Check out some of the pictures I have taken while out riding in Western Mass.

Updated Feb. 27,2005

Hi and welcome to my little chunk of cyber space. I try to update it regularly, so come back and visit often!

It has been a pretty long cold, snowy winter here in the northeast USA. This is my back yard as of Feb 26, 2005.

I've done done a lot of riding in past years and have quite a few pictures! I have only posted 1999-2000. I have just recoverd most of my pictures from 2001 and will be posting them soon (I Hope). I don't have any pictures from 2002 to present because I am giving my Harley a much needed facelift and engine overhaul and concentrated on racing my off road bike, so I left the camera home. In 2005 I will be bringing the camera with me again.

I did get some great foliage shots from years past. I hope to post them soon. Keep on riding and check out my pictures!

This my main ride, my 1988 Sportster.

I've had it since it came out of it's create. It has been very depenadble and suitable to my style of riding. I like to go off the main roads and ride the back roads and mountain trails. That is why I have a 2001 Dual Sport Bike. It is a Suzuki DRZ 400S. This is it below. It is a replica of my race bike.

I did some easy mods to it. First get rid of some unwanted weight and anoying kickstand kill switch and clutch switch (not recommended by me or endorsed by Suzuki).Then rejet and open up airbox and I changed the engines base gasket to make the compression the same as the off-road only model. The exhust is good for a stock one, but a little heavy. I also changed the gearing by putting on a 47t rear sprocket and run either a 13t or 14t front sprocket depending on where I ride that day. This bike has been GREAT! It does it all. A true Dual Sport bike!

This is me and my old pal Fred after a long ride and a couple of beers.

You can click on any of the days (dates) listed below and see where I have been in Western Mass and near by New York State and Vermont. During the riding season (usually Mid Apr- Mid Oct.). I will try to bring my camera with me at least once every couple weeks and take some great pictures of my corner of the world. These are just amatuer photos I take for fun and I hope you enjoy them.

This is the first set of pictures I took for the web sight and they are from Sept 11, 1999 at the top of The Pittsfield State Forest and Balance Rock Park Pittsfield Mass.

This is the view from the top of The Pittsfield State Forest looking west towards Albany New York and The Catskill Mountains

This is one of the highest body of natural water in Mass.. It is called Berry Pond and there are many campsites around the pond.

This is Balance Rock Lanesboro, Mass.. It used to be a nice place to picnic but has gone downhill in the last 10 years. No money to keep it up. You know the story.
