NZ Sabres Fan Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If I were buying a bike today, it'd probably end up being some sort of adv. I do a little too much gravel and dirt for my street bike's own good. 1901192_10203991058475818_1057602416250457756_n.jpg Yeah, adventure bikes are very tempting by letting you get off-road, but I'd really miss the performance of a street bike.The older 955 Tigers (pre-2007) were dual sport bikes, but my 1050 was really built of the road. The conditions here on the South Island are fantastic. Nothing but twisty scenic roads. The 1050 Tigers are great for sport-touring with the saddlebags on and rips without them. I'll dig up some of my other photos. Great idea for a thread topic. Let's go Buffalo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After taking my bike to a track, I fully know the limits on the street are of my own making, not the bike; even with my pretty sedate R1150R. There's no way I'd corner on the street the way I do on the track. Edited May 20, 2016 by MattPie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I'd corner on the street the way I do on the track.All I was meaning was that adventure bikes and dual-sport bikes are great, but for the road riding that I do, I would much prefer a sport-tourer like my Tiger. Here's one from last years Port Nelson street races. Edited May 21, 2016 by NZ Sabres Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 The same Interesting. I am closer to our friends in London, UK and depending where you are on the Island then pretty much the same distance from you, my friend, as our friends in Sarajevo, BiH.

Doohickie Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Who is the one with the bug fetish? These are for you. For the uninitiated, those things can have a leg span as big as your hand, and they like building fresh webs every night. When my boys went to Scout camp, there was always a broom outside the latrine; the first guy to use it in the morning needed to swing the thing around as he went in the knock the webs down and scare the spiders away. Once in a while someone would forget, resulting in a blood-curdling scream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with all the lights in that second shot, you near an airport? Nope. There's a tollway just over the ridge. This whole area will be developed in 5-10 years. That's why the street I'm on is poured concrete with curbs and a bike lane in the middle of nowhere. In this map I'm on McPherson Road looking west. This picture from a couple weeks ago is a windmill at the Chisholm Trail Community Center. It's just a prop to make the community center/park look pretty (but If I turned around I'd be looking at a skateboard/BMX park). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Here are a few photos from a trip to California last year. On the side of the road of the Pacific Coast Highway (which is amazing): Morro Bay: And a tree that looked like a Weirwood from GoT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yeh it is. I have some pics somewhere of 20 ft waves hitting the breakwall in Moro Bay, here are some pics from Cal coast including Oceanside Harbor and an Otter in Moro Bay as well as a seal near Hearst Castle. I am sure I have more. PS That is a surfer getting closed out in that weirdly lighted wave as fog lifted. https://fischerwilliamsphoto.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Southern-California-Beach/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
