Default Nothing to do with photography

So its 80 some degrees today so i decided i was not going to sit home today and work. I strapped my camera bag onto the back of my Harley and headed out.
Going down the highway I saw several things that could have been a great picture but the wind in my face felt too good to stop. But I had my trusty camera just in case!
Rode thru some tiny towns, Branson Colorado and then into Folsum New Mexico and then rode by the Capulin Volcano in New Mexico. So after only 150 miles I decided I had too much work to do at home. Frames to paint, images to frame etc.......
So here I am waiting for frames to dry and looking mighty sunburnt. But, I dont care cause today was just an incredibly awsome day!

It was. All by my lonesome. It's just the most fantastic feeling int he world. Until you get wapped int he forehead by some giant bug who has some sort of unbreakable armour on. That kinda hurts

That sounds awesome. Stories like that make me hate the bastards who stole my bike even more.

Tell me. I've had 3 stolen. One we recovered the motor and tranny. That one hurt the worst as my insurance had lapsed so I had no coverage. Thank goodness I made buttloads of money then and paid cash for it. I loved that bike. 2003 Heritage Classic. Pearl white with multu colored flames on the tank. Apes and all kinds of other cutom doo dads
Did you get another one?

It really wasn't worth much so after my deductible it wasn't even worth turning in to my insurance. It was taken 6 years ago and I still havn't replaced it and never recovered anything. It funny but the police still call every year asking if I have found it.

ooh that sucks. Luckily after my last one was stolen and I couldnt afford to replace it I had some pretty awsome friends who gave me a bike to ride till I got my own. Now I have an 06 Electra Glide and a 87 FXRP that has been totally customized. She is one bad b$^%^h
