dudes a legend, chicks dig scars, there's always a mystical sense or pride and bravado we get when the claret spills and makes a "this one time' story love it, oh and we all been there with the shower pain and a single or two teardrops tell me I'm wrong, we are a certain type of breed that's for sure

🤣🤣🤣
Walked it off then rode for another hour or so. Chest & stomach muscles were pretty sore yesterday along with the sting of fresh road rash. A bit sore this morning but should loosen up with todays events. Will be at a track somewhere tomorrow. Hopefully after picking up another bike I don't need but can't resist.......🤦‍♂️
 
My 1936 BF Goodrich 3x1 build off bike. I never thought while I was building this bike that it would become such a great rider especially with its short frame. I fitted a Johnny True Torch layback post this week for extra cockpit room and eye candy. Its been one of my favorite riders this year.

Another busy day getting ready for winter, but managed to carve out a few minutes for a quick cruise to take in some fall colors

Not much the Duck enjoys more than rolling with his Queen, wish we could have gone farther

Met up with my friend Allan today and checked out the Route 66 Flywheelers' antique tractor and engine show today. Allan brought his custom-built "Indian" motorbike, and I brought my '61 Murray Meteor Flite "Shoestring." Had a ton of fun cruising the fairgrounds and checking out the old tractors and engines in attendance.

There was also a good amount of classic cars out today as well, both at the tractor show, and at a nearby car show I learned about thanks to Allan.

All in all, it was a great day to catch up with a friend, check out some tractors, cars and engines, and of course, ride my bike.
 
rode the 1955 Greyhound with my daughter Saturday (she rode 4 miles with training wheels!). I have had this for ten years and I think it's about time it gets a chainguard. Anyone have something appropriate?

also, I'm thinking about putting it on a diet....re-lacing the wheels with aluminum hoops, alum seatpost, alum handlebars...
 
Oh that looks like a blast, especially in the fall!
Would like to have the rail to myself and see how fast I could get it going😂😂
They say the leaves weren’t that good this year but we thought it was beautiful.
We are planning another trip with our bicycles next time and in warmer weather.
Interesting history of these tracks…they were built before the civil war and were in continuous use until 2015, one rebuild in the 40s.
they built them to last.

Yesterday I took the cannondale 2.8 to work, it's so fun and cruisy to ride even though it's a small frame and I'm 6'2, nice sit up and beg position, and it's such a speed demon, light and agile

sorry for low quality pics, sometimes this phone takes great pics and other times it just won't focus mind you I was in a hurry to get home and I had shades on so couldn't see the screen properly....amateur move
 
Yesterday I gave the IronPig some road time. First I joined a #VisionZero protest where put up a ghostbike for a recently deceased cyclist after another accident (#11 this year in Berlin).

Straight after that I joined the monthly critical mass. The whole afternoon and evening it was lightly raining but that didn't keep us from riding.
To my pleasure there where also two SwingBikes amongst the riders.
