I used to live about two miles from that marker

“Once a Boy Scout……”. “Be Prepared”. And a jump pack.

"The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed..."

What's a 'jump pack'? You with the Airborne?

Trust me, you don't need to see pics of my old cat, on my old bike, with my young, long-haired me.

Got it. I'm so old I remember when you rolled it down a hill, popped the clutch, and you were off to the races.

[Rob S.]

Went for a ride about 30 miles away to a small independent motorcycle shop.
Unfortunately it had to close during the Covid Pandemic.

I just can't get over the CBX. I'm unilaterally declaring you the winner.

When can we expect your next audio/video? Nothing too extreme, just walk around, start her up, maybe redline the first few gears.

[steve murdoch]

Ha, i wish, Rob. Another couple months at least before it's nice enough to ride up here.

The ADV forum has a thread "You Motorcycle on the Lincoln Highway.
So I took a ride on the Lincoln Highway.
(A little west of Lisbon, Ohio).

Rack big miles...

[KiwiAlfa156]

Go for a ride and have a great time riding with a pal, you last rode with 37 years ago.

Is Friday. Vote Day.
I'll try a summation.

First the theme:

Theme: "Go for a ride and........."
Sometimes we go for a ride to go somewhere and have another activity/adventure/hobby......

ANd the photo entries:

and have another activity/adventure/hobby......

...... find the marker they put up where the plane crashed in 1970,

This was a side trip to indulge my interest in music history that I took while on a long trip to Sturgis and back.

"...to just stop and enjoy the dam view."

“……spend some quality time with my son”.

the last ride that I took with my brother, GRHS.

..............just to go for a ride.

So I took a ride on the Lincoln Highway.

Let me know what I might have messed up.

Looks good to me, Dave.
And thanks for doing it.

Excellent job Dave, I like how you put a brief caption above the picture...

[rphillips]

All good but simple for me this week. Voting for KiwiAlfa156 has got dibbs on the happiest, most enjoyable ride, And shows it well in picture.

Thanks. Has been some time since I was up and around and available tht early to do the summary.
I did hesitate some , while pondering if to include some of the posters comment or not.
Generally, my idea is that the pic should stand alone - whatever the picture itself conveys to the viewer should then be compared to the theme/subject - but, hey, this aint no art exhibit.
And gustov pic really needed to have the comment included.

Many Intersting photos and situations and stories.
I have three or so that I really like the best, each for various different reasons.
But the tie breaker I use is the theme, and how well the picture itself coveyed the theme without explanation: going for ride to do some other activity too.

THe smiles, and happyness, and commradery of Kiwi pic is very appealing.

I'll vote for Rich82
Picture looks like they went for a ride, and part of the ride was to purposly stop and pose for a picture.
I can just imagine, maybe, Rich stops and then is setting up camera/phone, maybe small tripod, maybe propped up on a rock and a stick or something, and maybe son say "oh, this again, Dad being Dad" and moves his bike into similar pose, or maybe Rich had pointed when he stopped and son knew what that meant.
Seeing the picture, I immeadiatly imagine all that.

And I've been learning to sleep later...LOL...

I agree, a good photo should tell the story without explanation. But this time I liked having them still there.
Your theme was an open ended statement, and I found the answers to be quite fun.
