This is from a ride-about I took from Florida to Washington (the state) and back a few years ago. Feel free to post up yours

For me, reply #7 and #9, number 7 looks a bit like the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
I love every one of them...

Not a highway shot but (I hope) in the spirit of the post.
(And just a sprinkle of self indulgence)

This is a great post mate.
I get sick to death of posts about adding 1/16th of an inch to a perfectly capable fairing screen to reduce "excessive buffet" on a bike that's sold after 4 years with 3,000 miles on the clock. How do they know ? They never ride the bastard !!!
Those shots contain an excitement and a romance that only a lonely hiway (as you eloquently describe) can provide...Love that #7

Good one.

I feel so blessed to live in an area where I can ride many roads with little traffic. This picture was taken last week SW of Manhattan, KS. I was stopped by the flagger for about 20 minutes. In that time the only traffic were the trucks connected to the road resurfacing. I when I could proceed I was the only vehicle there to follow the pilot vehicle.

Those two good looking sheep were there when I went through 3 weeks back.
Reckon you're pretty close to the reception centre @ 71 deg N

Good Kansas shot Pete. Do you remember anymore specifically where in Kansas as I don't have a clue as to where you took that picture, could be quite a few areas of Kansas.

Unfortunately not, it could of been somewhere west of Wichita but I'm not sure.

West of Wichita pretty much nails it down. Lol

Cripes!!!
Those FN Scotland and FN Queensland ones look dangerously similar. I would not have picked them apart.
