Happy New Year one and all, I gathered pictures of riding from all the preceding months into one YouTube movie, hope you like it.
The movie seems to show I spent more time on three wheels than I did on two, but all the commuting miles don't show up in the photos, do they?
A tumultuous and stressful year for me in terms of having motorcycles go in and out of my life, hopefully things are now stabilized in this regard for the foreseeable future. I got to meet some fellow bloggers, got in a long trip or two, got my wife into scooting, changed jobs for the better, and assuming the Mayan's prediction is not correct, looking forward to posting about my rides all the way to 2013!
For the record, and a sad one it is in terms of miles ridden when compare to yesteryear.
Brigitta - 4,123 miles 1987 BMW R80
Natasha - 1,374 miles 1996 Ural Sportsman
Vikki - 5,946 miles 2004 Suzuki V-Strom with Dauntless Sidecar
Yoshie - 5,917 miles 2006 Suzuki V-Strom with Dauntless Sidecar
Total: 17,360 miles ridden for 2011.
Total ridden on all motorcycles owned since 13AUG2006: 114653 miles. ( I know, I'm slacking)
Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable 2012 riding year!

What a fine collection of riding memories and images. Thanks for including me and for your kindness and hospitality when I was in Denver. It was a highlight of the year.
Looking at all the miles you collect makes me feel terribly lazy and lax in my riding. It also reminds me that if I did put so many miles under my belt I would have to get a second machine...
Happy New Year to you, Martha, and the kids!

Happy New Year Dom,best for 2012.
Beautiful pictures and lots of adventures. Happy New Year!
Happy new year Dom!
I think you beat me in miles this year :)
Good stuff! This presentation of your 2011 rides was tasty and well done.
While watching it, I thought to myself, "Hey, I've been there!" and, "Oh, I gotta go there!"
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Dom, enjoyed the video. I wish Natasha would have worked out for you better then she did. I enjoy checking in on your rides and seeing Natasha on your trips (except when she was giving you problems). She was still my connection to riding after we traded Maria and Natasha. I don't ride these days, so you are still my eyes and ears as it were to being on a motorcycle. So glad to have met you and your wife in our short encounter. I don't check in much since Natasha laid down on you and had to go. You remind me of me when I was able to ride the adventure and enjoy the ride wherever it takes us. Thanks, Phil
Happy New Year Dom. I posted a comment yesterday but it never showed up. Happens a lot with blogger...
Great collection of pictures.
Steve, thanks for the kind words as always...you're of course welcome anytime in our house. Happy New Year to you and yours....
Raftnn...all the best to you as well for the coming year!
Murph: be safe in your travels, looking forward to seeing what kind of sidecar rig you end up getting in Europe.
RichardM: thanks and Happy New Year to you as well.
Chris: my meager miles beat you? Both of us are slacking off then! Happy New Year! : )
Dan Diego: glad you liked it!
1weekender: Phil, I wouldn't have traded the experience I went through and knowledge I gained through Natasha for just about anything...sorry to hear you're not riding anymore, hope your New Year goes great!
