Yes, I'm sensing a theme.

Those scenes in the dealership reminded me of taking my wife's Spyder for a checkout while riding through Quebec, Canada. Walking in needing assistance and no one spoke my language. What a flashback.

Okay, here's another amazing one for you guys. He may not have an engine, but what he can do is amazing.

Damn those waves are sick! I sat just outside the break at Maverics during a competition when it was breaking around 30ft. The power in the wave was unbelievable!

Beautiful..

Nature, and ADV bikes a beautiful Combination.

I always thought I might get into a bit more nature, combine the safe sport of motorcycles and do a bit of storm chasing....(that should get the statistics flowing)

Now I'm not so sure ???

Close "clear-air" lightning bolt!

But here is the big question, If that strike was 200m away, why do you hear something instantly the strike hits?

Well this may answer that..

Slow Motion Lightning Strike (1 sec. = 3 min.)

fascinating stuff..

Oh sure ... NOW .... you know, since I turned 65 I had to slow down a bit.

Please don't let Troll's unsubstantiated comments deter you from performing a most altruistic gesture. You'll feel better. R ::015::
