The benefit of attending a KawaNOW National Rally

I thought you might be interested in my most recent "My Favorite Photo", taken by Donna on our trip home from North Carolina. The photo shows me riding west during a rain storm. Although riding in the rain is not always pleasant, I had enjoyed this particular ride very much.

A gently curving road, little traffic, the music of a powerful V-Twin, and lost in my thoughts of blessings received from God, it was pleasant, indeed.

One word comes to mind looking at that photo, and it's "nirvana." Great pic!

The benefit of attending a KawaNOW National Rally

I had a similar experience a few years ago on a trip from Frankfurt to the island of Sylt. Day started off cloudy and as soon as I started the engine, it began to rain. Oh no, was my first comment, but with the right rain togs, I was a very enjoyable ride. I guess if you are dry, warm enough and on the open road, one can say it is down right fun.

Inspired me to try to find a caption....here are a few I found that seem to me to fit....(I am not nearly inspirational enough to come up with these on my own :-/ )

- “In solitude, where we are least alone.” MY FAVORITE

- "Solitude is often the best society”

- “It is better to travel alone than with a bad companion”

- “Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.”

- “Only in solitude do we find ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude.”

Great pic Dave....

Donna took a bunch of great pics that I saw. Maybe she should take up photography as a side-hobby. :)

This pic, and the one of Rayski are spectacular photos.

Thanks for posting for Dave.
