I guess I'm the only person in the world who is not a fan of HDR photography.

Haha don't worry, you're not the only one. I'm used to it by now.

How did you take that photo? The paint on the bike looks stunning!

It's just a regular HDR stack but in Photoshop I upped the clarity to +100, hence the title.

Was going for something a little abstract looking.

That's a nice one .

ROLL ON VFRD ..

So nice I traded my 7th gen for it. (!)

Another calendar candidate if you ask me!

Calendar shots have to be landscape orientation I believe...

3 outta five aint bad...

Great shot! My guess would be Artist's Drive in Death Valley..

Yes sir, spot on.

I know exactly where that is. Oregon coast - am I right ;-P

Haha nope, the Hoh rainforest in Washington. Close though!

Can I say that I actually LIKE riding in the rain?. ....Maybe it's the mailman in me.....

First nomination for 2016 calendar pic!

I actually like it too - when properly equipped. For this I had mesh pants (no liner), perforated boots, summer gloves, and a somewhat-waterproof-sometimes Tourmaster jacket. The 150 miles home was...chilly.

Dope.

God I miss WA. Great looking bike too.

Wow.

Is that on the Stevens Canyon Rd somewhere?

The two generations of VFR I have owned! featured

And the two I do own!

one of you is not like the others!

Have to get used to your "new" bike, good so see she's getting some attention. Did I hear right 120,000 miles? Looking good!!

Thanks! Yeah, I think 116k actual or something? I don't actually know haha

Oh look. Brian is featured again. Surprising... :)

First one with the 5th gen though.

who's that idiot in the middle of the road??

Featured!

Shortest feature ever LOL

Very Cool. (How'd you do that?)

Thanks. It's a 30 second exposure, and within that 30 seconds I used my phone's flashlight to paint the letters backward. Cover the light with a credit card while I move from letter to letter so there's no trails. Actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

holy crap that is a good looking bike.

That high-mount Akro looks good. Paint is pretty damn good too.

If that your office it must be a pleasure to go to work.

Yeah, being based in the heart of the Napa Valley doesn't suck. Though I wish the bike was my office!

Is that out on Cazadero or King's Ridge? Looks mighty familiar.

Up at the Lick? When is the next one?

Overnighter here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/80349-bay-area-norcal-spring-overnighter-2015-may-9th-10th/

Will probably do our usual Mosquito Ridge/Big Hill shenanigans in early June. Then Monterey/Santa Cruz area late June or early July. Then Golden State Gathering in September.

Or at least that's the plan.

wow...the good old days. How many people in this photo still own their VFRs?

Shoot my bad, didn't mean to upload the one with the BFP watermark.
