A few shots of my motorbike, when I prepared for my ride to eastern Poland.
And yes, it is pretty clear that I enjoy riding much more than cleaning ...

K1 and Rokinon 1.4/35

Good photos. Like the motorcycle. Looks to be a very effective skidplate .

Beautiful shot!

Self portrait with cat. K-1, FA 77 Ltd, AD400 and octobox. I fumbled for quite some time trying to get this shot, holding the cat with one hand while trying to focus and take the shot with the other hand using Image Sync.

Thanks! Although I don't do "serious" off-road riding the skid-plate gives more confidence to ride through unpaved territory. Without the plate the oil-filter cartridge is very exposed ...
The bike is a comfortable ride. On the way home I was riding nearly 1100 km (sorry, I'm metric) with just a few stops to fill the tank.

We're metric in Canada too, but the odd thing is that in the construction industry in Canada, we still use the British Imperial measurement. I'm in my early '70's and when I was in school, the British Imperial measurement was the standard used...change to metric came in the early '70's. But I still convert metric measurement to British Imperial in my head...as it makes more sense to my antiquated brain.

For example 1100 kms is around 680 miles or so.

Our son has a BMW F700 G/S, which is a an on road/off road motorcycle as you know. The F 700 although it does have off road capability, I would say the design bias is more street oriented. He had an after market aluminum skid plate installed as he does take it off road on occasion. He's been very happy with it, has had it for 5 years plus. Very reliable, durable, good overall, balanced performance.

I have an early on/off road motorcycle. It's a '67 Matchless G15 CS (Competiton Scrambler) 750 Scrambler. It came with a lighter Matchless frame, skid plate, elongated and beefed up Norton Roadholder forks, low gearing and a Norton 750cc twin with twin carbs, sports cam, etc. They were originally sold in the western USA as desert sleds. For insurance reasons It is classified for the road as an enduro.

Norton had the same model but called it the Norton N15 Scrambler. These models eventually evolved into the Norton Ranger Scrambler.

BTW, I enjoyed your photos and your previous write up on your trip to Poland.

If I was younger, I think two motorcycles I would consider, would be the Honda Africa Twin and the BMW F 750 G/S. You're bike looks perfect for , as we call it over here...the Adventure class. I like the metal pannier boxes. I note that the exhaust is close to the pannier...any issues with heat transfer ?

You may wonder why I show this image. The story is simple. The black & white tonality IMO wonderfully shows the variety and structure of the oak wooden floor. In the middle you see the opal acrylic glass I use to create LCC profiles in Capture One Pro for selected images made with Pentax lenses.

Here are some shots with the DFA 24-70mm. The end of last week we had torrential rains from one of the tropical storms that moved through the area. We had about 6.5 inches of rain in a 2 day period of time. The Staunton River got really high and I went and took some photos of it.

Flooding Staunton River (DFA 24-70mm)

(Those trees normally are on the bank of the river and not under water).
