what bike? & miscellaneous pics
« on: June 28, 2024, 12:38:11 AM »
Nice looking bike spotted today.
 Anyone recognize this?


Strange hill , think I was in Blue Ridge area.


Cool Pic of my fellow road warriors resting up for tomorrow's contest on these bigdam grades!


Daughter was accosted by 2 blue hair biddies from this tour bus. Looking at our small dog..."They surely don't allow dogs in this hotel?!"


then a gaggle of them swarmed the complimentary tray of pastries by the coffee pots.

Looking again at that tour bus...
I cannot imagine driving that baby on American highways - the way they are today!

Bike maybe a Yamaha, but that’s just a guess.

Tour bus: once travelled down from middle England to south of Spain in one hit in one of those. Not an experience I’d ever care to repeat!  Driver had 2 CDs, Dire Straits Sultans of Swing & UB40’s first played end to end constantly. Any track from either one comes on the Radio and I’m immediately transported back to that hellish journey 🤣

You mean THIS Yamaha Tracer MT-09 Fj-09 900? But maybe a different model year since I notice the front turn signals are in a slightly different position and the frame around the engine is slightly different.

I watched as he rode into this massive truck & food stop. Discounted and took several minutes locking his jacket and full-face helmet with a cable before going inside.
Pretty bike...the gold forks and wine color panels.
