      the dern draw bridge. Yes, on a US highway.
      When I get caught by it, I like to get out/off and look to see if the boat really needed to request the bridge to open.

        hey, Larr, what aircraft is that?

        Not real sure Dave. I'm not up on all the different models, but I think it might be a b1b bomber.

            Another morning ride today, stopped at the same place so you can see a different bike with the same jet.

              Got some information on the jet for Dave (Redman). It is a B1A. Here's some info on it.

                    Some great shots, wow guys. Living through you! I'm so buried by work, customer's bikes and #Dadmode I haven't ridden much this week. I think I'll ask the wife I can sneak out on the Monkey.

                    Keep posting your adventures. Something to look forward to resuming once Willa is old enough to accompany me.

                      Right? I'm enjoying these shots too. Sure hope you get out soon.


                      I'll add a couple of shots from today. Got out for a little ride around West-central New Mexico.

                      Lava flow at the Malpais National Conservation Area. The lava here just came up through cracks in the ground. Lots of volcanic activity in NM, it always fascinates me.

                      Thunderstorms on the horizon, especially later in the day, in almost every direction, but only hit light rain for a few minutes.
                      Fun day!

                          Bike n Hikes this past weekend. Saturday was the Niagara Falls area. This near the whirlpool.




                          Yesterday I rode in the opposite direction to some trails through a land conservancy area called the Gully Preserve. Found this monstrosity out in the woods. Must have been a railroad bridge but I haven't been able to find any info on it. Weird that something like this could be forgotten.



                          The other side.



                          Lots of small waterfalls.





                          Finished up with a ride through Letchworth Park. The Genessee River Gorge.

                              Hey Dave, we were up near Muskegan a couple weeks ago for the weekend, staying at Grand Haven. Our son has a summer job at Maranatha Bible Conference Center in Norton Shores playing drums in their praise band.

                                Extremely nice looking 58 Chevy Trevor. Beautiful paint.


                                On another note, yes, I went for a ride today, but no pictures. I mostly ride out away from town, but today I had 1 errand to run when I got back to town. I was within 2 miles of my house on a two-way street when some SOB decided to pass the car ahead of him and ended up coming at me head on. My only choice was to go off roading. Had to get home to change my shorts. Sure wish I would have handled it differently, but I was a little shaken by the whole experience and just went on home.
