Last year I had a nasty spill, little damage to me but plenty of damage to my bike. I made a post about it, and I'm sure it's still on here somewhere. All said and done, I had to replace the headlight, the rear brake lever, and the front fork bridge. I broke the windshield mounts and the radiator fairing, but I've yet to find either at a price I'm willing to pay... besides, I can live without them.
I've put about 5,000 miles on my K75 this summer so far (last summer it was oh, maybe 750), just riding around MD and the panhandle of WV. I work usually from 10-3 in Bethesda, then spend the rest of the afternoon riding around with or without my motorcycling friends. I ride almost every day now, and the feeling is just great.
anyways... I've taken a couple of pictures, and I thought I'd share. There's no order, no nothing, its just a bunch of pictures. Enjoy.
(if you have "been there, seen that", make a note of it! thanks)

A beautiful old Hudson, in Woodstock, MD
2.
A park, just north of Summit Point, WV
3.
Triadelphia Mill Road closure... oh well, went through the road block!
4.
The entrance to what used to be part of the Granite Nike missile silos... one of the only in Baltimore/DC to be armed with nuclear warheads... but all of the radar systems and silos have since been demolished. Granite, MD
5.
One of four old quarries in Whiteford, MD
6.
The road block right before the old Henryton Bridge in Henryton, MD... go across the river and you end up at the old Henryton Hospital... a very cool place to take photos, though now over-run by kids with spray paint and matches.
7.
The Maryland Line, MD firehouse. My most recent excursion.
Any comments welcome!

before my time my dad occasionally reminisces fondly of a 52 Chevy he once owned. I believe it was his first car, they're always special.
