Title: A 50 year ride report
Post by: klaviator on December 09, 2016, 05:05:29 PM
A couple of winters ago I started a project of trying to record my riding history starting from when I first got interested in minibikes in the 60s.  I worked on the project all winter but when spring came I started riding too much to take  the time needed to finish my project.  Last winter I got interested in shooting and that took up too much of my time.  Now that winter has moved in again I decided it was time to work on this ride report again. 

Doing this report involved digging out my old pictures and scanning them.  Then I had dust off my old memories and try to figure out the story behind those pictures.  Here's some of the pics from that ride report:

These are just a small fraction of the pictures.  As you might imagine it's a really long story.  If anyone is interested it's on Adventure rider: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/you-only-live-twice.1042598/ (http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/you-only-live-twice.1042598/)

Eventually I'd like to complete this all the way to today but I still have a long way to go.
