Byxelkrok on the northern tip of Oeland at the south east coast of Sweden.








Is that the island that is accessed by the monumentally large bridge ?

I MISS TREES!

Looks like Kentucky.  :smiley: And.. I agree. As nice as it is to visit the desert southwest in the Winter, I get tired of the 20 shades of brown fairly quickly.

If it were on the south east coast of Sweden,- probably yes.

Today, looking at north Ogden and Ben Lomond Peak (snowline is about 7,500-8,000 feet). Bike is sitting at 4,500.  48 degrees. Winter bypassed Utah this year and went straight to the east coast.  1st time Racer has been on the road in about 7 months. Had the rear drive leak fixed at Moto Station in SLC, Ut about 3 weeks ago. Good customer service and seems to be staffed by some serious gearheads. I'll take it back in a month or so and have new rubber put on at both ends.

Well not strictly on topic, I suppose

But a short hastily, & not very well, edited piece of footage on a ride out on one of favorite pieces for road back in 2015.

Love the GoPros and quality is great apart from the sound (apologies), but they are such a PIA to set up on the bike and hit and miss on the FOV, that they are used way less than I would really like to.

Every time I take a day out I usually think about taking them, then cannot be assed

This is a video of my scooter ride yesterday and will give you an idea of what it's like to ride in my twisty sunny backyard.  I was on the slowest scooter (at 49cc, everyone else is 125cc or better) so I ran sweep and can be seen on my scoot at 14-16 seconds into the video.

Out riding Hill Country last summer, with a few stops on the 3 Twisted Sisters, near Fredericksburg and Luckenbach with my sweet co-Pilot!

If you ever get a chance to stay at the Hangar Hotel right at the airport in Fredericksburg, you can watch all the different planes come in, they have a nice 50's style diner, and just a short ride into town.  Great place to hang out.

My birth-father had one that he'd ripped out all the old tube electronics and upgraded the panel to digital, thereby dumping big poundage.  He loved showing off how he could remotely turn on/off the runway lights when needed! 

I don't know the model, but from what I remember it looked and flew (top speed was similar) like the M20K.
