From the album: 2015 Colorado

Love the tricolore with those dramatic rain clouds off in the distance. Note to self: rain + gravel roads don't go together ;-P That kind of rain storm look very familiar - I've ridden through more than a few on my trips through Nevada. -
Lovely photo - it is the kind that makes want to jump on my VFR and head across the country. Luckily for me I am heading to Colorado next month to see what we can see. -
I like the look of my white & black '09 but your blue VTec looks better - especially with the CBR ud forks and the clear clutch cover. -
Would that happen to be on US-191 south of Duchesne? It is indeed a great state for motorcycling. -
Très froid ! -

Great mods to what is still the best looking VFR. -
I like the industrial look of the bike, gives it a serious personality. Definitely more Rottweiler then Labrador. The VF chin fairing is a neat touch. -
Cool indeed. I particularly like the QR forks, the HRC clutch cover, and the upgraded brakes. Is it a replica? -
As the (other) Doctor says, it is bigger on the inside ;-P -
Love the shallow depth of focus. The cross-eyed exhaust pipes are pretty charming ;-) -
Another of your beautiful shots, Brian. Plus, that view of the sun helps me push of the winter blues. -
Iirc, there was a lot of sturm und drang regarding the additives thought necessary for motorcycle gearboxes & wet clutch. And that the lighter oils are least likely to contain them. As I recall that is when some argued in favour of diesel-rated oil. Personally, I've been using Motul 10/40 semi but you have me thinking it might be time to go light.

Glacier NP's short open season results in lots of traffic so you'll have plenty of time to rubber-neck. But the views are as dramatic as in the Rocky Mountains and you'll want to stop often anyway. The road on the east side was under construction last September on my way through, a minor inconvenience at most. I've only ridden westbound so I'm curious if others have a preference. -
That is a surprisingly full looking reservoir for California. Looks like a great day for a ride. The bike ain't too shabby either. -
Great photo of one of my favourite stretches of the Pacific Coast Highway in NorCal. -
That looks pretty familiar - near Bodega Bay? -

Just add a Santa hat and it'd make a great Christmas card. -
That sounds like a great ride. I assume that the wx was good other that the rain into SLC. Some of those roads are very familiar. I know what your mean about the Gazelle-Callahan-Orleans leg - it might be better suited to a supermotard ;-P Here's a taste of the variety on that 100 mile stretch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg5FcD2tnEY&feature=youtu.be

Wow, what a great place to ride. Can't imagine doing it by bicycle like the Tour riders, though. It might not be as high but the view sure beats Monarch pass ;-P -
Thanks, fabio. I think the white colour hides a lot of the dirt, but look closely at the wheels. That said, I carry a can of Honda Spray Wax, or similar, and dust it at day's end. The rainbow colour on the windshield is intensified because I had a polarizing filter on my camera. You can see the same effect on lots of clear plastic, like the small rules from your school days.
