sputnik Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Fall color is ready to peak and I took a short motorcycle ride today after work with a couple friends from the fire department. Just thought I'd share some pics I took from my bike ala Tom Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted September 30, 2006 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2006 Great looking part of the country. Not even close, we have hot summers and less hot winters, hadn't seen snow here in 15 years. For fall color we have to travel north, pine trees don't change color unless you burn them, also have to drive 10 hours to see a mountain. Still haven't figured why we live here ?

Marvel Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Just a hint of change starting here in North Georgia. Foothills of the Smokies. I love it here. While visiting my mom in Wisc. one October, I stopped to visit friends over by Lacrosse. Beautiful small town with a lake in the middle, sits between three ridges and the Fall color was super. I kept thinking we could move back up here, it's beautiful. Then I remembered the 25-35 below zero parts of the year. Nah... Nice country Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumpelstiltskin Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Here are some of my favorite fall colors....... the colors you see in a nice Florida peacock bass. We caught several peacocks this morning, along with an 8 lb. largemouth and some others in the 4 to 6 lb. range. WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hey Rick, it's nice to hear from you. It sounds like you're happy with the move to Florida. I took a Ducati out for a test ride up to the ski area today. No pictures though (both hands on the bars []). Let's see some pictures of those eastern hardwoods. I meant trees OB [].

sputnik Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 here's the Ride R60? Nice. Was the video shot from the sidecar? Hey sputs, what kinda scooter ya got? Well, that one's practically a scooter. It's my old high school sweetheart - a '72 Honda cb350 that I drug out and restored about two years ago. I've had it up to 85 mph or so since the rebuild and that's about as far as I'd want to take those 35 year old parts. It's a great bike around town and I've pushed Harleys on twisty roads with it. I tested out a Ducati 620 Monster this morning and it wasn't even breathing hard at 90. The 620 is the baby Ducati and has a reputation for being underpowered but I loved it. It's only about 40 pounds heavier than my Honda and way lighter and faster than my old Kawasaki Concours. I think I got bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostinozz Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 A friend had one when I was in high school. It was gold if I'm not mistaken. He got it in '72 and rode the crap out of it, never washed it or turned a tap on it, just put gas in it. Ahhh, the good 'ol days before I could afford a Harley...yes, I rode a Honda too....up untill I got creamed by a big nasty Plymouth Fury III. Buy the Duke and you'll never regret it. I rode a friends '82 a few times when I lived in Scotland and was very impressed. I can imagine what the new ones are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
