another fine nicklemine ride

4 hrs of riding and only half a tank of fuel used. 8)

another fine day at nicklemine....birds were singing (as long as not motor bikes were around)

not to hot and not to cold (unless you go through puddles)

would have rode longer but had my 250 die at the head of a trail and investigated and found my battery box hanging by a thread of steel bracket. will get it re-enforced this week

Thanks for posting the great photos, MidLife. I'm glad you discovered the problem with your battery box before it dropped off! 8O

Nice pics! You guys certainly have some nice riding spots . What is the terrain like for the most part, dirt, sand, clay, etc?

Looking forward to a report on that area; I've heard about it lately. Did you get your liability insurance sorted out?

Beautiful pictures and beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.

Gentlemen, don't miss a MINUTE of summer. Where many/most of us live every moment is to be cherished!
