Spud, here is what I like about your photos. Several years ago, some artist took a random sofa and placed it in different geographic locations around the country (maybe even the world) and took photos at each location. Even though there was not much reasoning for a sofa, I liked the idea because I like photos of geographic locations.

Your photos are more localized, but seem to convey the same idea, but with more purpose--a motorcycle in different geographic locations; more purpose because that is how you got to the places (sofas don't go anywhere)!!

That's an interesting perspective, Culcune.

I post photographs of my motorcycles in various motorcycle forums because people in those forums like motorcycles, and enjoy viewing photographs of them. I also enjoy viewing the photographs, which remind me of riding to various, scenic locations via the motorcycle. In many instances, the only motorized vehicle which could reach those locations was a motorcycle.

I would love to visit you sometime, Allen. Of course, you are always invited to come to Idaho and ride the Zong; I will show you some nice trails and beautiful scenery.

Maybe the three of us could find a common mid-point.

Idaho is ideally located between British Columbia and Kansas. If you both can make it, we can go riding together. Weld can bring one of his bikes down from Abbotsford, and Allen can ride the Zong.

I have never been to Idaho or Utah. 1200 miles to drive.

Spud,
Looks like you have a trail tech vapor on the Honda. How do you like it? I was thinking of putting one on the TMEC.

Then it's about time you made it out here.

I love my Trail Tech Vapor computer. It's especially nice to have the temperature sensor for the coolant on a bike with radiators. In addition, I really like having a tachometer, since the CRF250X motor can rev over 12,000 rpms. I try to keep engine rpms reasonable so I don't punish my valve train.
