my 2017
« on: December 31, 2017, 09:26:59 AM »
I didn't post much this year but had a pretty good motorcycling year.
A trip down south on the 68 loop concoction with the right hand under the seat shifter, a few trips on the 04 raTi, the '14 V7S I bought new in 2016 just rolled 12,000 miles. Most of these miles are on work trips where I bring the bike in my van and explore on my free time. I am lucky working in Corpus Christi at the moment at the Army Depot so I will close out the year with pleasant riding. I also bought a Nevada while I was working in Poland for a month or so. My Jawa there was fun riding as well. Rode in Czech Republic and Germany a bit while out there in Poland. Also Canada, Toronto area.
Here's a photobucket link.

Great photos. Is that a Givi fairing on the V7?

One question JB, are you paying anything to use photo bucket?

It's just that if I click on the link it gives me mainly pop up adds and a small version of what you uploaded with no way back.
Or is it photobucket getting back at me for refusing to pay ransom on my pictures.

Anyway heres wishing you a good 2018
Cheers

Roy,
I don't pay for photobucket and sorry about the ads. I really hate photobucket except they make it easy to embed a picture on this forum.
I have some photos on Amazon now but I can't figure out how to embed, I seem only able to do links.
Maybe I will use Amazon for the album and only use photobucket for what I want to show up full size on my post.
