Finally got out for a few days mini-tour on the new bike. The views in Shenandoah National Park are spectacular, and the weather was crisp and sunny. A bit chilly in the tent at night though! 🥶

#NoKings
In the crowd at the Washington DC No Kings protest, a hand made sign based on the Virginia State seal, but with an inflatable frog standing over a prone and defeated Trump.

DC was out today! #NoKings
A crowd of protesters in Washington DC, with one holding a sign that says "I never thought I would have to protest an invasion by my own government."

"Welcome to North Dakota - Be Legendary."
September 2024
#SignsonSunday #StateSigns #motorcycle #motorcycles #motorbike #motosky #photography #NorthDakota
A black motorcycle, loaded for a road trip, parked near a sign reading "Welcome to North Dakota - Be Legendary." The background is a vast field of green and gold with large round hay bales scattered into the distance and a cloudless blue sky above. The tiny scale of the bike and sign in the expansive landscape captures a bit of the sense of insignificance one feels riding through these regions.

Took a ride to Rock Hall, MD today. Perfect weather. You can just make out the Chesapeake Bay bridge on the horizon.

A gray and yellow motorcycle facing to the right is parked next to a narrow community boardwalk and beach, with a large bay in the background. It's a sunny day with a few puffy clouds on the horizon. A bridge is visible far in the distance.

Yes, each state makes its own road rules, though most riders tend to keep their lights on regardless. 💡👍

"Welcome to North Carolina"
But for the low quality image, it's hard to believe it's been 15 years since I took this shot.

A black motorcycle parked next to a green North Carolina state welcome sign. The sign includes an image of the NC state flag. There are two other motorcyclists riding through a curve in the road. It's a sunny day, with the trees in Autumn foliage.

It's definitely fun. Go on a weekday to avoid the crowds!

I think the V7 is one of the prettiest of the modern retro bikes out there. Haven't ridden one yet, but definitely will at some point. 👍
