Aka... heading for the high country! Yeah, I've been out a bit... the first ride was last week when my bike broke down (doesn't count). But yesterday the sun broke out and I headed for the high country. 325 km of shear joy with spectacular scenery, clean mountain air and freshly powdered snowscapes. I thought I'd post a bit of a pictorial of my supernatural day!

While passing through the bohemian capitol of the world (Nelson, BC, Canada) I captured this interesting character.


This shot kinda puts it into perspective.


Then, as I pushed further North I stopped by the shores of Kootenay Lake to enjoy the lunch I'd brought with me.


Pressing further on I stopped here, now far up in altitude where the landscape was still frozen.


And (that's a lake behind there)...


And (O. M. G!!!)...


And finally... after descending closer to the valley floor I stopped at a particularly good vantage point and captured this.


And now I'm just gracing you with a preview of this year's version of the Mountain Lady of the North!


Oh, and Frank? Perhaps you now get a sense of why I live where I live! Winter is Winter, but Spring is blissfully Spring!!!!!

So, who's your buddy on the roof-top? Seriously, beautiful pics, bike! Looking forward to seeing it all in July!

I think we've seen those first two pictures before.

I'm glad you're out riding again and you've got an appropriate number of lights on your bike again.

Nice! But... same angles? I can't be imagining it.

The first one is the same angle as before, but I never got one from up front and below before.

(Dang, I should have left them out... they're distracting from the whole of the thread.)

Yes Keith I do understand why you live where you live.

Very beautiful country you live in.

If I could find somewhere with your scenery and a tropical climate I would move there tomorrow.

You never know, we are still thinking of a holiday in Canada next year. I will keep you posted.

Beautiful scenery! Also some interesting hints of what you've been up to during the dark months... Nice!

Your bike's looking really sweet, Keith - I like the red, chrome, black theme.

I like your pipe hanger accents and the swing arm too. Pass. pegs are nice too.

Nice shots as always Keith,can't belive the lake is open like that.Here we still have two feet of hard slush.

Thank for the pictures Keith,

.....and for those fluent in Bohemian, Nelson is a Unique municipality

jh

Hey Keith! You wouldn't happen to have any red touch-up paint sittin' around that I could borrow, would ya?!

Nice pics, ol' buddy!

(...and your bike is lookin' mighty nice too!)

I really dig that Gargoyle. I'm glad you got a shot of him from the front. I've been wanting to see that. All beautiful country and pictures as usual.

Your bike is looking freaking sweet, man. Looking forward to a thread so we can hear about all your new stuff you've done.

Keith, we need to see the front of that place in July!

Beautiful scenery there Keith. Couldn't see myself on a motorcycle with all that snow around but hey thats me and what I'm used to. The bike is lookin great Mate. I bet it is a buzz to get back out on it.

Appreciate the pictures Keith. Both of your bike and the scenery. Lot of nice touches on bike.

nice work on the bike keith.

Fantastic looking bike Keith.

Beautiful scenic area to ride in.

What more could you want.

Go ahead Keith just say it. They only thing you need now is more riding weather.

Spring is beautiful! Glad you enjoyed your ride. We're getting more snow in the Cascades this weekend too.

I wish you all could be enjoying high 60s in the mornings and low 80s in the peak of the day.

Some beautiful scenery you got there Keith, nice pics. Bikes lookin rea nice too.
