Of a motorcycle. 
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
Filled with many bike pics. :rolleyes :clap
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!
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
But, that's alright. Miles and miles of this would have probably not been good for it! :uhoh
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
Heh.
Wasn't worth it, was it? :wxwax :scratch

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.
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
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?
Bike of course...
A quick rip and I am out of the City. I'll start in the prairies...
hey look at the hay eh
This is thirsty work I must give my KiLleR a drink.
I did not take a shot while crossing this time but it looked alot like this.
Now the last of the prairie on the verge of foothill country
This is just a horrible road ,complete torture to ride on
It is so horrible I must dismount and contemplate pushing my bike through it .
More of my hell.
some more ....
another.
The things I have to endure
God must hate me
I mean just look what I just drove through(look close you can see the road)
And look at what I still have ahead of me...
And it all comes to an end with a cold frosty vile beverage called beer!
Imagine the indignity.
Cheers
I enjoyed your photo ride report ridetwistyroads
