Your best motorcycle travel pic EVER!

Hi everyone,
I was using the search option to see wether this topic has been on the list. So time to start it:

Everyone has a favourite of his travels. So c'mon, let's see! One pic and a short description.

I'll do the starter with that one:



I took that one in Kaikoura/NZ. The most difficult thing was to get the spermwhale in the right position

Now your turn!

Cheers

Dirk

You can try to find the bike related stuff, but it's pretty dark. I took it resting the camera on my helmet if that counts for anything...

That first picture posted to start this thread is unbelievable!

Every picture comes with memories, and I have too many good
memories from motorcycling to post just one:

Guanella Pass, CO (last year)






On the way to Rollins Pass, CO









Current troublemaker, future president




And finally, my GS in it's natural state:
