A few pics from this week

Hi there, guys.

I just bought a new camera and took some pics a couple of days just to try it.

What do you think about them?

Don't let the sun and the blue sky make you think that it is warm here in Spain. Temperature when taking the pics was below 0ºC.

I recomend you to enlarge them. They are 1000 pixels wide.













Best regards from freezing, but sunny Spain.

Hasta la vista,

Nacho.

As always great picture Nacho....When I see that I've some regret to have sold my venture....

You never should have done it, Oli.

Look mine. 172.000 km (107,500 miles) and still going smooth and strong

Sure you're right I didn't know now why I've done it ???????

...and when we take pictures of our nice machines...they are the ones that stand out. They are also the ones that people notice and ask questions about ...isn't that right Oliver!!!!!

congragulations on your new camera @ Nacho
pictures look real sharp
thanks for sharing.

maybe if i had a better camera and computer i would make & post pics again
greetings from snowy, frosty southern germany

I hope that is on there because it was the only tire they had when you needed it????????? ....that is UGLY..!!!!!!!!!! ...........white walls look like do do on our bike!!!!!

YOU!!! are the only one ugly here, Big Boy. And what does "do do" mean? I don't get it.

The reason the bike has only one white wall tire is because I had to replace the other one and did not find another white wall one. Avon does not make that tire for the RSV any more and my only chance was to use a 170 rear tire, wich I don't feel confortable with.

The bikie was nice with two white wall tire, but now that I don't have the chance to find rear ones, will run regular ones again.

Here are a few pics of the bike earlier this fall with the two white wall tires..

Riding with the wife at a bike meeting in October. First time she joined me in several years...






And these ones in a solo ride looking for the fall colors.... All of them were taken with my previous small compact digital camera.

Still UGLY............Do Do.....means Poop!!!!!! ...Merry Xmas my Spanish Friend, and tell your family and Club friends Happy Holidays from me too!!!!

Engine...
It was in 2006, I think...

And I prefer your Black one, Nacho !

Well the 1st Gen looks much better since it doesn't have white walls!!!!

Pierre....need to make those pics bigger??

Looking at all these great Venture pictures I thought I post a few too!

Yes I do! But my wife does not allow me to have more then ONE motorcycle in the garage so if you want to taste something else you need to sell the other one. However there is always a possibility to return to a Venture isn't it ?

You should, my friend...

That's the only way I know for having SEVERAL BIKES IN THE GARAGE.

With a Venture, you can have a touristic bike, plus a fast bike, plus a fun bike, plus a cargo bike, plus an elegant bike, plus classic bike, plus, plus, plus, plus.... all in one single bike.

Now imagine my case. I have TWO VENTURES. I can't even count how many bikes I have in my garage...

Think water, my friend. Buy a Venture...

Yea, what Nacho said!!!!....Honda now I think.....................

Here in the US....many bike owners try to get out on Jan 1...just to say they did, or to participate in some special event going on....I got lucky this year....it was 50F.....10c..so I headed out and went to a place I have been before ....and with Peer...the Ball Ground Airport...........the B-17 was back this year...so just for shits and grins...I know this isn't that interesting for most of you...but for me it is ...here are a few pics!!!! Hope you enjoy.........








And these two other planes were at the airport too.......very famous to the US Military....










And just to add some verity here is my son (left) and his cousin, my nephew next to my nephews helicopter, he is in the Army National Guard...and stationed in Idaho USA

Great pictures John

I think the yellow plane is a Brewster F2 Buffalo "flying coffin"....the other is the Curtiss P40... the last is the Apache

is it good ??

Olivier, she's a T6G (my father worked on her in the sixties in Algeria...)

So John, when I'll visit you in Hot'Lanta, I want to visit :
the B17
the Texan
the P40 Kittyhawk (just for you budy, this was the English name )
and finaly Cape Canaveral NASA's station !

And, if we've time, the Smithonian Institution...

For the AH64 Apache, I can wait later

Yep frenchie you"re right for the T6G Texan....

When I'll visit you....I want to have a fly in the T6
.....Release some bombs with the B 17 ......Play with the Apache's machine gun

I'm looking forward for that....

Great pics John you have plenty of places to visit and those aircraft look in good order nearest to me here in the UK is Duxford where you can find spitfires and concorde.

Huuummmm, Dyxford, the War-Birds Temple
One of the place I guess to visit in a near future...

DUXFord, sorry....
