Thanks for forum members for helping me to find a program that would resize my pix so I can finally get some uploaded. This first post is the final test to see if I can do this right. This is a pic of Lake Stanley in Idaho ... one of our trip spots ... just gorgeous!!

fast!!

met this couple heading into Colorado ... guy said he had just had the bike up to 150 mph!! no wonder folks can do a 1000 miles in a day out west!

he had a real nice set of kessler bags on the K bike and turned it into a reasonable long distance machine.
