The motorcycle... the medium...

Not directly related to my photos BUT is very important to me for obtaining many of my photos is my motorcycle.  So... these two links to websites that inspire and sometimes make me drool over the products they sell:

http://bmwmoarally.com/motorcycle-adventure-blog-contest and to www.RevZilla.com


Given that so much traffic is coming to this page, it was odd I didn't have any pictures.  Here are some pics of my motorcycle and some two-wheeled vehicles around town. (photos 127, 128 and 129)

This is Zoe my BMW R1150R, her name was inspired by a Cylon from the show Caprica.  (unfortunately the show wasn't as good as Battlestar Galactica).  This is one great bike.  Anyone considering getting one, get it!  Just make sure the fuel line quick disconnects are replaced (if they haven't been replaced or there is no record of them being replaced - replace them.  They WILL fail.) and the zipties beneath the handlebars are cut (they are installed too tight at the factory).  It is a great street bike AND it is a great touring bike.  I've done over 15000 miles on her in a bit over two years.
