Trip up the Blue Star Highway in Michigan
Jun 2, 2010 Photography, Transportation
Back on May 22 I took a nice trip up the Blue Star Highway in Michigan. The section I was riding was from Hagar Shore Rd (Exit 7 on US 31/196) north of Benton Harbor to Glenn Michigan. I just had to stop and take a few shots with the Canon 7D I was carrying in my backpack. As you can tell from the photos it was kind of foggy and it was a bit chilly but a great escape for a ride.

Need to do this more often!

How can you not enjoy this? Sunny, warm, beach, motorcycles and not a care in the world!
Interesting thing is that this is the same place I parked my truck and walked out a few years ago to take this shot 50 to 100 yards off shore in February:
My new ride – 07 Suzuki SV650s
Apr 18, 2010 Transportation
Last week I purchased my first motorcycle. I am rather excited to get out and start riding. It has been an interesting learning experience learning how to ride. I have never ridden a motorcycle before or driven anything with a manual transmission. After a short while of practicing in my yard in the soft grass I finally started to get the hang of it. I am glad that I started to learn how to ride in the grass as I have already dropped it doing 5-10mph in my yard. Nice thing about that was it did no damage to the bike. I have read that most people in the first 5 months of owning a motorcycle drop their bike at least once. Let’s just hope that my spill in the grass was my once. 
The bike is a 2007 Suzuki SV650s with 4,488 miles I bought used from a guy up in Holland Michigan off of Craigslist. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the new bike.
Here is the surprise I found while doing some work on the bike before I get plates on it.
