My newest purchase. a 1985 Honda Aspencade.

Scenic on the first hot day of the season.



Looking SW, way off in the distance, 'bout center image is a wisp of paper mill smoke. That's my home town.



And looking SE, there's Mt Hood looking grand and impressive as always.

Great pics Sky! Ain't it beautiful where you live!

Yes it is, and I consider myself truly blessed to be living in such a beautiful corner of the planet.

Absolutely beautiful. And the landscape aint bad either. =-) You really do live in one of the most beautiful places in the country. And congrats on that new bike!

Great pics.

Tanks Boss!

I been a good boy for a very, very long time. And though the bike has a few good and practical reasons,
it's also a whole lotta fun! Yeah, I don't even much mind the killer sunburn I got. Not much.

Great ride !
Awesome scenery, too.

How interesting that so many people who are open and liberal ride bikes....

I do too! But Mines a push-bike.
- It's got a trailer though, for all my tools!

I think it must be something to do with being open and exposed, wind in your face and bugs in your teeth, that feeling of skill with the balancing, the rush of speed (even on a bicycle, downhill can be SSOOO much fun...) and the fact that voyaging on two-wheels really brings home the value of this beautiful planet and the liberty neccessary to fully enjoy it. You also appreciate technological advances like leak-proof rainsuits....

My hero, Le Ché, had his eyes fully opened on two wheels. So much more intimacy with strangers than huddled in a Hummer, or skulking in an SUV....
