Dave T's View on the World -- A Photo Journal
Ten Years of Riding -- About 160,000 Miles -- Life is Good!!!!
I came back to motorcycle riding in April 1999 after a hiatus of about 17 years; I stopped riding after a pretty big accident back in my earlier years. It is great living in the mountains of Colorado since I can often just head west on the roads with less traffic. So, I've been back into riding for almost 10 years now, and a great 10 years it has been on the following bikes:
99 Honda Valkyrie -- Spring 99 to Spring 06; ~50k miles
02 Honda Gold Wing -- Spring 02 to Present; ~104k miles
06 Yamaha FJR1300 -- Spring 06 to Present; ~10k miles
Plus a few rides on rentals (Gold Wings--California in Fall 01 and Las Vegas/Death Valley in Spring 05; Harleys in Hawaii) and on my old friend Mark's ST1300 back in WV in Fall 07.
Lots of great riding to some great places in the United States and Canada; however, the rides were made even better by being able to make them with some great friends from the Colorado High Country Cruisers (HCC) and the GL1800 forum sponsored by HondaDirectLine. And, I must truly thank my riding buddy John/Smoky -- we have made so many great trips together (undoubtedly more than 125k miles). They have been really good times and may there be many more!
So, lean back, relax, and enjoy the slideshow -- it has been a great 10 years and 160,000 miles.
