Back on the road for my next RoadRUNNER Magazine assignment. This time I’m exploring the Catskills Mountains of New York on a Royal Enfield Continental GT. This is an authentic vintage cafe racer, not some modern day bike with antique lipstick. 500cc of low compression power. Less than 30HP. Top speed of…who cares, it’s so uncomfortable at 70mph that I don’t want to shake it to bits. But the bike does have its charms, making me feel like Steve McQueen being one of them.
Along for the ride is a minimalist photography kit-Pentax K-3 with just the FA 31mm F1.9 prime, a Pentax Q7 with the 03 Fish-Eye, 02 Standard Zoom and 08 Long zoom. That’s it. I have an idea for what I want to do photographically that ties in with my story theme, and this is all the kit that I need. Actually more than I need. Oh and the Ricoh Theta M15. Because it’s fun.
