I had to watch the twins today anyway. Had a couple of 3 year old apprentices helping me weld up some pannier racks... Can't wait till Clints ride next weekend.

Great Pics, and looks like a fun ride ride. Did you have a play on the beach after you were done with the photos? As Motu said I can't imagine it looking that way for long, I'd certainly be having a play

As the saying goes ... "take only photos, leave only footprints" do wheelprints count

Yah - I did some power slides. Couple of grands worth of cameras on board makes me a little more circumspect - but one or two dontachknow.

Wheelprints below the high tide mark count.

Do it easy. there is a bloke that does the Capital Coast adventure on a Honda CB250 Super Hawk with Knobbies - he kills it too.

Maybe thats because you'd need the odd knee joint here and spinal section there regreased before you'd realise that sports bikes can be very comfortable.
I guess it depends whose riding it.
I hear ya though, I test rode a V-Rod and fark me, It was NIIICCCEEEEEEE!

it's the wrists that get me after an hour - and the knees.

Kinda nice to have the option though (be it a cruiser for you?), but I know what your saying about being able to get off the road and into more interesting situations.

Have not read all the posts so some one may have already asked but what lens mm have you used? Nice looking country up that way. Sort of reminded me of the Pacific Highway?? south of Carmel.
