I'll be finishing up a new video for Grasshopper's Ride and plan to explore further down an old airport road that then leads to an FSR (forest service road) I have not been on yet. It is a long week-end here so staying away from all the busy people's is easier when you go further into the backcountry....??

Here's another old Railway Station which me and the wife visited en route to the Brit shops in Albox to get our tea bags and all the other food stuff we need! I'm not going to be consigned to eating the sort of roadkill that @Pedro seems to enjoy! Anyway, I knew this station was going to be a letdown because they've converted the station building into a restaurant and the sidings into a childrens' playground. That totally ruins it for me because I want to see the real thing in a Twilight Zone setting.....not some bloody theme park. It's destroying history! However......on the approach to the station there's old stuff there, the tracks are still down......and best of all a restored Locomotive! Only a small Shunter.......but beggars can't be choosers! First, here's the updated map with the stations that have been visited....... And here's Tijola.......obviously I couldn't resist getting a gratuitous Rugged Individualism photo!

Don Giovanni from the Met in 2000, my son is a huge opera fan. When he was younger he cost us a lot of money as we took him to see Pavarotti (his hero ) three times .

Out of Idaho and Welcome to Montana....

I am watching an opera (dvd) with my son, then camping in front of the TV to watch the FA Cup final with a beer (or two)

Looking at this photo you'd think i wasn't there ?

I was out on my trail bike years ago and came to a lane where a workforce from the local council were finishing off putting a pile of large rocks down to stop people going through there when a guy on a trials bike turned up and rode over them like they weren't there followed by a cheer from the workforce and lots of laughter

This ends tonight at midnight, people. I'm thinking maybe next time we should do a primary vote and a main vote with just 2 or 3 bikes, seems like we're spreading the butter too thin with 15 votes for 9 bikes.

"His" parts, lets not paint the entire peninsula with the same brush!

It's a look I define as sports casual Bob!

I think you will find she was trying it on with me

Pretty hot day to be working in the garage, funny thing is i bitch about working im my garage when its cold too. Not tellin what i did butt here are two clues Ok i;ll tell now, new Tusk™ brand disc's, the fronts oversized, and new pads. Sorry, i dint get the ghetto Gold one.... i went with cheap as chips black.

OMG, of cousre you were there. I've just remembered that at some random cafe about an hour later you tried it on with some Senorita in the toilets ? ? ?

What mask? What woman on the right?

That is awesome, I love me a good Opera..... Your like the best dad ever, I wish my dad took me to see Pavarotti ?

Benny Hill scared me as a child, I'm thinking for good reason. ?

Yup. The rock here is mostly granite and marble - very hard to work with when all you have is rudimentary tools like these folks had 100+ years ago. All they had they brought with them from back east - nowhere to buy anything here.

With plenty of free on street parking. Cool cowgirl sign...

They have a cool, 1800's vibe going on here...

...and the occasional canyon would pop up. Rail the twisties for about 10 turns and then back to strauight for 100 miles..

And an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. Must have been tough to live here years ago..

A few hills would pop up here and there as we blasted across the State. They were a welcome sight from the flatlands...

But I now have soemthing no one else here has - a pic of bike next to a nuke sub's conning tower. I know you're jealous.

Day off thge bikes today, so I can catch up. Yesterday was brutal - 600 miles with temps of 107 (42C) across Idaho. Most of southern Idaho is a vast wasteland of nothingness - just scrub bushes and long stmraight roads. Kept the speeds at about 90 mph as fuel economy really suffers above that and gas stops are few and far between...

I'm not sitting down in a cafe wearing a bloody mask.

I can't remember whether you were with us when we called in at Boano's shop in Italy Fred ? Here's Ivano Boano showing us how to ride a T700 properly...........

All boots can be fixed with duct tape except those Harley ones the oil on them will stop it from sticking

The best boot is one that can be fixed with duct tape

That actually a good idea, then we get to vote twice like in Chicago and many parts of PA.

Im working to end social injustice all weekend.

Working all weekend.

Nice post @boboneleg this is what i like taking the piss out of everyone and everything without being offended life is just too serious

Good thinking Pedro! We could do with some initiative here!

Set off on my annual trip to someplace today. Made it as far as Ogden, Utah after riding around 600 miles for the day. Joing me on this trip is my friend Neil aboard hios GS and friends Dave and Debbie on their GS. Left home in 38F degree (4C) temps and arrived in Ogden at 104F(40C). Didn't take a lot of pics today as we were mostly riding through hpt desert landscapes and soem highways. Did get a few pics at a road works - even has an abandoned house!

Black's better than gold, it's not like it's an SBK ZRX750, is it?

I'll never forget your face when you came back from the bog ?

I see that the trakky bottoms are still the height of fashion around your parts

And food, I’m always curious of the food you eat in the USA.

Off the bikes today, so will post up some pics of me drinking beer someplace?

George Carlin was THE MAN! Nobody will ever reach his level!

Opera? Seriously, which one?

It had some signage in front of it with historical facts, so I assume it's been rehabbed a bit by some historical society, etc.

It was tough sledding for awhile, but I'm on holiday and I wont bitch about it too much.

I see that Jesus is comming ? has he been to the Kum and Go ?

Riding through Idaho and Montana tomorrow. I promise to take more and better pics.

Crossing into Utah....

Am I the only immature person that laughs every time I go to this plac e?
