No complaints here, we have ideal IH weather for a change.

@Jett129 said in Photograph and Camera talk:

@Marc2706 At this point you know that I’m a fan,and like so many of your pictures,these 2 are jaw dropping,stopped me in my scrolling tracks phenomenal.

Totally in agreement with @Jett129 comments above…bravo @Marc2706 !!!

@Jett129 no we didn’t go through Arches. The tour guides opted not to because it is mostly paved roads there and heavily visited. The focus here is avoiding the more popular spots and towards the more remote and dirt road areas, hence the type of bikes we are riding.

Bikes were shod with Metzeler Karoo 4 tyres and heavy duty inner tubes. They have performed flawlessly at 26 psi front and back

Deep loose sand causing minor tipovers

We had to get this pic at the well known Forrest Gump scene

Beautiful scenery everywhere along these curvy mountain roads

I’m halfway into a 14-day offroad motorcycle trip through Utah, ending in Las Vegas on the 7th. The show is run by an italian company, Balise Expeditions, which partners with Aprilia for the bikes. We are all riding brand new Aprilia Tuareg Rally bikes and they are proving themselves an excellent option for all types of terrain: gravel, rocky, sandy, baby-heads; including short connecting stints on paved roads. I think their strong torque at low rpms and firm, long travel suspension are the stars of the show.

About to leave Moab

That super blue water is due to the potassium they extract from potash mineral in pools around here.

Lookout point over the Colorado river. This is the spot for the Thelma and Louise movie where they drive their car over the cliff.

Typical road and terrain for the trip

Typical scene out here. This is at Valley of the Gods

@jdwaid care to tell me who is Leather Face? No clue.

I took these pics of a leather cap a couple years back and forgot to post them here. It was hand made by one of the ranch hands out of the leayher from a small “lagarto” (Caiman yacare).
I thought it looked very cool, although it was a bit stiff. Needed significant breaking in before being comfortable.

@ironfadegreg you got a beauty there !

@goosehd very cool! Thank you. I have use for that Iphone functionality you just taught me.

Not big on wearing jewelry so don’t own much GAH.

Came across these pics from a few years back. No idea what it is, was first and only time I’ve seen it. In a town called Buena Vista, about 100 km north of where I live. Pretty rad markings!
