Day 234: Looking up

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Day 192: The Motorcycle Escort

Sunday, July 19, 2009

The Vets in the previous post had a motorcycle escort from Ronan.  I met a few people from as far away as California that came.  There were a lot of bikes there!  This panorama is from three photos… (1/400, f8, 17mm, ISO 100) They were mostly the usual Harley’s a few GoldWings and a selection […]

Day 188, short and sweet!

Friday, July 17, 2009

While waving my protest sign at the Health Care Freedom Tea Party this morning, I saw this sweet ride go by: a BMW R90S/6(?) cafe bike…early to mid 1970’s.  It was in very good condition.  Interesting helmet, though… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 185, The 4th of July that wasn’t…

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Another out of order post, but it has been a week…I was planning on being in the 4th of July Parade here in Great Falls.  I was going to ride with the motorcycles behind the Tea Party float, protesting spending without responsibility…and generally celebrating the America that should be.  Alas, it was not to be.  […]
