Knowing that photos usually don't do justice to being there might I say.....Poor you! That looks awesome!
later, Tom.
But, what do I know?

Dang... I had to check out all the photo's just to see what a horrible day you had....
It's disgusting...
here in NE Ohio, that is.... going down to somewhere around 5 or 6F (no idea in C's) tonite....
Deer tracks in the snow all over the yard because of all the rain in December, lots of nice green grass to chomp on.
Scary to get up to go to the bathroom at 3AM and find yourself staring eyeball to eyeball with Bambi's mom digging in the flower bed outside the bedroom window! I think they've figured it's easier if they come close to the house and set off the outside spotlights....
Trade ya some snow for some time at the beach! <G>

I had forgotten that most of you are surrounded by that lovely white fluffy stuff right now, now I feel real bad ………….. ok that did not last long feel better now. I think we actually take what we have for granted at times. I can say that I am very fortunate to be able to live in a place where I am able to ride all year round and as you can see we have some great places to ride. Thanks for all the great comments on the photos.

Only thing that would make me more jealous would be actually seeing a motorcycle in any of the pictures. I have to take at least a few pics of the bike when I ride in nice areas like that. A pic of the bike always ties the whole trip together for me when I review the pics.

Yes but that is the next bridge down the road. I think this is a bit narrow as it goes down to the river bed. The height would be ok I would think.

As usual, great photos Dave. We are still cold and icy here, but it is a good time to work on the bike.

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing you bit of the world with us. I would ponder to bet that the vast majority of us here will never get to see any of South Africa except through photos. Oh, and that sure is a beautiful bike you got there too.

Is it not strange how small the world has got but yet is too big for most of us to see sights and places we would love too? I enjoy seeing photo from other places as like the most of us I would not otherwise get to see those areas.

I try and update the photos when ever possible as we do have great places around this area. The only thing is a times I sort of take some of it for granted and don’t realize how lucky I am.

Thanks for posting the pics of the bike. I am truly jealous now. It's currently -5 degrees f with about 4 inches of snow on the ground here. I sure hope the weather breaks soon.
