Kitt Peak Shadow

Kitt Peak National Observatory Complex view map

Another reason why I haven't been too active on PBase. I bought a used Honda Shadow VLX 600
motorcycle because I wanted to learn to ride before I got too old. I've since taken a couple motorcycle safety
courses, got my license, and now am in practice mode. I took a ride up to Kitt Peak to get some
experience on winding roads. Had an absolute blast. This shot captures the essence of my three
favorite hobbies: astronomy, photography and, now, motorcycling.

Below, wondering where to put the key to start the darn thing.... ;-)

Cool ride, Sam. Reminds me of riding in the Santa Cruz mountains on my little 250.

Wow, Sam! really impressive stuff. Wish I would have though of this a few years ago. Have fun. V

Now we know why you built that big garage - you've been kicked out of the house after buying the motorcycle - ha ha just kidding! Have fun and stay safe :-)

Easy rider! You'll enjoy the open road all year round, unlike here where the bikes get put away for the winter. V

Very, very cool Sam. Good for you my friend. I did a lot of motorcycling in the 70's. Great memories.

What fun ! Lots of room for the gear on the passenger seat :)

Nice place for a shot and ride - and after being there I can understand and appreciate 361 days of ride-ability.
Ann Pettigrew03-Nov-2014 01:06
Good for you, Sam! You have a beautiful state in which to ride. Be careful!
