Thought this may be a fun thread to share daily ride photos.

To kick it off, I rode today around some 'ancient' lava beds which cover about 30 square miles near where I live. Loving these Anakee Wild tires both on and off road. Great handling. Mileage today was 49.7 mpg.

Your a lucky man having the hills and mountains to ride in. I have a 5hrs hour ride, just to find a hill with an elevation over 500ft sea level.

There’s a lot of beautiful places to ride, and my favorite place is a 3 day ride away. Colorado is my playground of choice 👍

This looks a lot like the lava tubes around Trout Lake Wa. I could be wrong. Very nice regardless.

It is! It’s a few miles east of Willard in the Gifford Pinchot. Beautiful area.

Nice I have ridden all through Gifford, I am sure you have done the curly creek ride out of Carson down and around swift reservoir come out in woodland. Grew up in Washougal worked for the forest service out of Gifford as well. Have a great day.👍

LOL. I’ve lived in Washougal (Wasiixwal) for 61 yrs 👍 I’ve done the curly creek ride many times, but prefer it in my Jeep. Gotta watch out for those potholes in the shaded areas. Sorry in advance for the non-PA pic.

Lol, that's crazy. Nice jeep. We will need to connect and go for a ride someday soon, preferably when its a little cooler I hate riding when it feels like a hair dryer blowing in your face not that I wont. I have been there for 50 years. Living on the Sand bar now (Long beach)

Looks hellish and I'll stick with my TDV8 Range Rover, if it's all the same with you, Drifter, ☮

What a difference a day makes. Took the mighty Pan America to Windy Ridge on Tue last week ,60 mi of constant delightful twistiness, albeit tempered by plentiful rough spots.

This combination of curviness and gnarliness left me of the opinion that the PA was the most badass scoot to ever have a space in my garage. I had so much fun I went back the next day for round 2.
Unfortunately, this time the bike started running weird (rpms not dropping on closed throttle) and eventually shut down 2 blocks from home with the "intake air leak" code.. First issue of any kind in 13,000 miles. Shop came and picked up the bike yesterday for scheduled diagnostics today. Called late in the afternoon for an update and was told it has not yet been looked at as they are 2 weeks behind. M*#!F%!#*er!!!!
