Not a lot of trips this year, but great memories and photos. Here are my best:

I really enjoy seeing these pictures, seeing people getting out and doing what they enjoy, priceless

Let's see here. I managed to pick my FJR up just in time for the Texas blue bonnets to show themselves.

Took a little ride to eat some BBQ and pick some up "To go."

Yum!

Some of the below pictures were taken by my wife but I obviously cherish them very much. Gotta share photos of the kiddo!

Had to change tires on the FJR this summer, and I had my little helper.

He likes to meet me when I get home.

And sometimes he likes to pretend he's dad and go riding.

A few trips last year, not a lot of pics...

Visited a couple lakes.

Rode along a river...

Through the fields...

To see the mountains...

Found some curves...

To ride with friends...

And ran into all sorts of phunny folks along the way...

Gotta include a straggler from 2011 with my buddy Panman!

All in all, not too bad. Looking forward to more in 2013!

That must have been one hell of a trip.

Okay, lemme see what I got's here for 2012..

May, the boring, flat, straight roads of SE Ohio. Only the hardcore riders (Canadians) stayed and rode on a VERY wet Sunday.

Here we are taking refuge in a parks gazebo. I felt so sorry for the youngun's Ryan and Peter. Those guys were SOAKED. Had fun yacking with them on the Sena's though. Moosehead, JonD and myself showed that we maybe old, but were still stupid.

June I ticked off another "I've always wanted to try this". I enrolled in Micheal Merciers FAST Race School at Shannonville. Here's me missing an apex large!

Humans shouldn't be allowed to have this much fun.

Being the smart guy that I am, I realized at the FAST School I'm not anywhere near as good as I thought i was. So I too a Lee Parks Total Control Phase 1 class.

Here I am putting one of the big girls pegs down. This class should be REQUIRED. I've already enrolled for the Phase 2 class next June during CFR! Ya, thats right, I'll be their for 2 days only.

August seems to be the month I lose my mind and buy more motorcycles. This time it was Honda new dual purpose CRF250L

Ya, I own 3 bikes. The CBR2-fittyR is for sale. But I still like it a lot!

After August comes EOMember in North Carolina. Mmm, love me some NC.

The Total Control and FAST school courses came in handy.

Stylin' for the official EOM photographer Yammafitter on Rt 215. It's a little blurry. I wasn't going that fast. Honest. Yammafitter had the shakes after a night of hard drinkin'.

Finally, I closed out the season with a colour ride with my buddy Jim (VFR1200.. NICE bike! We swapped bikes for most of the ride back).

.. and that was pretty much my 2012.

Kitten at Amish farm in east Ohio, SW of Canton.

I like the way you made her tattoo match up with the embroidered '2' on her shirt.

I put together a little video of some ride highlights for the 12 months between Oct. 2011 and Oct. 2012. It was a big moto travel year covering three countries, eight states, 18K+ miles, and more wonderful friends, adventures, and SMiles than I can count. It's a bit on the long side but has some great music behind it... so get yourself a beverage, kick back, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together... some of the images evoked lots of other memories on various trips which may not show up in the video but they are forever etched upon my heart and mind...
