kwthom's Pavement Rides

A ride up the hill...



Maybe 6/10'ths at the start; I got a little more aggressive further up the hill.

[kwthom]

WOW!

Brand account that I was using to post my riding material was nuked today!

Appeal has been made...

EDIT: 30 minutes later "oops, sorry...you're channel has been restored"

[kwthom]

Damn...

I post *one* more ride - *bam* - account locked.

The algorithm is not liking riding videos, I guess...

[arcticdude]

That’s pretty ridiculous. All the other absolute crap that gets posted, but riding videos get stopped. Wow.

[kwthom]

Spam I guess to upload a slightly different and improved video resolution of a previous video upload...

[Aranc]

Love your videos man. Keep it up.

Thanx! One I took off the dashboard of my SUV will come out tomorrow, as an experiment. We'll see if the YT deities complain or not.

[kwthom]

So far, so good...I guess.

A bit more recorded on my last outing. Did a variation of this a couple years ago; what would this road be like when it *was* the main highway entering our valley:

[kwthom]

Another quick little rip...



Wicked it up a touch more where I could - one day, I need to do this road in the *other* direction as well.

S'pose I should have posted that link...



The clouds were highly unusual in that part of the state at that time of year...looked more like summer thunderstorm season than spring.

Wildlife on today's ride - common up at the higher elevations, and, yes, the audio sucks.

That’s a pretty good sized bird! Obviously not afraid of motorcycles, either.

Yeah, buncha 'tree-huggers' up that way, so....


Eons ago, they taught you to aim for most small critters while on two-wheels. By the time you get to the spot, the critter is long gone. That damn bird would certainly be one of those that could easily put your ass off a bike, if ripping through that area with any kind of speed.

That was a test of sorts, with a different location on the bike for the video camera. The video isn't too terribly bad while being viewed thru my smoked Madstad upper windshield.

[kwthom]

Shopping for motorcycle boots *sucks*.

That. Is. All.

[arcticdude]

It sucks until you find “that pair”. The ones that make you ride, they’re so comfortable. They’re an absolute pain to find and no one store has enough selection to find them. Multiple stores over lots of miles over numerous days. I've had 2 pair over some 40 years of riding. I still have 1 pair, though they need resoling.
