What remains of an old local New England style farm, the crop land was turned into a place of many McMansions, the road im parked on leads to them....probably one of the best examples of that style of barn in New England today imho.

Butt how will NBA members make any money selling their sneakers if they have to pay a living wage to those who make them?

National holiday here. Just happens to fall on my day off too so I didn4t actually have to work it and managed to get out for a ride in the afternoon. it went something like this I have been wanting for some time to go and look at a castle / fort pair that I noticed from the autoroute a while back. Having no real reference point it took me a while to locate themusing google maps and google earth and sort of triangulating from the autoroute, guessing distances. I found them on the "Butte de Thill", about 70km south east of here as the crow flies. I managed to turn that into a 200k round trip though... round a bend... the centre section: translation: " Here, 25th nay 1944, Hitlers babarians tortured and massacred 25 young resistants of the group "Henri de Bourgogne". They gave their lives that France might live" the stone wings to right and left of the centre lists their names and nicknames ( or possibly codenames) much time was spent dodging these, they are all flat out at the moment I had to stop and watch the lemmings for 5 minutes... all heading back to their parisien kennels after the long weekend...

Here is a pic with the pan on @Pedro, the bike doesnt overheat, the radiator could cool an American v/8, its just this bike is famous for dumping all the heat on the rider.. without the pan all the heat goes out the bottom now! Im very happy with the results

You expect to see Amish coming out of it!

It's as cool as you like

when i was first over here and bought a Yam xj900 i organised, twice, a run to the uk for a bike rally. once to the Suffolk Coasters Coypu rally and once to the Icini mcc 's "arse in the grass" rally. both obviously on the east coast. In those days you could still ride at silly speeds on the French autoroutes and get away with it. the first trip I organised, i gave the instructions that we'd ride the 30 k to Chalon sur saone, pick up the A6 nothbound and ride together at around 140km/h. Well we rode together as far as Chalon but once on the autoroute they all "poured the sauce" as no one says, ever... and despite keeping up a steady 170km/h I didn't see the front of the group again untill we got on the ferry at calais... that would have been in '95 or '96 I guess Won't happen again, those speeds today will see you in prison, no licence and no bike.

Even worse, Kawasaki dint use UV inhibitors when they molded the KLR's plastic's. If you dont keep a KLR in a garage it will freckle and fade. The 2oo4 KLR's Red plastic went to pink within weeks of ownership...

This is nice, all hydraulic fluid has been flushed on both bikes now. Im on a roll. Pic from last night.

In Canada, we'll never get to see small children (or drunk adults) running around, throwing lawn darts into the air and then dodging them as they fall to earth, pointy end first.....good times gone by..... ??
