Silly Tiger... Hama asked if I had forgotten something.... I assumed he meant from the Tuscaloosa ride. Just guessing, but he might have been referring to something nobody outside of the Southern US gets much chance to see... genuine Southern Belles... taken while cruisin' round town during the annual Pilgrimage week.

ok - one more for Hama... the manager/wife-of-the-co-owner of our local biker friendly bar and her sister, taken on a ride to Montgomery for a stamp unveiling at the post office. (Yes, we have a post office, but it wouldn't be any fun just to ride across town, now, would it?)

Beautiful Pic's Atlas.
I already know what B.C. is like since I have visited your city several times. I have driven out there on two occasions and know what some of the scenic view from the mountain road's are like. We have friends and relatives out in and around Vancouver so hopefully some day I can ride out there and experience what it's like on a Motorcycle.

I rode on Highway 118 today between 28 and 35, it was a real nice stretch of rd. Photos don't really show the rd just some of the scenery on my trip.

Hi there Jim,

Loved the Alps pics.
I'm planning a bike trip from Portugal to the Swiss Alps (approx 3794Km in 10 days) with a couple of friends in 2008. (see attach for trip map)
We're planning to stop for 4 days in Lausanne and visit the Alps from there.

Any suggestions will be appreciated
