A Sunday Ride To Allatona Dam
Near Cartersville, GA

(Safety note:  In most conditions the rider's vision is above the windshield to the road ahead --instead of thru the windshield, as here.  These low, wide-angle shots are an attempt to show some of the bike.  Another note:  Taking photos while riding means removing at least one hand from the handlebar --and throttle!  Use caution!)

pix3.jpg A pause for a glamour shot on a camper slab by the lake.   Honda Shadow Spirit, 1998.  Stock plus Hondaline luggage rack, Rifle cruiser windshield, and Eclipse bag.  A  standard "people" fanny pack makes a great handlebar bag.
