A Winter's Ride
Well, with it being the hibernating season for most bikes, i was feeling very fortunate to have a decent day here in south Texas,(well between rain clouds that is) that i decided to take advantage of it and go for a ride in the countryside. Unfortunately, it's not the beautiful countryside with rolling hills and green tunnels of trees shading the roads like a lot of you have, but it is nice open road with tons of wind turbines that remind you of how small you really are. I packed a camera because I'm always looking for another way to capture Serenity's beauty, and I figured I'd share a few with you. I was also staying just ahead of the rain, so the sky was a little dark, but it makes for a cool back drop. Lol
Not very much vegetation, just a lot of farm fields. But it is winter, so that's a given. Haha Just wish we had some hills and twisty roads down here!
I hope you like the pictures. I'd love to see any of yours from a winter ride. And hopefully you are able to ride and aren't snowed in somewhere!

You
Are
EVIL!!!!
The white snow has turned to black slush here. They're predicting 50s-60s Sunday but honestly it won't be safe until a good rainstorm washes away the salt. And then I come here and find all these great pics of my home state. And you were RIDING?!?

Nice shots, but like Kuro said, you are evil!! Snow and salted/cindered roads don't give me the option to ride up here in the Poconos, PA. I may take a nice easy ride either Saturday or Sunday. Supposed to be in the 50's, Saturday supposed to rain and Sunday, just cloudy, so HOPEFULLY I can get out Sunday.
BTW, the wind turbine was going to be my next pick in the Motorcycle Challenge game, haha

Thanx guys. The only thing I love more than riding it is photo-ing it! Haha I would love to go up to that Hill Country Gotcbr, I was just saying there isn't any here in my part of town. Hehe
And sorry to make ya jealous, but I can hear her cryin' in the garage when it's ride-worthy outside, so I do what I can! Haha

That first photo is pretty sweet.
Kuro - you guys getting this mild heat wave too? I took both bikes out Friday for about 20 minutes. Was extra careful because of the salt and crap on the ground, but it was nice.
