Yes and in Philly the incompetent operators even kill innocent tourists! I think they're fun because the whole piece of poo poo is full of fat idiot tourists, just ripe for being hosed with. You can do such goofy/zany crap to get their attention and bother them and the stupid guide keeps on going. That is, until he realizes he is sailing right onto an oil barge and you sink (true story).

Okay, so I wasn't brave enough to actually get my knee down while rolling on 35 year old weather cracked rubber, so this is about as close as I could get. The kickstand was not happy.



And here is me actually getting a knee down with a slightly newer Suzuki.

Where I live the disabled tag isn't a plate per say, it's a placard and it goes with the user, not the vehicle.

In theory, there would be no reason why it couldn't go with a bike here at least.

Yeah, that was concern number 1. Number 2 was the fact that the temporary tags are just stiff paper, and would probably blow away.

This is from a couple years ago. But I assume it was the first handicap motorcycle plate in Colorado. Saw it at a library. Also note the snow on the ground.

I rode out to a horse farm, but I couldn't find any horse crossing signs.


I did tear apart the carb on that bike for the second time, however, and it runs now, so the day wasn't a total loss.

loving shady rear end dealers of corn. There's a region in southern Alberta that apparently has tasty corn, so every lazy oval office puts out his shingle purporting to sell the stuff, even if it's coming from somewhere completely different. Ah well. It's about as close as you get in Edmonton to a roadside market, without just hitting up one of the eleventy billion strip malls.

I present to you the very large, but not otherwise imaginative or impressive "54 Columns."


"Commissioned by fulton County Arts council, this minimalist structure by renowned artist Sol LeWitt integrates art and architecture.  The work comprised of 54 concrete pillars ranging in height from 10 to 20 feet and arranged in a triangular layout references the urban environment and atlanta’s skyline."

Boy was that fun.

This one has already been finished, but I wanted to post this picture because seriously, what the gently caress?



This is in the middle of a park near the police station in Raynham, MA. Now, I don't know if the dude who chiseled this thing had never seen a dolphin or if he was making some kind of artistic statement, but last I checked, their fins weren't situated all around the front of their body like some kind of fuckin' water propeller. And it's just randomly there in the middle of this big mulch patch. I don't know if it's supposed to be a bench or a plaything or a landmark or what.

Man, drat.

Unfortunately my high school girlfriend was probably a lot less fun than a concrete dolphin.

Although now she probably weighs more than a concrete dolphin, so, zing.

Nah, gently caress that. If you married your high school sweetheart, rock the gently caress on. Seductive poses are worth bonus points though.

How do you put your tits on the tank and heels on the seat cowl at the same time? I'm can't figure out the pose you're suggesting. That video is hilarious. "Yeah, honey, now frown at the camera and give me that look you give when you want to kill me! Hot!"

You have to be as skinny as a crackhead to pull it off. Really I have no idea what I'm taking about, I just got out of a BRC classroom session as part of RiderCoach shadowing and my brain is fried.

But yeah that video is amazing. I love how they totally demoralize her by making her lay on the ground. And then that dude rubs his had all over her. The best part is that the end photos still suck from a lighting and compositional standpoint regardless of her sourface.
