I have used Pirelli Diablo's before. They are a great tyre, I used them on road and track. If you don't use the bike in the wet and do a lot of track days the Diablo Corsa are superb for fast road / track use. They won't last as long as the Diablo's and aren't as good in the wet.

that's what that means? After I made that gesture at VespaFitz while he was taking my pic, he took my camera and chucked it in the woods... I could swear it meant something else.

:D

Damn are those pigs heavy when they go past horizontal though. Memo to self, try to fall INTO the hill, not down it!!!

[blackwaterstudio]

Me and a friend are planing to ride the entire parkway this year, from beginning to end.

The Stelvio Pass in June 2004. The red vfr is mine.

[DoctorIt]

There was no snow when I was there towards the end of June 2004 :D

http://doctorit.smugmug.com/photos/5818649-L.jpg

granted, this is a little lower down on the backside, but on the way up the hairpins, there wasn't quite as much snow as you have in your shot. What a place!

[Kbike]

Erik, here is my shot of the Stelvio a little higher up in Sept. 2001.
There is always snow at the top.
http://stripe.colorado.edu/~lines/StelEast01aw.JPG

Awesome, simply awesome. Stelvio is on my "gotta do one of these days" list. And of course, it's gotta be done on a Ducati.

Start riding with Tribeless he can pick his up without even thinking about it. I did not even get off my DRZ before he was back underway. :lift

[Bodwick]

This is my old BETA 240 I snapped last summer.

I re-loaded it into PS and this brings up a question.

For some reason this shot has no embedded color profile. I looked at a couple of other shots from that time and they also show this lack of color profile.
Any idea's?

[Bodwick]

And for another shot this is one of two KTM 300exe that I own. Again shot last summer with no color profile.

If it looks familiar to anyone who hangs out in JM's and other AdvRider area's it's actually Neduro's old bike I shipped over....

My XR400 Dakar bike and 1150Adventure will have to wait for another post....

You can embed the color profile when saving in PS. For some reason that I fail to understand, it doesn't default to the "embed color profile" option all the time.

Love all the bikes. Here's my rig at Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway returning from the 2004 Run For The Wall and Rolling Thunder. At this point, I had just past the 6,000 mile point for just this one trip (Alabama to Ontario, California to Washington DC and return to Alabama).

It's done the Dragon's Tail at Deal's Gap as well.

Beeeaauuutiful!!! Which way did you go? North or toward the Smokies?
How long has it been closed... I was there in mid January and it was all clear, but then again, this March has been a cold one!!
Ride safe... Ride free...:smile6

The winter gates, I mean. They finnaly opened the winter gates. They're only open to Mitchell right now, which is north from asheville. There's about 6 miles through Asheville that remain open year round, weather permiting. But it's clogged with commuters and such, and there's no views or elevation. I'm hoping they open the BRP south of Asheville soon, as it's my favorite direction to go. Soooooo nice up there!!!

Whatcha ride? Got any pics?

[shaman]

OK... not too familiar with that section, sure would be nice to relocate to the Asheville area though.
I have a 2002 Triumph Bonneville America, a sweet bike, though not as smooth, precise and refined as a BMW, it looks fat, like a cruiser, but will blow away most Asian cruisers and ALL American bikes in the twisties. Mine is set up low, so the pipes do drag, but hey, the sparks are cool!!
I'll post a new picture of her this weekend. I'll get out tomorrow for a few hours anyway.

Bonne's are great motorcycles, I love them triples. I've ridden a daytona and a sprint. Both are more bike then I *need*. Especially the daytona....but that sprint would have been an execelent sport tourer.

Shot sparks (to the utter shock and awe of my riding partner!) from my left footpeg a couple weeks ago. Gotta really leeeaan that bmw to get the pegs down! But, yes, sparks are cool. :wink

It's a 95 ATK 406, a beast of a desert racer. It was taken by my wife awhile ago. I love looking at ride pics from others, you have some nice shots.

[Seymore]

Well I no longer have this ride. Had this pup up to ~115mph on a straight, but shakey in the corners. Sorta wish I still had her...

Bought her running, but needing a lot of TLC. Before and after PICs were taken about 30 days apart.

Did you take it home with you?

Jeremy,
I took a look at your web site and you have some very nice shots in your portfolio. Do you have some idea of what type of photography you are going to specialize in or do you plan to shoot on a free lance basis?

I recently started a photography business (take a look at my web site) and I mainly shoot sports & action and landscapes but am availble for other jobs depending on assignment.

If you are near Boone, North Carolina there is a beautiful area called Vail Cruis (sp) that has some great photo opps.

Good luck brother!

Nah. It's on a tour of dealerships. Won't be available until May. But it's
pretty sweet. 14K redline. Compact and light, the cockpit still feels good.

Ha...thanks! I'd always wanted to get some of that super fancy epoxy for my garage floor, but due to being somewhat cheap:rolleyes...I ended up using one from Home Depot (BEHR). It may not be quite as durable, but I'll take my chances.

In terms of what it took: I had to wash the floor thoroughly...then use their concrete etching solution (acid), then a primer coat, then 1-3 epoxy coats. It took me an entire weekend...which included the initial removal of all my accumulated junk. My neighbors thought I was having a garage sale:scratch

Thanks for the compliment.:thumb

Yup, it's an R1200C. I think it was too groovy-looking for BMW. They had to stop making it. I always liked the style of your bike too. Classic, clean, tough-looking.

Here's another shot of the 'C'. I changed the bars right away to lower ones. I couldn't get used to the high bars that came with it. It's really fun to ride.

The yellow bike was my old one. A reissue of an old drag bike, the Eliminator. That one was fun too.

Heck, anything on 2 wheels is fun! :D

Started out on a CB360T:

Then outgrew it and got an SV650S and added a Sharkskinz fairing:

. . . Then after crashing it, I painted it blue:

. . . Then after crashing it again, I got a V-Star 650. It didn't perform too well in our Canadian climate though :rofl :

Just last night, for the first time in weeks I had time to just relax and think (work and stuff sux), and I suddenly realized that I've been without a motorbike in this forsaken upside down country for the past several months! It was as if I awoke from a dream, sweaty, upset...

I just keep telling myself: you don't miss your GSadventure, you don't miss your GSadventure.

Hey Erik, my antipodean colleague!

Hang out and enjoy that wonderful country. You'll return soon and we'll help you get set up with a GS. Look on the bright side: they've improved the gearing ratio in the '08s.

We'll have you back up in no time. Meanwhile, enjoy the clean air, ocean views, pleasant people and mediocre coffee!

There's plenty to do and see, and riding in the city isn't really all that much fun, so most of the time, I'm ok being bikeless for a while.

I do love that all-red adventure for 08 :nod

and by the way, where do you get off callng the coffee mediocre? have you been to crapbucks lately? blech, i'm glad the aussie's are more european about their coffee - quality, not quantity (like back home, where you order in gallons). speaking of which, i'm off to the newsroom cafe for my morning hit.
