Title: Pics of where YOU live
Post by: hawaiianGS on October 29, 2011, 12:24:34 PM
Here are a couple pics from the beautiful state of Hawaii, where I live.  I took them between 7am and 8am this morning.  It rained last night, and was still a little cloudy, so the pics are not the greatest.  Now lets see some pics of where you guys live.

Hey Mary, Love those painted wheels.

I think we can fall in love with this thread.  Should we also identify "more or less" where the Pic was taken?

Wow, there are some really great pics here! Mad Dog, that pic looking over the top of the bike down the road is awesome. Fraze11 that cabin is amazing. Looks very nice.  Madjak30 those pics of the mountains are phenomenal. Beautiful scene. Steezin West Virginia looks great covered in snow,(too cold for me though). Congrats on the new house  :cheers:  Mary, Flick looks great in front of the school.  Good looking bike!  Nice house Stevo  :D Very cool Pic.  Angelo that skyline picture is amazing.  If you took that you are in the wrong line of work my friend :bowdown:

Welcome to the NW Coast of Tasmania  :tongue2:

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: Having had the hounour of riding Tassie. I salute you for being lucky enough to live there.
After I rode Tasmania it sort of ruined all other rides as no where was as good to ride and the few places that you could compare, took 5 hours of riding to get there and 3/4 of an hour to ride it, you get to walk out your door and within 10 mins your riding some of the best riding roads our country has to offer. (Although road kill and gravel on the sides of the road keep you on your toes).
Plus I love the fact it can take 3 times longer to get to a place then expected because the roads are so twisty :woohoo:.
If your an Australian rider and you have not ridden Tasmania your  :cookoo: and are not serious enough about your riding and have no bragging rites no matter how fast you've gone or how far you have leaned over :icon_lol: :cheers: :thumb:

All the above is spot on, whithin 5 mins of where I live ive got access to 4 seperate great roads just to get to work. You can almost guarantee that you can choose any road (apart from a highway) and it'll be a great road.

Yeah I went from a CBR250RR to the GS, from what i've heard they aren't very common in the US. Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR250) is some info.
