R65 in summer's evening glow
« on: January 22, 2011, 07:15:06 AM »
It's been about a month since i taken the R65 for a blast through the local twisties, so i geared up & took a late afternoon ride through the Royal.

There's a great little spot that i always look at (but have never stopped) that would be a great place to snap some pics & just take in the fresh air. So today i stopped & took a few pics.

Great run through the park, not much traffic but two cop cars doing the rounds. Might have to do the afternoon blast more often.

Nice.

I took some fall pictures up at the "Dragon" that came out pretty well.  Perhaps I should post 'em here?

Please do! Being a photographer (no, I haven't got a 'real' job....  ;D ) I'd love to see everyone's favourite R65 shot. Or is there already a thread for this?

Very nice, indeed!  Thanks for the pictures!

No, there isn't already a thread.  But here is one of my favorite shots of my bike.   That is the Wabash River in the background.

Yeah, I do know how lucky I am to make a living from something I love so much.

Sad to say, I've got no R65 to contribute as yet, though.  :(
Nice stuff, dav. I might start a thread specifically for the photos.  :)
