Smh, this guy seated in front of me is blocking the screen. And he keeps looking at me. #bunny #rabbit #lagomorph

Had to break in the new tires. Full day riding in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. 70 miles of dirt, rocks, and gravel, and another 100 miles of pavement. #motosky #adv #pnw #dualsport #Honda #africatwin #KTM #tusk2track

My Honda Africa Twin is the odd bike out amongst the KTMs.

A dogpile, if you will, of bunnies. Bendición is in the middle, just his head visible, as he's surrounded by his mother, Graham Casner, his father, Publio, his brother, Grey Scott, and his evil step sister, Evil Pooky. #bunny #rabbit #lagomorph

I had some trouble finding my motorcycle hitch carrier this morning. Could have sworn I left it against the fence by the shed. #motosky

A shed, a pool, and a wall of ivy plants. If you zoom in, you can faintly see the black metal of a motorcycle hitch carrier behind the ivy.

After a little trailside nap, I noticed a suspicious oil leak that appeared to be coming from the top end. It was concerning enough to warrant investigation. I tore the whole bike down to find there was no cause for alarm, as it was just overflow from the airbox. #motosky #adv #ORBDR #honda

The forbidden feet. It took all of my willpower not to reach out and touch Roger's fuzzy toes, which would have startled her awake from her peaceful nap by the window. #bunny #rabbit #lagomorph
