One of these was taken by my wife as we were returning from a day out. 
The other is from a stop through the arboretum while running errands today.

Jackson Hole Wyoming last June. I was kicking myself for not bringing a sled AND a bike. Plenty of snow and sun for both.

1st ride with the wife this year. A friend and his girl friend "her first ride this year" came by the house and we went for a circuit around the Island with a pit stop at the village for a beverage.

Oh, I ran out of gas, but I had the decency to do so at the marina so filled her back up and away we went.  Not very good millage on this new scoot ;D  I'll have to keep an eye on it ::)

Buddy's girl friend did drop the silver bike in my driveway, but luckily no harm done.



This is what it's all about ;D ;D ;D

Sorry for the late reply, Fuzzy.  I haven't checked this thread in a while.  Those first two pictures (also my avatar) were taken on Mt. Evans, just West of Denver.  The road goes up to just over 14K feet.  Those pics were taken on the sections that actually have some shoulder, so there's at least a little room for error (and photo ops ;)).  There's other parts where the "shoulder" is about 1000 feet down the side of the mountain. ;D

Out for a short ride this afternoon.

While riding along through the city streets the other day, my daughter was in her car following me (I wasn't aware of this) and she started taking some pics.  She pulls along side of me, and snapped this one, and lots of others.  I tried posting some of them, but they're too big, but I managed to "shrink" three of them, but they're probably gonna be the size of a postage stamp  >:(.

hey Steve, not to give you a hard time but why wear the helmet, jacket and boots and no gloves! If you were to go down you`d be all skin and bones  :o

Anyway..cool photos - bike is looking sharp and I like the on-the-move-photos  ;)
