A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)
Discussion
A couple of photos from the 2200 mile ride from California to Minnesota:
Short stop just outside of Big Horn National Forest - really surprised by this place, great road through. This is on the exit where the road starts to level out and the ridges get smaller!
Devils Tower - impressive stuff and worth seeing, though its just a volcanic formation in the middle of nowhere, so unless you want to walk around, there isnt much else there. However, the road to and from it (the loop if you check a map) is stunning. Fast wide sweepers and great visibility. Great ride to and from!
Short stop in Yellowstone. Cut the corner through the park and didnt get the chance to go to see the sights. Did see Elk, Buffalo and a few eagles and I didnt realize there was a giant lake there (which you cant see here).

How do you ride out there in the summer? I could barely step outside when I visited. Enjoyed Yas Marina, just too hot!
Too hot for me to ride during summer day time. But in summer, track days tend to start 6am and finish about 10am to avoid worst heat... still gets very hot and sweaty though! mikedxb said:

Fantastic, photos like that have really made me miss a getaway roadtrip this year.Short stop in Yellowstone. Cut the corner through the park and didnt get the chance to go to see the sights.

A boring photo as always from me but probably the last decent run out for the year. Last weekend when the weather was nice, i have noticed a massive increase in police camera action towards the end of the riding season 
Me too, got 2 tickets in 2 weeks, both in the Car on different dual carriageways (saw both the vans but not soon enough!) and both doing 79mph in a 70 limit, got a speed awareness course for the first in Hampshire, waiting to hear on the other in Gloucestershire.

Fancied a monkey bike for a while as a fun little thing, it’s mega! Love it, haven’t ridden a 125 in years, for where I live it’s great fun around the lanes. Next year we’ve got quite a big trip planned, The Tuono is such a great deal at the mo, it was a easy sell!!
An unlikely duo but got home from work early and it was rather sunny. Given I hadn’t ridden the B-King (didn’t even test ride it) I though I would nip down to Rye and meet a mate who lives local. Turns out it absolutely pissed down so yeah, garage queen got a tad filthy !
Enjoyed following the little stink wheel for a few miles to nice little farm shop for a cuppa.
