Someone has to keep the grass from growing down the median - might as well be me.

I fantasize about riding on roads like that. Florida can be a bit monotone. I don't usually listen to music when I ride but I think "ombra mai fu" would be appropriate.

I'm not sure I understand the question Dusty.  Actually, I hope I don't understand the question......

 Not sure I understand the answer  Just thinking Canada could pay you for keeping an eye on those back roads

Inspiring! Thanks Nick.

It's spring here now, just got to get out more, where the road is redder, & the greens are greyer, but the peace is just as sublime.

 Are those red roads as slick as our red roads when it is raining ?

Is it just a matter of perspective or is that an unusually wide tread tire on the rear? Most of the intended use of my Crud-Orado will be forest service and state unpaved roads here 'bouts and your tire looks the business for that.
Tales from the "Dark Side"?

Slicker! A little rain settles the dust, a little more turns it to soft glue. This coats the wheels until scraped off by the mudguard & swingarm, gets into the brake  calipers so no brakes. Only got a kilometer  once we hit the plain & turned back. At least the creek crossings & the riverbeds cleaned some of that stuff off, so we made it back out of there. An interesting experience.

It's an optical illusion Todd.  The rear tyre is just a standard 4x18 Dunlop K70.  I find that they work really well under most circumstances and give me plenty of feel and grip on unpaved roads.

But - I'm not usually travelling at light speed either.
