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.

Having only been riding for a year and a half and having only been on one real "trip", I don't really have much but here's my favorite to date:

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.

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:

12' deep snow at a rest stop.

April of '04 with 3 days to kill. Day 1- Long Beach to Lake Tahoe. Day 2 - Lake Tahoe to San Francisco. Day 3- San Francisco to Long Beach (on PCH of course)

The ride took me from 70 degrees on the SoCal coast, through 90+ degrees skirting Death Valley and down to 40 degrees in the mountains.  Believe it or not it was colder on the coast north of San Francisco than on top of 8500' Kit Carson Pass. Crossed over four 8,000' passes, learned that Central CA is boring to ride across and rode so many PCH twisties that it was actually a relief to find a straight stretch of road.

Awesome ride :banana:

Beartooth Pass US212 from Red Lodge,MT to Cooke City,MT (Northeast entrance to Yellowstone N.P). Unfortunetly the Beartooth Pass has self-destructed last May so I couldn`t get a picute of it with my Bandit last week.

Not the best pic, but a brilliant ride up the PCH and through Humboldt State Park (through the Giant Redwoods).
