Best scenic pic with your bike.

this thread exists on adv and is a great thread, so I thought I would try to start one here and see what you guys can come up with.

last weekend I got to ride my maxim on the beach at Cannon Beach, Or.

Haystack Rock, I've been there - not with an XJ . . .

 

I've got pictures of mine sitting in a barn, sitting in a garage, sitting in a van, sitting in another garage, soon I will have more of it sitting in yet another garage...
but I'm great with Photoshop. Anyone want to see pics of a dusty Seca on the moon?
That's a great photo, Bruce. Looks like a Viagra ad, or something.
"We went for a ride on the beach, but then it got too hard." (or do i mean to say difficult?)

 

I challenge you to take a pic by the real Haystack Rock (no hints as to which one it is). I also challenge you to buy a bowl of chowder from Mo's, and deliver it to my doorstep within 24 hours. You will be compensated. No cheating. It has to be from the original location (though I will settle for a clam strip basket from just about anywhere).

 

Picture is not the best quality, but her is one.

 

Here are a few (not all XJ's)

 

thanks matti, no photoshopping allowed, although that would be funny to see a dusty seca on the moon. k-moe, no dice buddy. I don't know which one is the "real" one and I don't have your address. but you can order frozen chowder base from mo's and have it shipped directly to you. I may do that for myself as I do likes me some clam chowder. tcoop, great pics man! they don't have to be xj bikes, but they should be yours and you should have ridden them to the location for the pics.

also, everyone, please provide details of the location in your pics.

just for yuks and giggles here is a shot of my maxim at hurricane ridge in the north Olympic mountains on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state.

Mo's clam chowder or clam strip basket ....... I just had to see that near lunch time. Yea but Mo's Newport and Pacific city Haystack are too far apart to keep hot.

 

12v food warming boxes are a thing.

I seriously need to move home......

 

Top of Mt Helix, San Diego, CA........that is Tijuana in the background........in the very far distant background

 

I could tell it was the big T because of the smog!

 

Sevierville Tn. Douglas lake and the Smoky mtns. way back there.

 

Jeez, Bruce, that's another really good photo. Super clean, great detail at all depths, a well framed panorama... What camera/lens are you using? Please don't say that's your phone or I'm ditching all my cameras and buying whatever you've got!

 

A professional photographer friend of mine has started using her iPhone 6 during shoots. It has a damned fine camera in it; nearly as good as my Cannon G10 is for portrait work.

 

All these shots are withing 15 min of my home.

This is the back road to Snow Basin ski resort where some of the down hill events were held for the 2002 Olympics.


This is a shot overlooking Pineview


The next two pic are also the back road into Snow Basin just different angles.



Waterfall up Ogden canyon

 

one day my bike will look good enough to post a pic

 

sorry matti, it's my galaxy s6. it has a 16mp camera that shoots 5312x2988 pixels. I wish the cellular part of the phone worked as well as the camera. it would be a truly amazing device if it did.

That's some pretty amazing technology.
Member Biggs also uses his cell phone for a lot of his gorgeous pics . . . . I might have to get one of those new fangled gadgets.

 

I bought a 48 dollar phone at SprawlMart. Got exactly what I paid for. Now the Chinese government is reading my thoughts. My Nikon P7000 takes sweet pictures, though!
The lens makes all the difference in photos, and apparently Samsung has some really good lenses. I am amazed at the clarity of Bruce's images!

 

GoPro stills make for great pics also.....

 

Gulf of Mexico at the end of the Ozella Trail, Crystal River Fl. 82 XJ550R and 76 KZ900 stable mates.

 

Keeping the thread alive... One of the (many) scenic views from the Eastern Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada.

 

Not very 'scenic', but here's a couple old shots of VooDoo

 

I love the first pic! to me, it is very scenic. it has a nice profile of your bike and what is, to me a great background. the second pic has none of those things. that's not to say that a post industrial pic can't be scenic, it's just that that one does nothing for me personally.

love your maxim btw.

couple of nice looking bikes right there.

Just a nice local ride in the evening . I took this pic with a BB.
Summertime. ... good times.

 

nice pic. what's a "bb"?

FU

 

A blackberry phone/handheld.

 

i was gonna post a pic.. but that Cannon Beach pretty much made me feel very little..

Awesome shots guys!!

 

Post one anyway. There are all sorts of beautiful.

 

yeah, what k-moe said. post away.

we have some great pics so far, let's keep them coming.

My Bike is on the sailboat....pic is off Pt Loma........

 

Using it as a boat anchor? That's worse than pods! That's worse than chopping Dave's 900RK!

 

Ooh, I have some pictures to post in here

For starters though- (all taken with my iPhone)

 

And lastly my favorite that's on my Photobucket right now

 

Here's one more

 

Colorado ???????? beautiful.....

 

Washington, most of those

 

Found some more

 

Mt. Ranier:

 

That 4 looks awfully like a 9 doesn't it?

 

I was having fun with the panoramics haha

 

Late Summer/ Fall evenings are the best. This is only scenic because of the sunset. Otherwise you'd just see blue sky and about 200 acres of milo.

 

This is about 8 miles from my house.

 

Love the pics! There is simply something about the XJ that is really beautiful. And to see your bikes with the mountains or water in the background is amazing.

 

Had a little time to take a ride this afternoon and decided to stop by the lake. Absolutely perfect day for riding.

 

Evening ride night before Memorial Day.

The hill in the background is Spirit Mound, one of the few places it is verified that Lewis and Clark actually stood. It is a sacred spot to Native Americans and the highest place in the surrounding prairie.

 

Well, I'm thinking the 9 looks sort of like a 4.....

 

Missouri River looking across at South Dakota from Nebraska.

Perfect riding weather is morning. Low 80's and low humidity.
