Some of those looked like post cards! I'm surprised the trip didn't take a month with all those camera set-ups. What are you shooting with? Did you ever trade bikes?
I always wave.....last. I love seeing ladies riding. They're the friendliest of all. This girl on a CBR rode past me today while I was waiting at a light and she went so far out of her way to wave to me I gave her the biggest wave back ever.
