Naw... I'm having a guy put a reserve tank in since I can't make the time to do it myself. A man my age shouldn't be that busy...

Oh well, on my next ride it is!

Well heck, nobody else is going so here's a couple pics in my garage, work bench, tool box ,and tools in background....
Hmmmm.. next challenge...how about in front of a roadside attraction..one of those animals or something...

Wooooo there neat freak!

I say that garage is way to squared away!

the more cluttered with tools and hoarded materials the better, I like seeing workshops as messy and... well, fun to look at as the one I have! And it makes me feel better to think maybe mine isn't as messy as some.

Ya want me to go out and throw some stuff around??

AtlLaw · « **Reply #125 on:** August 19, 2010, 04:19:05 PM »

Nah...

I'll just take a picture of mine so you can see what a gay-rog is 'spose to look like!

hunt4570 · « **Reply #126 on:** August 19, 2010, 04:25:29 PM »

Yeah.... Lets see it!!

I tell you 4570, your place looks like an operating room compared to mine.
(Did you just move in?)

About 3 years ago..

Atlaw, I tried to take some pictures of my own messes so you wouldn't feelalone, but they wouldn't post.
I reckon the computer musta known with all that corruption, there had to be a virus in it somewhere.
('Course it coulda been the fact I'm "techno-challenged".) $:-\$

Same here, but between the 6 motorcycles and the rest of the junk, you couldn't tell there was any workbench there at all...............

Does Fort Mackinac count as a roadside attraction?

How 'bout historical markers? I consider those our "attitude adjustment" stops...........

How 'bout the Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop?

No?.....................................alright.

hunt4570 · « **Reply #132 on:** August 21, 2010, 10:53:58 AM »

well I was thinking more like that giant fish, or frying pan,a dinosaur...something on that order...a made to be roadside attraction...

hey....that's cool. Generally there's too many folks at those stops for us to adjust our attitude. The historical marker waysides work much better.

OKAY!!!!

Here it is! Do I win?

Cheesehead · « **Reply #135 on:** August 28, 2010, 06:59:38 PM »

OK, this road side attraction has been standing on US-8 by St Croix Falls for over 30 years, the Tin Man, next to my Fatboy.

How about a picture of something "abandoned" that does not belong to you. I have seen many examples of this in my travels.

hunt4570 · « **Reply #136 on:** August 29, 2010, 08:44:02 AM »

nice I like the tin man...

Whats with all the advertising on this place lately??? how annoying...

How 'bout these abandoned bottle caps in the parkin' lot of Harry's in Willow City, Texas?

....or this pair of skivvies abandoned in the streets of P-Town on the tip of Cape Cod?

or does the bike need to be in the pic too?

hunt4570 · « **Reply #138 on:** August 29, 2010, 04:21:08 PM »

Yeah... Needs the bike...a cager could take those pics...

Yes, motorcycle required.

Some examples I have seen are a bridge, barn, farm machinery, train depot, school, play ground equipment, very old farm house......................................

Something about an item in a state of disrepair makes it seem like it has a story to tell.

Don't know anybody that would take a cage to Harry's in Willow City. Maybe a poser.

Okay ....abandoned barn and other out buildings with my bike, my wife and I.

I would agree that these places are Nostalgic and seem to have a story to tell.

buck460XVR, What is next?...am still waiting my turn but have passed on a couple as per laziness.

hunt4570 · « **Reply #143 on:** August 31, 2010, 05:20:26 AM »

I'll make it an easy one. It can be any picture of your present bike as long as it's been taken at least 1000 miles from your home at the time the picture was taken......and the bike has to have been ridden there, not trailer-ed.

Cheesehead · « **Reply #145 on:** August 31, 2010, 11:16:41 AM »

Can this pic be from the old archives?

Cheese

hunt4570 · « **Reply #146 on:** August 31, 2010, 04:29:29 PM »

Ok, here are a couple pictures from Utah in June this year, not 1000 miles as the crow flies(I don't think, but close) but more than that via the route we took out there...These particular shots are from the Moki Dugway north of Mexican Hat,.

hunt4570 · « **Reply #147 on:** August 31, 2010, 04:35:15 PM »

New challenge, same thing..1000+ miles from home..no trailer trash( had to ride there), and old archives is fine Cheesehead...

Isn't Mexican Hat just across the border from Colorado?......and don't you live in somewhere in Colorado? If you say that's 1000 miles one way, I guess I'll believe you.

hunt4570 · « **Reply #149 on:** September 01, 2010, 09:26:44 AM »

Well its a ways across the border, I'm over by denver..we went via southern colorado,through New Mexico and Arizona back up through Monument Valley,past Mexican Hat, and north to the Moki Dugway..I guess I could have posted pics of the Staircase Escalante or Bryce canyon on the other side of Utah, but I liked these pics better. Like I said, not sure of the exact mileage but its close...If you don't want to allow it... well thats your call..
