All photos are available in Ok this is a nice shot of a cruiser and all...
...but I pulled it to try and convey something else...these "lady bugs" during a certain time of the year are overwhelming. I tried to get some shots of them, but it's not easy. They're constantly moving and mostly flying, and really small...you can see a few in the top of this shot. They also stink like crazy, and if you touch one you have to wash your hands to get the smell off. Heaven help you if one splats on your helmet near the chin vent.

I notice that this rider seems to be using the rear brake, as opposed to using his front.
Hence the skid marks left daily.
A guy at my Bro's work said he only uses his back brake...He was an HD rider as well? I don't get it?
Screw the brakes...
That is the coolest Halloween costume EVER!!!
Check out he mask!
Rode up the Cherohalia a couple of weeks ago....they were as thick as flies....er....ladybugs. About the most I have ever seen.

Using the rear brake in corner compresses the suspension and forces tires into the pavement. While this can be accomplished with the front it is safer to use the rear on HIGHWAYS. If you find a slick spot with your front under braking and it slide, you will go down. Slide a rear and you have a pretty good chance to just need to clean your shorts.
Yeah , like I said, Skidmarks !
Whatever the brake system on your motorcycle, rider skill is still the most important part of controlling speed. It’s important to know when to brake and how to brake. And it’s even more important to develop good braking habits, because even the most advanced system can’t prevent a slideout caused by poor techniques (such as snapping the throttle closed in the middle of a tight turn). When you are suddenly faced with a hazardous situation, good habits will help you pull off a successful stop without having to think about it.
