Mariposa!

I’m up here in Mariposa with Matt and Ryan for the Horizons Unlimited California event and I’m having a great time.   I gave my presentation today on the RX3 and our recent adventure rides, and I’ll bet we’ve had 25 or more people take the RX3 out for test rides.   It’s hot, but it’s a lot of fun.

Our good buddy Ray rode out here on his RX3 and I grabbed a photo of him with my iPhone…

The California wildlife people are in the booth next to us and I grabbed a few iPhone photos of their exhibits…

Cool stuff, and a cool demonstration of the iPhone’s capabilities.   You may recall me mentioning a few weeks ago that I had “upgraded” to a Droid phone.   That lasted exactly 4 days.  I just couldn’t get the thing to operate as intuitively as my iPhone, so back to Apple I went.

I walked around with the Nikon this afternoon, too, and I grabbed a few interesting photos.  Horizons Unlimited events attract serious motorcycle travelers, and many of the bikes were interesting from several perspectives – the decals showing where the owners had been on their bikes, the kinds of bikes, and more.

Check out a few of the decal collections…

Here’s a Ural in a very cool paint theme.  Urals, of course, are Russian copies of an older BMW design.  They’re cool bikes.  I spoke to the owner and he told me it was the last one Ural made in this color combo.   I like it.

An interesting accessory tank for an older BMW…there’s a lot of range in that tank, folks!

Two of the folks who took the RX3’s out for test rides…

And one final photo today of Ray’s RX3, this time with the Nikon…

I’ll have more photos tomorrow, my friends.

Ride safe!
