    I like it!

    Cool! But here in upstate NY, doing 100 on the wrong side of the road in February will end badly for you in a hurry!! Looks like beautiful
    countryside, I like the way the scenery changes as you went along...looking forward to more posts.

    Now I have to go outside and shovel snow so I can go to work.

            There is Phil, but first i need to get past the argument over copyright infringement for the soundtrack in the video. Apparently Booker T Jones is a little unhappy.

            Hopefully John Kay wont get all outta shape over the next one...

                    Reminds me very much of riding on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge, here in the pacific northwest. Always a fun ride. Thanks for sharing.

                        That's some

                        great scenery, thanks for sharing!

                        It looks like the authorities like making corner speed suggestions in your country as well as they do here with the predictably low speeds.

                          Happy summer to you! Booker T sounded good.
                          Looked like your leader couldn't quite decide where in the lane he wanted to ride.

                              Thats why i give him plenty of room when we ride Max rides a '71 Bonny that has preferential shares in Shell Oil. The weaving is to ensure an oil free path for the skinny back tyre.

                              Funny thing about the scenery is, as you'll all know, when you ride an area often, you dont really notice it.
                              Wasnt till i started looking through the numerous gopro clips from that weekend, and looking past the road, and the bike in front, that i remembered how beautiful the area is. Dont really get time to sightsee when riding the twistys.

                              Ive got lots more footage, but its from the same area, and it get a bit repetitive after a while when just seeing it in videos. Much more fun being there.
