Rambles



Picture
Me and my days-old 2009 Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive, October 23, 2009.

I've posted below (in reverse chronological order) commentary, maps, and photos from some of my longer Burgman-enabled rambles (which, as of 8/6/2010, have spun the odometer past 8,000 miles).

I returned to the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge by car (which birds and animals regard less warily than a person on a motorcycle). Also had use of a 55-250 mm  lens this time, with both in-lens and ex-lens (glorified beanbag) image stabilization.
