The city is deserted first thing in the morning, with no traffic to obstruct the ride the road is our own.

Brother and sister, together as friends, ready to face whatever life sends. Joy and laughter or tears and strife, holding hands tightly as we dance through life.

A restaurant is a fantasy-a kind of living fantasy in which diners are the most important members of the cast.
A little change of pace - A friend brought it by to show off, and I couldn't resist this shot.
Back to nature soon.
Not my HD.
Donna and I sold ours 2 years ago. We had a Roadking. Have been kicking myself for selling it.

Not mine but I would take it in a heartbeat...all you need in a great motorcycle with great color, plenty of chrome, some leather, big whitewalls, and a few tassels!!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Me and my 95 Roadking. Courtesy of Raleigh Studio's, Beaverton, OR. Alas, I had to let her go. She was loud and fast. I did not take this photo.
Not mine. But I too had this marvelous bike once and gave it up for good.
Everything is manual and labour intensive in this bike. Its probably a lot easier to pilot an Airbus A380 or a Boeing Dreamliner than ride this bike ! I had to go through a lengthy checklist before I could get it started. It is a petrol (gas) guzzler.
This model - "Road King" was the last bike manufactured by the Chez owned company Yezdi. It went bankrupt.
Going back over some earlier material...nothing new at the moment. Way Back to 2011....with my original 5D.
There was a biker friend of mine...not a Hell's Angel...not that it matters...just someone who road in on a Harley to visit me whilst I was tripping through the beginning of my recovery back in 2011...yes, over 8 years ago...seems like a lifetime now...I'm not sure if it was him...I still was in shock from it all...near death one day...colostomy bag the next...withdrawal was a bitch...only a month had past...all I remember was something was Ruff...but I'll never forget that Road King...in the Shack...under the lights...got me to bring out my camera and do a shoot...yet I tucked the images away in the back of my mind...and in a far away drive...and then I found them again...and realized what a good friend I had and how that visit brightened my life enough to continue the fight another day.
We all have battles and I am not whining...my life is easy...just a story line for these pics I took so long ago.
Angels come in all forms...you just never know...:)))))
NOTE: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS PHOTO HAS EVER BEEN POSTED.
For some reason these motorcycle photos put me in mind of an old Giant Sand Song "Solomon's Ride" I have listened to this song countless times over at least a 15 year span and always thought it was about a Motorcycle. Today, I found it on You Tube and learned the the song is about a Car...I believe it was a Plymouth Barracuda...so it just goes to show that reality is a misconception.
