Hello, inmates and visitors, and welcome to one of the last issues of Photos of the Week for 2023. We’re almost a quarter of the way into what we used to call a new century, and just look how lovely everything’s turned out to be! Why, we practically have nothing left to accomplish for perfection on earth, but of course, we haven’t finished showing off your photos, so we’re not done with world-building just yet. And we start on that with a photo by @pvcwizard, who impressed us with his shot of a 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro situated very close to the end of the world—at least for North Americans. “This was the turn-around point of my fall ride,” he says. “Cape Spear, Newfoundland, is the furthest east you can ride on the North American continent. Next stop east: Greenland.” The photo was taken a few months ago and it wasn’t because he’s wearing a cool beret for the picture that we chose this image as our Featured Photo, but the headwear didn’t hurt his chances!
Below is a second shot by @pvcwizard, this one taken on the North East Backcountry Discovery Route, “somewhere in the forest,” in September. He was riding a Kawasaki Versys 300 for this shot.
To the South West
Here is a shot from @CottonStump taken a few weeks ago in a place diagonally opposite the shots above, on “a five-day trip out of San Felipe, Baja, SW to the Pacific and SE to Cataviña (cactus picture) and to the Sea of Cortez before returning to San Felipe.”
“Twenty-five riders, all bikes were 1980 and older, about 800 miles total.”
@CottonStump was on a 1973 Honda XL250.
Guiding riders
The following photos were taken by @Nakulmalik while guiding “a couple of riders near the sleepy little Himalayan town of Lansdowne” a few months ago in India. The bikes he used were a 2018 BMW G310 GS and 2022 Ducati DesertX.
And more from Sleepytown
Here are more shots from @Nakulmalik, who says they’re “from a trail ride I led near Lansdowne in the Himalayas for KTM India.” He was riding a 2021 KTM 390 ADV at the time.
And with that, we come to a close in this issue of POTW. That’s all we have this week, so a gentle reminder for readers: we need your pictures! Just click the link below. And come back next week for more fun with adventure!
