Of a motorcycle. :D

I got wet. I got airborne. More then once on both counts. :huh :clap

I do ride alot. I don't exactly have a dirtbike. But I never let that stop me from riding in dirt. :uhoh

I should warn you - this will be a long post. :rofl
:D

34448051-M.jpg

Filled with many bike pics. :rolleyes :clap

34448060-M.jpg

The camera for the day was my trusty A80, the big 'un stays home on the adventure days. :wink

That's all the damage I did to myself crossing the stream - not to bad. Water went flying everywhere though - certianly past helmet hight.

Cpf? Slow shutter? Naaahhh...... :scratch

It's a pretty state no matter how bad the pics! :D

34448081-M.jpg

Had to pull off the side saddle bags to fit through this one.

But it was totally worth it.

She looks so happy there, doesn't she? :lust

Bout this time, I was wish I had brought the nice camera....:cry

34448128-M.jpg

But, that's alright. Miles and miles of this would have probably not been good for it! :uhoh
34448144-M.jpg

And now, finnaly, as a grand reward for making all the way through my boring day off photo's, you get one of ME. :rofl

34448131-M.jpg

Heh.

Wasn't worth it, was it? :wxwax :scratch

    Chris, I really enjoyed your adventure.clap.gifbeautiful. Looks like a great compliment the camera and a bike! I'm so jealous! I'm too old and probably kill myself on a bike ! Love the off roads tho.

    Thanks.

    You know, I really enjoy the out of the way roads too. I need to something more like a dirtbike or dual purpose to fit that kind of riding though - the street bike's a bit heavy, and the sport touring tires are lots of fun on loose rocks and gravel. :D

    As far as the camera goes, yes, the two obessions certianly go hand in hand. Shame I'm not willing to transport the D70 over such terrain though, just seems to risky... :uhoh

    I do not like traveling with my DSLR either the trusty A80 goes with me on my trips.

    In fact I took it out just yesterday. And of course I took a few pics.

    Hmm what to take the truck or the bike?
