographs since 1996, hope it shows. If you guys like Iceland, I have many photos from my area here: http://gusti.is. I will make my interest come together now, bikes and photography :)
