You guys are to funny. Greg asks if I'm working up to an iron butt ride. He knows I've been doing iron butt rides since long before I ever heard of that organization and I believe he has to. Don't need no stinkin gas receipts to know how far I've ridden in a day, a weekend, a month or a year.

2k tyin to pressure me into getting back in to my photo ride reports. I really do enjoy looking back on those pics years later...reliving the memories and enticing others who've never been to get out there and rider longer distances and see things they've never saw and have always wanted to. OK, 2k, my next photo ride report is dedicated to you buddy!

Smkymtnboy (really like that username) hasn't saw enough of my ride reports to know that 90% of my pics are taken on the fly. It's a physical endurance to ride for 12-15 hours a day with a Nikon hanging around your neck.....especially when it's a week or ten days in a row!

For Smkymtnboy and other, newer members on this forum that may be interested, I present a compilation that Ernie did a couple of years ago when I thought I was done riding due to back issues....
http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=77699.0For me and some of my close friends here (they're in many of these ride reports) it's all about the journey and not so much the destination. You want to see this country get off the interstates and get on those back roads....those two lane highways.....see the country.
Going to a GTG travel out of your way just a bit to see other sites and then take a different route home.....experience it first hand.
