On the High Steel Bridge
HSB - Looking East down the deep gorge at the frigid Skok far below
While Calvin fixes a thrown chain, his brother Curt tries to pull one.
Ken and Calvin celebrate a job well done, while Curt franticly tries to find the light switch...
Good thing we came across this sign from the OTHER side...

Ken motos onward while Randy goes back to look for his map
The NX series of "Dual Sports" was an abortive late 80's attempt by Honda to update their XL series with a more "Euro" flavour.
While not as robust as some of the newer bikes, it performed very well all day. All it needs is a new MT21 on the rear.
Ken was so excited about it, he momentarily lost his mind.
Curt crosses a ditch
Wow...a rare picture indeed, Curt on two wheels...
Calvin crosses the ditch
He spots the camera
Never taking his eyes off the lens he offers up a heroic "Booyah!"
His gaze now caught, mongoose-like, he fails to realize he's heading for an embankment
Eyes still glued to the camera lens, he uses the force...
...and deftly avoids catastrophe!
