While I'm ashamed to say I don't have any good pics yet to post of my own, I just got my FJR in August, I want to say thanks to everybody who did post for making me want to get out and ride a whole lot more this year! I've already got a couple of decent trips planned including the Dragon and Wheels through Time. Plus some as yey unfinished plans for more. Keep them coming folks this is way better than the porn I was looking at

 
Look, in the road!

It's a Honda!

It's a Yamaha!

No it's a muddy Man-strom 1000!

BTW, Wow...FSJFrank...those are OUTSTANDING photos. Looks like a great year for you.
Agreed!! Thanks for chiming in with those... wonderful look at lands far away... the Amsterdam shot took me back to when I was 19 and went to Europe for the first time on a guided young people's tour... that is one interesting town!!

Amsterdam is nice, it was almost 30 years since lst time I visited when we went there last year. Almost everything where the same :)

Frank, you'v got a great looking bike, very nice color with straps. BTW, I was cruising in Norway in 2011 with my wife, it is really very beautiful country, great landscapes and sceneries. Would come back without a second thought only if it wasn't so damn expensive

Yes, Norway is an expencive country to travel. Food at restaurants and cafe's are high priced and if you like a beer it's priced like gold :)

That was a hell of a good time, Mr Bill. When I went looking for pics from that ride (to include in my slide show) I found I had taken exactly 6 photos in 3 days, and none were all that good. I was just so wrapped up in the riding fun and the atmosphere of the countryside that the camera just wasn't on my mind.

 
Ah... damn... Glacier NP. I so need to get my sorry ass there to experience it. I even have a photo (stolen from Zooom) on my kitchen wall to remind me every day of my shortcomings. You westerners have an unfair advantage there.
Quityerbitchin! I grew up in Vermont but have never had the opportunity to ride up there. You get to do so every year while I....well, yea, there's that year round riding thing but dang it gets hot in the summer and it's soooooo flat. Nothing like having mountains in your back yard!

Do I know this from someone else's avatar?
Ah no this ones all mine...I'm not a photo thief.
My apologies TR, didn't mean to imply that. Pic reminded me of Extrememarine's avatar.
Apology accepted. I'm sure I'm not the only one to capture a photo of this area. From what I hear fog is quite common in this area. Even though the weather wasn't that great it sure made for nice scenery.

 
The FJR was relegated to mostly commuting duty this past year, so the ST got the nod for my impromptu SS1000 and lazy return. Here is my favorite pic from the return trip.

The camera didn't capture it (just a cheap P&S, after all), but it was a double rainbow....this is just north of Durango, CO

 
Lots of nice shots here so far Now is where it gets ugly..

Well, your link points to something on your own computer, which we can't get to, even if you're running a web server, unless you change file:// to https:// and localhost to your public IP address and have port 80 forwarded correctly through your router and.... never mind.

Upload your pics to a host site like Photobucket or Flickr and link to them there. It's what all the big kids do. :)

FastSpy those are spectacular. Any chance you could go back and give a caption with location? I would love to know where those were taken.

Edit: Thanks for doing that FastSpy. They are fantastic!

Hwy 12 along the Lochsa river in ID.

I do believe I rafted that river several years ago on a work trip. I recall riding both ways on that road in the back of a rental car crying because I wasn't on my bike. But the rafting was awesome.
