Greetings all. Now a signed up noob and making an attempt at becoming a contributor for a change. Per Tourmeister's induction requirement: herewith "some introductory stuff with pictures"
NW Houston (Cypress) is home. Run two, near-identical DR650's. There is a story behind that.
Funny how the character of two identical bikes can be so darn different! There's another story to be told there too.
Seen, read and deeply envied some pretty incredible trips by the forum contributors over the years. Holy cow! I have nothing of that scale to offer.
Did make it up to Arkansas in early June. You know... FSR's and that sort of stuff. Had a thoroughly excellent time. More river crossings in 4 days than a man could shake a stick at. Most importantly, it has given me access to 'some stuff with pictures' with which I hope to qualify. My son finally got around to compiling a short video from a few of the clips. Dropped by to show off his handiwork earlier today which spurred me onto publishing my TWT handshake effort. Will drop that here once I figure out / sign up for a media storage site. In the meantime you'll have to put up with a limited run of stills.
Planning to take a frostbite ride out west and back (all backroads) as far as 4 days off in Dec will allow me on a DR. Had put in many hrs of planning when out of the blue Hail dropped his Dirty Sisters post.... and that has ruined everything! Put my pitiful plans to shame but I fear it's all a bit further out than I think I can get accomplished, and not entirely confident of the track right now. Not having tackled the cold head-on before, be interested to hear the opinion of others. Is my timing really poor? Should I be planning on some garage-enclosed engine-maintenance or woodworking activity instead? I do realize of course, that if you were from anywhere other than the Gulf Coast, you'd never even ask this question.
Enjoy the pics. Incredibly beautiful area!
This is what most of the roads offered up. You'll probably remember end of May and early June we still seemed to be getting our fair share of rain back then.
The rain itself always held off while we rode. No complaints.
Many beautiful semi-derelict barn subjects...
Here's the typical water-crossing we encountered
Oark Cafe... a popular meet'n-eat spot
All roads converge at the Oark Cafe.
50% of us are cautious....the other 50% are not!
Looking for Rattlesnake falls
Not Rattlesnake falls... but we called it a win!
