Riding in America (image heavy)
 
Been a while since I've posted ride pics so thought I'd share some views of the Appalachian Mountains.

Sorry for the pic quality. All were taken on my Galaxy Nexus which came with a decent camera before my phone company sent me a mandatory 'upgrade' that turned the camera to s***.
My old 3-g phone took better pics! Barstewards!!!
But I digress.

Bank holiday here this past weekend so headed to the mountains for a few days.

very picturesque Bill and the bikes looking good as well, got a couple of brothers over there just now doing the "American Dream" thing, touring yellowstone today on a couple of electraglides.

Wow, really nice shots Bill. Some of them could be straight out of A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson.

But moving on to the roads there look to be some cracking meandering roads, we get some here in Wales and such but usually they are hiding wet sections of roads with leaves on and some sneaky conditions for a lot of the year. Looks a lot more enjoyable over there (and to think, not long back that was covered in snow too, it just gets hotter to dry out better I guess)

Nice post!

I think you may have just stumbled upon the meaning of (modern) life. To live long enough to earn enough to do the things you want to do before it is too late. (all of this is a "problem" created by civilisation though)

Awesome roads. And I thought I was lucky living near the Brecon Beacons. I'm jealous :p
