Hmmm, only one? That's tough!

At the moment, this one is probably my favorite:



From my trip last summer with Matt (when he had a B6). This shot is ~90 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho on US12. Pretty much an obligatory photo stop for riders on this road.

Buggyho,

Seeing those pics of Yosemite makes me a little homesick for the Golden State. Two of the thing I most most about Calif are the mountains and the Pacific Coast Highway.

Yeah, the PCH was AWESOME!!! We rode it from Monterey to Eureka and then took 36 back east. Unfortunatley, Collette didn't care for the miles and miles of ultra tight roads along the coast on the Magna but she did like the view. Lots of cool places to see in Northern Cali. We saw a lot of cool stuff between Oklahoma and Monterey. We were on the road for 17 days counting 3 days at Laguna Seca and rode over 5000 miles.
Good friends, good times

after arriving at a rally, getting the sv up that hill was "fun", it rained all night and getting back down was even more fun. I still like that picture though.

Note the singular form of the emphasized word (Manny)?  :duh:

Geez, you know how hard it was for me to just pick one?

Manny, I didn't see any cruisers in your groups' pics... why did it take you 4 days to cover only 1000 miles?  :stickpoke:
