I just realized I forgot to post last weeks Bike Night on my Elgin Moto bike.🤦‍♂️

It was another great evening with storms clearing just before ride time. Incredibly happy to make it since just 24 hours prior I parked my car in an irrigation ditch unintentionally.🤦‍♂️

And a tornado just north about the time paramedics arrived....

Thankful nobody else was involved. Only needed 4 stitches under my jaw, sore neck & shoulder & beat up car that should be fairly easy to fix. I was planning to replace most of what is needed when I decided to turn it from work car to hot rod touring sedan. Maybe the time is now....

I'm glad you didn't suffer too much with your parking job. Cars are expensive and bodies can hurt real bad so you are doing about as good as one can under the circumstances. Good luck with the touring sedan idea.
 
Shakedown ride today for the Stealthmaster before we head off to Greece next week. The bike rides great and is a massive improvement over the original version I built a couple of years ago. My favorite modifications are the raw finish and the layback post.

I am very thankful as well. Thank you! I have some good guardian angels. Even when bad things happen, it's usually kept to a minimum. :) Then up to me to turn into something positive.
 
This weekend I rode The Wolverine around the Wannsee. Saturday around 35 kilometers from my home to the campground and today another 35 from the campground back home. I just love how this bike flyes...! :cool:
This is "the Spy Bridge" where East and West exchanged captured spies...

My next foto stop is on the other side of the lake

This is one of my favourite foto locations, the church of Sakrow. Usually very quite, but this time there was a large group of teenager taking a dinner break on a canoo trip so I had to rush it...

Rolled out to the park with the ThundrrrLads. More foolin around than biking though, threw around the flying ring, triangle boomerang, and nerf football while climbing the apparatus. Chucked some stuff into a tree, chucked more stuff to get it out. They sure can come up with some amusing diversions

Sunny in Melbourne yesterday but the wind was ice cold. I got in a ride on the Red Menace before we take off for Lefkas island in Greece for a month.

It was a beautiful Father's Day in Denver with the Old Bikes Club on my Elgin yesterday!!

Being a bit sore from putting my car in a ditch & wrestling my truck into submission by replacing the pitman arm on Saturday left me REALLY sore & tired. Almost didn't go for the ride. I started feeling better as soon as I grabbed the Elgin & glad I went. The longer we rode, the better I felt!

It was a great day with a few friends and their machines!

I've had that too. The kids wanna roll, I'm too sore, eventually they convince me, and I'm always glad about it. I'm a firm believer in bike therapy, both for the physical and mental
