I am currently reading, Home by Seven by Steph Jeavons Here is a quick summary: One woman's solo journey to ride all seven continents on two wheels. A Welsh girl, Steph Jeavons ran away to see the world. She wanted to see the sunset from every angle. She wanted to see an orangutan and a baobab tree. She wanted to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe and ride a motorcycle on all seven continents - and to sing karaoke on the way. ---------------------- It is really good so far and very refreshing to read. Refreshing in the way that she is rough around the edges and doesn't hide it. She speaks her mind and considering her lows in life, still managed an amazing adventure that no one else has done. A serious page turner.

This is the thread to share what book you are reading at the moment. It doesn't have to be related to motorcycles, but try to keep it to what you are currently reading.

Had a busy day today. Started with a small servicing for Bagheera. Oil change, new plug and air filter, chain maintenance, just stuff like that. Then I worked on my latest video before going for a super nice ride and hike. Rode to a place called Big Tree Park, with, you guessed it, really big old trees. We went for a short hike through the forest and enjoyed the awesome trees. I will do a video and ride report for next week. Then went home and did some landscaping on part of the property we are reclaiming from the nasty wild berry bushes. All in all a great day. Have a great weekend everyone.

Sorry I missed the party. The days are busy lately and time seems to be of short supply.

OK, what the heck? I just spent way too long looking at tractor pictures..... They are just too much fun, look at this lovely photo of one I found.....

I'll take it, send it over!

I agree, why wouldn't you.... WAIT..... Garden Tractor Pullers Nationals??? Well, shut the front door, I'll be there......oh, I need a garden tractor and MANY MANY STICKERS and I would kick some country butt..... I REALLY WANT A GARDEN TRACTOR NOW......

Of course budget is important, but a photographer friend once told me, it is also how a camera feels in your hands. If you don't feel comfortable with it when you pick it up that is not a good start. You had mentioned a bridge camera, a good place to start. They are always very friendly to use and will get you started. If you find you are looking at a bridge camera on the higher price end, then also look at entry level DSLR's and mirrorless cameras. Those will give you the option to use multiple lens down the road. Maybe you want a larger zoom lens or a macro lens later on. The mirrorless cameras are really nice for travelling. They are light and fun to use. Most also record a nice quality video as well. The cameras these days are easy to learn and have many modes to help you in different conditions. Have fun and let us know what you decide on.

Super cute bike! Looks like fun! Congrats on the new bike @boboneleg

Greetings @Bill from the Grasshopper

Wow, lovely spot! Certainly a wonderful way to end the day.

A friendly wave is always nice, but especially when they are bigger than you and don't HAVE to let you pass!

Hard to choose this month, lots of great entries!

Nice backdrop for a video. ? Good to know the trip started well, I am sure your confidence will soon return. Nothing like being in the saddle day after day to make you comfy with riding again! Have fun!

No, I had not seen the new name. Cool, I like it. ? Well done!

Gosh darn it.......you are right!!! All the colours are spoken for..... At least I tired to help..... lol

Congrats on the new wheels @Tango ? Always a fun time when a new bike arrives. I recently purchased a CB500F, so we share the same base engine, and I have enjoyed owing a Honda again. Enjoy and happy riding!

I don't mind that, maybe a bit lighter though.... What about greener. #065418 ?

Right, sorry....always forget about the KTM thing as I like orange, but they have really claimed that look. That green is not right....agreed

Oh, well if you just wanted my attention, there are nicer aways to approach it..... You have it now, BEWARE! I don't have Bruce to make fun of anymore so I am looking for a new victim for my "nice meanness"....... ? Your Charlotte is adorable! ?

Greetings @Kracker from the Grasshopper! ? ?

When you do make that trip to Canada, I would love to meet up and ride for a bit. Wow, I have been camping all my life and never had an experience like yours.....? Which I am very ok with....lol I have had a bear outside my tent a few times, once I could hear the nose smelling everything and that was an interesting experience. Hope the start of your trip has gone well and the sun came out! ?

Wow, now that is honour...... Take a bow fine sir....
