Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I can usually tell when someone around here has died or is moving. There will be one (or more) 30-yard dumpster(s) at the curb in front of their house. I keep telling my wife we shouldn't leave this for our sons, but she still has sweaters from when she was a teen. It's gonna be a real mess. Neighbor to my west fell and is in a nursing home- and ain't coming out. He has a friend come and get his mail and check on the house. Neighbor across the street and one east had a stroke. If his garage door hadn't been open, nobody would have seen him and he would have died right there. There are people I don't know in his house now, from Florida. Could be squatters, for all we know.

No, I wish. Not my bike, either. this is my first time back here and I see I should've added text, not just the picture. I took that picture at the Chesapeake Chapter of AMCA meet in October. I have owned one Knucklehead in my life. Last year, '47.

Another one from the meet

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

When I was a teen my buddy bought a knucklehead partial chopper. He sort of finished it and we rode the wheels off that thing. I sat on the hard rear fender with a skinny little sissy bar to hold on to. It had shorty pipes that forever vibrated loose. It was loud and great!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I happened on this today. Single car accident in a busy urban intersection. I have no idea what happened. The blue and white box van in the lane in front of me was the SWAT team van but they didn't stop. It appeared that they had also randomly driven
past the accident also. No one appeared to be hurt or actually excited. Quite strange actually.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

my folks bought a couple of these over the years, sometimes they would send a postcard beforehand

photos taken from airplanes and they would bring different sizes out, prices were negotiable



'86 Ford on the trailer, '83 chevy and '77 olds up by the house



I suspect their prices have gone up if they're even still in business

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Took the Bomber for one last spin today before the snow hits and the salt gets laid down.
It's almost unheard of in Connecticut for it to be this late in the season with no snow yet, so luckily I was able to enjoy driving it for this long till spring.

Yeah For sure.

Watching some of these people when it does S N O W down here.

They leave for work at the same time they normally do.

Then try to drive Over the speed limit.

Still ride the B U T T of the vehicle in front of them.

I just sit back and watch the show.

Thinking Hey you big dummy You have to Plan your Stops.
You Should not choose to Jam on the Brakes Like you normally do.
