Big camera don't take great pictures the person behind the camera takes great pictures. So take your camera and your bike and find a nice back group and just shoot a whole bunch of them You might try sitting on the ground and keeping your bike to the right hand of the shot for one of the pictures. Then show us some of your work

Good luck

Well - I should have gotten it this past Tuesday at our riding club meeting, but I had to miss because of local elections (I work with the board of registrars). I asked her to give it to our club president to post on our website, but they haven't shown up yet I'll go by her office tomorrow if I get a chance.

Wow!!
Uncle B, looks like the driver's area caught fire. I hope the driver got out safe and sound.

Carlos, don't know when I'll be going next but I'll try to get good shots!!
If I get to go, I'll be going somewhere on the 18th, but don't have a clue where we're going! So much for good planning.

I have a pic that my motorcycle friend sent me yesterday of Mt. Fuji with a bit of snow at the top. Winter is just around the corner!!

I known winter is almost here. I've taken my bike apart and did all the maintance that it needs and wxed the hell out of it. Waiting on an air filter to put it back together again.

But let me give you one more piece of advice "keep it simple"

Well, another 4~5 months for comfortable riding - Mt. Fuji looks picturesque about this time of year, but getting cold.

The pics are: spring, summer, autumn, early winter and real winter (only this pic = poster of the Japan Alps)

I've seen Mt Fuji from a distance ... (a hotel room in the middle of Tokyo) ...

I really need to win the lottery so that I can spend more time traveling and less time sitting here in the office!!!

Kay: thanks for keeping the thread active as always.

scrimmer: thanks a lot! Is Upstream still busy?

inspiron: my 24-7 freedom allows me to go blow the froth off a few (to start with) when you come - send me PM when. Btw, did you buy the lottery?

Oh yea, I've got an Euro-Millions ticket at home.

Scrimmer, thank you for your complement (or was this for MY pics??? LOL).

RB, when you get guests from this forum, can I stick around?!

Carlos, I'll keep your advice in mind!!
Haven't been able to get out of the city since, but next time....

Inspiron, sending lottery vibes your way....~~~~~~

This is an OLD house that is now a very cozy and nice restaurant where I had lunch when I went riding with my friends this summer.

I love these places!!!
