Back in the Saddle ;o)..

Well, it's been quite a while since I fired up the motorcycle and frankly I wasn't sure it was ever going to get much more use...until...Friday, Sue and I went out to dinner on a tandem bike date with Dave and Cindy and Doug and Kay Kowallis.  We rode along the Boise Green Belt and had a very nice evening ending with S'mores and a nice fire in Dave's back yard.  Doug and I got to talking and it turns out he's quite a biker - both road and off-road.  He and Kay have put in some long trips across the US and Canada in recent years on their Harley.  So... Doug says "Let's go up into the Owyhee mountains tomorrow...  I couldn't resist!
There are hundreds of miles and OHV trails everywhere!!  We started near Murphy and put in about 48 miles going up into Silver City - an old mining town from the 1800's.  What a fun trip!!
Today, my body is trying to cash the checks I wrote yesterday - but all together I feel pretty good.
 Just a few pics of the trip...  fun fun fun...

I'm so glad you guys are having fun! I like the pictures - but where are the bikes? Did you really go riding or just dress up and take pictures?? Hahaha - I'm totally joking. The area looks pretty and I'm glad you have a riding buddy now - sounds like you'll have lots of fun trips together! ;)
