    My Motorcycle
    Last summer on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My 94 BMW R1100RS. Anxious to get back on it. A couple of more days like today, and I'll be taking some new pictures

    that's what that means? After I made that gesture at VespaFitz while he was taking my pic, he took my camera and chucked it in the woods... I could swear it meant something else.

    :D

    Damn are those pigs heavy when they go past horizontal though. Memo to self, try to fall INTO the hill, not down it!!!

    There was no snow when I was there towards the end of June 2004 :D

    granted, this is a little lower down on the backside, but on the way up the hairpins, there wasn't quite as much snow as you have in your shot. What a place!

    Erik, here is my shot of the Stelvio a little higher up in Sept. 2001.
    There is always snow at the top.

    Awesome, simply awesome. Stelvio is on my "gotta do one of these days" list. And of course, it's gotta be done on a Ducati.

    Start riding with Tribeless he can pick his up without even thinking about it. I did not even get off my DRZ before he was back underway. :lift

    This is my old BETA 240 I snapped last summer.

    I re-loaded it into PS and this brings up a question.

    For some reason this shot has no embedded color profile. I looked at a couple of other shots from that time and they also show this lack of color profile.
    Any idea's?

    And for another shot this is one of two KTM 300exe that I own. Again shot last summer with no color profile.

    If it looks familiar to anyone who hangs out in JM's and other AdvRider area's it's actually Neduro's old bike I shipped over....

    My XR400 Dakar bike and 1150Adventure will have to wait for another post....
    I'm off to bed.......

    You can embed the color profile when saving in PS. For some reason that I fail to understand, it doesn't default to the "embed color profile" option all the time.

    Hope you walked away without injury......thumb.gif
