XTreme Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 These weeks are flying by.......which is fine by me because July and August here are hard going. I'm planning to pick up an abandoned railway station on either Saturday or Sunday......not sure which station yet though. Probably the less sweaty option! What you got planned?

Glad we don't have lawns here. Headed out to ride an old train route today. They pulled up the tracks and now it's just a dirt road for me to ride on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get there once before this summer and the road was closed off. Gonna try again today and see if it's open. Pics to follow.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Off shortly to find another abandoned station.......though on this one I'm not sure if it still exists. Hope so......because the photo of a brick in the middle of nowhere is not exactly inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Just a note @BusBoy told me years ago that the exhaust tip i made using a 45 degree bend of standard copper pipe would never last....now, it might seem petty to bring this up, butt, and this is a big butt....you;d be right, its petty butt it lasted so there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
