TEMPERATURES WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO HOP ON THE SCOOTER SATURDAY BUT A PRETTY BUSY SCHEDULE PREVENTED ME FROM GETTING ON THE ROAD..A COUPLE OF ERRANDS AND AN EARLY EVENING ENGAGEMENT TOOK PRECEDENCE (HAS TO HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILE)..ANYWAY—AS FAR AS ANY RIDING GOES, THIS LAST WEEKEND WAS A COMPLETE WASHOUT FOR ME—BUT NOT FOR ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO LIVES FIVE OR SIX HOUSES UP THE STREET..
AS I WAS WALKING OUT TO CHECK THE MAIL-BOX I HEARD THE BEAUTIFUL RUMBLE OF A BIG V-TWIN HARLEY-DAVIDSON COMING DOWN THE STREET..AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE ONE OF MY RIDING PARTNERS (PLENTY AROUND HERE), THEN I SAW A FAMILIAR SMILING FACE—“HEY!!” I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, “HE GOT HIMSELF A BIKE!! A ROAD KING!! IN BLUE!!” (FOR ME THERE ARE ONLY TWO COLORS THAT BELONG ON A BIKE—BLACK OR BLUE)..A NEW BIKE—NO SNOW ON THE ROAD—GONNA TAKE MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT OF COLD TO KEEP A MAN OFF HIS NEW MACHINE, ESPECIALLY A BEAUTIFUL MONSTER LIKE THIS ONE..
MEET STEVE LEVESQUE—STEVE’S BEEN ON MOTORCYCLES BEFORE BUT LEFT THEM BEHIND FOR A WHILE..BUT NOW HE'S COME BACK WITH HIS FIRST HARLEY DAVIDSON..WELCOME BACK INTO THE MOTORCYCLE FRATERNITY STEVE..YOU CAME BACK IN SOME REAL NICE STYLE..DOUBTLESS WE WILL DO SOME RIDING TOGETHER..(CHECK OUT 'PERFECT STRANGERS' IN THE JULY ARCHIVES-KIND OF EXPLAINS THE 'I WANT ANOTHER BIKE 'SYNDRONE)..
LIKE I SAID IN MY OPENING, DIDN’T GET A CHANCE TO GET OUT AND GET ANY INTERESTING STUFF TO WRITE ABOUT AND THE ONLY PHOTO OPPORTUNITY WAS OF STEVE AND HIS NEW BIKE..SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I SEE A FEW DEER OR A MAJESTIC FLOCK OF GEESE CUTTING ACROSS THE SKY IN THEIR ‘V’ FORMATION, MY CAMERA IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND..HOWEVER, MY FRIEND, GAIL PARADIS, FROM RIGHT HERE IN BRISTOL, HAS BEEN GOOD ENOUGH TO SHARE SOME PHOTOS OF A FEW AWESOME SUNSETS THAT SHE HAS HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO CAPTURE WITH HER CAMERA..
BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES OF MOTHER NATURE’S ARTISTIC ABILITIES—NO TWO SUNSETS OR SUNRISES EVER EXACTLY THE SAME..THESE LAST TWO PHOTOS TAKEN ONLY A FEW MINUTES APART 
AGAIN, THANKS GAIL FOR YOUR PHOTOS--STEVE, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BIKE, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY FOR YOU..WE'LL DEFINITELY DO SOME WIND TIME TOGETHER..

Thought I'd dash across and have a quick look at your Blog Jim, however I'm not into bikes BUT can sure appreciate the beauty of the beasts!! But if you don't mind I'd like to return, and have a much longer look at the beautiful photos you have put up of the countryside, seasons etc. Really lovely stuff here. Thanks for sharing.
