Hey look here. There's at least one operation that takes motorcycle photos roadside. I think we should make sure we know where he is, or at least that he knows where we are. Lots of great riding pics as we pass :)

I didn't find any others in the area. Not like Deal's Gap that has several

Glad to help. I'm sure they's a big group eager to do it anyway, and just like when teams were picked in school I'd be last one picked!

I know that I've ridden less in the last year primarily because I've moved 5 times, started a new business, and am raising, and trying to support a small family. It has absolutely nothing to do with my desire to, or not to ride. I am a husband and father long before I am a biker. This comes from someone who's ridden 46/50 states before 30 yo.
Dang young un! Lay off the booze. Truthful. Direct. Seemingly unprovocative, 'Cept maybe the "before 30" part. Must be what a torture victim feels as a drill bit pierces their shin bone.

I cain't even remember before 30. It was like a drunken blur.

But this evening I watched the sky fade from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I thought about a salmon I caught a long time ago, and how gray he was, and how I named him Flint and let him go.
I think that happened before 30.

Yeah but he's got to be fast, get ahead of everyone, stop, set up, take the shots and pass everyone to do it again for the next corner.

He can do that. He shaves his head so that he can be more aerodynamic.
