    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Recovering from hacking off bone spur on heel/achilles surgery, so can't ride yet.
It's been 28 days & have to wear the dreaded plastic boot for 6 weeks..

Ah..... weeks of recovery...
Hopefully recover and then things better.
 
Got this pic Monday.
Not a great photo, photographically.
First of all, too much parking lot in foreground that I often find as a detraction in photos. But in this case is on purpose.

Butch Beach Burrito in town here near the beach/pier (presently closed for the season).

When we moved here (1979) it was an A&W Root Beer drive-in, with the order-from-your-car menu and speaker at each parking space (or maybe every other parking space, so driver side one space and passenger side next space).
And they brought out your order and hung the tray on your car window/door.

Now Can somewhat see the base and the conduit of one of the menu/order/speaker stations making its presence known from under a layer of ashpalt there right next to the GK.
And, standing there, if then look around can see some of the others (to a lesser extent). So, I find that "historic".

Again, not that interesting of a photo to the observer.

But for me, this place brings up a memory, in that, when it was an A&W Drive In, we were there with our baby Justin, (so, 1980) and we bought a A&W Baby Mug. ANd we laughed about him not having a "silver spoon in his mouth", but, hey, now he has a A&W Baby Mug.
Seems like a minor thing to have remembered. Must have been the other occurance/situation of more significance at the time, like thinking of what the future holds for Baby Justin and us.​

We caught a spontaneous drive in movie on the GS a while back. The drive in was in Las Vegas, NM, nearly 150 miles from here. We grabbed a motel after the movie and added a few hundred more miles to the trip the next day.

The guy in the ticket booth was super cool. We chatted for a few minutes and he said just go on in, no charge. :dancing:
It must have been twenty five years since either of us went to a drive in movie. Those little speakers we used to hang on the car windows are gone. Now it's broadcast over FM radio so we had our helmets with Sena units on the whole time. It rained on us so the helmets were kinda nice anyway, lol. There was a double feature of Godzilla and Shazam. Can't remember much of either of the movies, but we'll never forget the occasion.

My vote this week is for Burque73​. We have a drive in theater here in Fort Worth that we go to frequently. We always smuggle in a cooler with some drinks and have a good time.
 
I'm going with Dorkbuger as a drive-in circus is something else. Get enough speed up and go clown bowling.
 
Guess everybody has forgot the old Dairy-Dip drive in's, looked like Redman's picture but for Milk Shakes, Banana Splits, Chocolate Sundaes, or triple cones, then go back to car or wander around parking lot eating.... So I'm voting Borque 73, just cause of all those "GREAT MEMORIES" from them. Don't look hardly normal without all those those speaker posts though.
 
Dork pic is intersting cuz I like the old vintage custom signs, especailly with the neon. CAn see the tubes there.

VOte for Burque, just for the entire view and situation depicted.
