Quoted for truth.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Eh. WM takes two cans a week from me for $20 a month. Seems like a reasonable deal to me.

I will say, however, that they ROB you on recyclables. They wanted $8 a month to take my plastic/glass, and then they recycle it and make more money off of it. I cancelled that shit after the first month.

You have to wonder what the guy was thinking. I mean, I don't ride, but even I know that water + motorized speed = bad shit.

Margins are thin on recycling. They wouldn't be making much from it, unless you're in a state with bottle deposits.


And even then, they'd have to pay someone to pull out the stuff that can't be redeemed.

As it is, I take my recyclebles to a local place and get way more than $8 a month for them. :) Saving the planet and NOT paying anyone else to take whatever little profit they might make. I feel good about my choice! :thumb:

Get a trash compactor put your bottles and glass in there with the slimy stuff. No one is going to open that bundle of joy. You could always save $20 if you gift wrapped the compacted trash and leave it on your front step.lol.

Vodka: You can do it!!

This picture has been all over the net showing two mailboxes in Taiwan that were hit by a flying sign during a typhoon.
What caught my eye is the motorcycle parking spaces painted on the street. Never seen that before.

The boxes look like 2 guys sitting at a bar.

Maybe they're compensating for bad brakes...

Maybe they're just ijits.

Now you don't have to stop at the river...

Where do you guys get these cool photos?

Why the internet of course.

Boy, there's some stuff on that internet.

Sure, nets catch more than fish.

Not exactly macho, but it is a Harley...

It's an Aermacchi made in Italy. One of my Dads friends had one.

What a waste of an iron head.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bb7771dc75.jpg

I'm sorry ^^^ its a shovel.

If you forget your tent poles, use the bikes...

That will work if it doesn't rain and the ground gets soggy so that the bike(s) fall on you. Still I have tied a tent rope to my bike. Just had to make sure it was untied when leaving.

I wonder if the tiny wheels limit speed, or if the resistance is low enough and grip high enough that they are just like a low-to-large gearing.

Yup probably what you said. I saw a vid of a modern one being tested. The pilot wore t shirt and jeans when he crashed. Next photo is the new prototype and he is wearing full body protection with full helmet.lol.

Harley Trucks...

Chariot racing.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b5f57ad0c.jpg

That's, like, way more than two horses.

Prolly close to a hundred?

Here's a cow glide.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94c7df6717.jpg

Tie dyed...

Pass.

Rednecks....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a1d54079b2.jpg

i sit on the back seat sometimes. but I keep my hands on the bars and feet on my platforms.

Shit hits the fan sooooooo fast.

What kind of floorboards do you have? Ha ha.

The fellow in that picture had an accident at work and both his shoulders were crushed. He sold his bike and an Alumina trailer went with the bike.[emoji22]

There are accidents and then there are unplanned tragic events that happen when you aren't placing safety first.

I don't know this guy. I don't know anything about his work accident, but look at that picture. Does he put safety first?

I do the same when riding. Maybe shoot the bird only a couple times.lol. It is like riding your bicycle. Once under speed the bike will stand up by itself. The neck bearings are the key. If loose you will definitely hold the bars. Notice the rider is looking straight ahead and not at the person taking the pic.

I was to leave Thursday for a weekend of reverie with bikers from another forum. It seems hurricane Florence is going to change my plans. At 5am today NOAA predicted she is coming straight to Myrtle Beach. This will be me riding in the coming days.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2c0b66db05.jpg

He looks like a jerk.

Having a little fun with a camera.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...be71255ed5.jpg

Sexy.

The guy with the Honda has the Dog in the Sopwith-Camel on his tail...

When you have so much money you're looking for something new to buy...

Smile worthy.

BMW bikes are at the high end of motorcycling.

...and of motorcycle pricing.

Now those guys got some iron asses.

I saw Bowling Green, and thought 'Oh, shit, I might try to catch those guys in Bowling Green (thinking KY).

Then I saw OH (meaning Ohio), and thought, 'Oh.'

They're riding by dental floss ranches today.

♪ ♫Into the great wide open♪ ♫
♪ ♫Under them skies of blue♪ ♫

On iron that old, I hope their skies are blue.

In the list of cool things this ranks quite high.

They have loosened the rules this year to include those cushy modern bikes built from 1917 way up to 1929. But they did limit the field to 123 riders/bikes unleashed on American roads. :haha:

I see they are going from Billings MT to Great Falls MT tomorrow. Those are some unfriendly roads to be on with a slow bike.

Keeping tabs on the Cannonball run is like watching a professional sports team. A bunch of millionaires with some free time.

On a side note I always wanted a Harley until I got one. I have spent more money on this bike than all the metrics I've ever had. That said as soon as the flood waters recede I will pick up a 99 Kawasaki Nomad with 14k miles for 2k. Pictures will be posted when I get it. Don't tell Jim.

Leather swingarm bags...

Wouldn't that add to the un sprung weight?

Yup, and shake the hell out of anything in the bag. That's the price of cool.

I have one made by ' American Rider ' out of vinyl. Nothing rolls around inside as it is so small I have to cram stuff in.,

I wouldn't have thought that would be a great idea.

Ain't there a lot of 'movement' around them there parts?:eyebrow:

Damn cool flap, though!
