The first pic is of the Connie parked up on a little grass knob by an old wool shed in Glenorchy. This picture was taken during the 2009 Southern Cross and on my first (and so far only) visit to stunning Glenorchy. I like the pic for a couple of reasons. Firstly, its a nice pic in a beautiful place and secondly as it was a little adventurous of me riding a fully laden Connie up a grassy slope...
My second pic is from my recent Top of the South Adventure and is of the V-Strom parked in front of the French Pass. This pic is special as it marked a return to "the Sounds" for me - about 25 years (far too long) after I had last been down. It is also a beautiful wee part of the world. An added bonus is a dusty looking bike - she'd been out there doin' it!
Great entries Andrew. I like the idea of one for each bike!!
ReplyDeleteShame I don't have a few more bikes...
DeleteAndrew cool spots - nice parking on the grassy knoll.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad it hadn't rained in a while...
DeleteHi Andrew I posted a comment a couple of days ago from my phone that doesn't seem to have worked. Anyways I dont remember exactly what I said cept that I really liked both pics but my favourite was the first one .. love that scene.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's no way I'd even attempt to get the Shadow up that grassy slope! Well done!!
I'm sure if the big ole Connie can make it up there, the mighty Shadow would too!
DeleteAndrew:
ReplyDeletethe best thing about photos is the memories & smiles they bring when you look at them years later.
You had a great vacation down "South" and lucked out with the weather. I can feel it just looking at your Strom

You're right Bob. I think the Vee did enjoy getting covered in Southern dust and dirt - in fact she's still covered in it...
DeleteCool Places to Park Your Motorcycle? Oh, how about New Zealand, you kiwis win just parking in your own driveway. Both photos of both bikes against beautiful, blue water... very nice!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I hadn't even thought about the water when I posted the pics. But I do like pics of bikes with water or mountains in the background.
DeleteLovely pictures Andrew!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dar :)
